New Grading and Evaluation System
A noteworthy update this year is the revision in the grading system, reducing the number of grades from nine to eight. This change introduces a new benchmark for success, requiring students to achieve at least 35% in theory and 40% in internal assessment across subjects. Additionally, the policy provides a remedial opportunity for students to enhance their grades in up to two subjects marked as ungraded (NG).
Innovations in Subject Evaluation
The examination model this year introduces a combined evaluation method, comprising both internal assessment and theory exams. Each of the seven subjects will include a 25-mark internal assessment, coupled with a 75-mark theory examination, aligning with contemporary educational standards and ensuring a holistic assessment of student capabilities.
The SEE is a crucial milestone in the educational journey of students, offering a platform to showcase their knowledge and skills. The NEB's meticulous planning and the introduction of a revised grading system highlight the commitment to enhancing educational standards and providing equitable opportunities for academic achievement. As students across Nepal and abroad gear up for this significant academic challenge, the nation looks forward to celebrating their successes and their contributions to the future of education.
