KATHMANDU, March 29: The National Examinations Board (NEB) has revoked the randomly-distributed permits for Secondary Education Examination (SEE) monitoring.

The NEB has canceled these permits, except for those issued to officials of the Provincial Examination and Management Committee and the District Examination Coordinating Committee.

Unauthorized individuals have been observed visiting examination centers under the guise of monitoring, causing inconvenience to examinees, stated NEB officials.

The NEB said that those individuals whose monitoring permit has been canceled will only be allowed to supervise only if necessary.

Previously, the Provincial Examination and Management Committee and the District Examination Coordinating Committee had issued monitoring permits to officials from various individuals and organizations.

The NEB said that it is a collective responsibility to ensure that SEE examinees participate in the examination environment with confidence and without fear. Additionally, the NEB urged the Provincial Examination Conducting and Management Committee and the District Examination Coordinating Committee to ensure the dignified conduct of the examination.
