Overview
CTEVT Results: Process, Grading, and Troubleshooting
In CTEVT, the most anticipated and important stage after examinations is the “result process.” It is not only the publication of marks; it is also a legal process that reflects a student’s three years of effort and helps determine future pathways.
To maintain fairness, confidentiality, and accuracy in result publication, the CTEVT Office of the Controller of Examinations (OCE) follows a specific Standard Operating Procedure (SOP).

Post-Exam Collection
-
Sealed answer scripts are brought from examination centers across the country to the central office or designated collection centers.
-
Records of all bundles are maintained and verified against the number of examinees.
Coding and Decoding
This process is used to protect confidentiality so that evaluators cannot identify whose copy they are checking.
-
The section containing the student’s symbol number is covered and replaced with a “code number.”
-
Evaluators see only the code number, which eliminates the possibility of marks being influenced by familiarity or pressure.
Evaluation by Experts
-
Subject Matter Experts and experienced teachers are assigned marking responsibilities at central or regional levels.
-
Evaluators check answer scripts according to CTEVT’s marking scheme (marking standards) and submit the recorded marks.
Data Entry and Verification
-
Obtained marks are entered into the computer system.
-
The code number is then matched back to the student’s original symbol number through decoding.
Tabulation and Scrutinizing
-
Internal assessment (internal/practical) marks and external board examination (theory) marks are combined.
-
Experienced tabulators verify carefully for errors. If marks in any subject appear unusual or unclear, the answer script itself is called again and re-checked.
Board Approval and Publication
-
After all preparation is completed, a meeting of the CTEVT Examination Control Committee is held.
-
After the committee decision and approval, official permission is granted to publish the results.
-
Results are made public through Gorkhapatra or national daily newspapers, the official website, and SMS.
How to Check Results
Students can check results through the following three methods.
Website (With Marksheet)
-
Go to www.ctevtexam.org.np.

-
Ledger and marks details are displayed.

Send to: 37001
Understanding GPA and Grades
CTEVT currently follows a letter grading system. Grade calculation based on total percentage is as follows:
-
90% or above: A+ (GPA 4.0) – Outstanding
-
80%–89.9%: A (GPA 3.6) – Excellent
-
70%–79.9%: B+ (GPA 3.2) – Very Good
-
60%–69.9%: B (GPA 2.8) – Good
-
50%–59.9%: C+ (GPA 2.4) – Satisfactory
-
40%–49.9%: C (GPA 2.0) – Acceptable (for diploma, 40% is the minimum pass mark)
Post-Result Problem Solving
As soon as results are published, many students see “Absent” or “Withheld.” The correction process is as follows.
If the result shows “Withheld (W)”
-
Cause: Registration number mismatch or missing documents.
-
Solution: Register an application at Sanothimi to “clear the result,” attaching a photocopy of the registration card and a college recommendation.
If the result shows “Absent (A)”
-
Cause: Exam-hall attendance is not visible in the system.
-
Solution: If you appeared in the exam, take an attested copy of your attendance sheet from the relevant exam center and submit an application to OCE.
If you are not satisfied with the result (Re-totaling)
-
Within 15 days of result publication, fill the re-totaling form online or physically.
-
After paying the prescribed fee and submitting the application, the Council recalculates the marks and publishes a revised result within 5 to 10 days.
Certification Flow
Result publication is not the final step. For employment and higher study, the following documents must be obtained.
Transcript
-
This can be obtained only after passing all subjects of all years.
-
It shows consolidated marks for the entire study period.
Provisional Certificate
-
This is issued for 6 months to 1 year before the original certificate is issued.
Diploma Certificate
-
Usually, a few months after the academic session, the Council prints and dispatches it officially.
-
Application can be submitted only after the transcript is issued.
Verification
-
If you plan to go abroad, you must get these documents verified at CTEVT before taking them to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Expert Advice: Mistakes to Avoid After Results
-
Registration card safety: Since your ledger is based on the registration number, keep the registration card safely for three years.
-
Online copy vs official copy: A printed online result is only for temporary reference. For employment or official use, always use the official marksheet with seal and signature.
-
Deadline compliance: The re-totaling deadline is only 15 days. If you are late even by one day, the Council does not accept the application. Therefore, check your marks within the first week after the result is published.
In this way, CTEVT’s result process is transparent and systematic. If any problem arises, contacting your college or the provincial office promptly makes resolution easier.
