According to him, students must score 35 percent in SEE now in order to study higher education. He said that students who  score less than 35 percent will be ungraded.


According to the directive, if a student scores less than 35 points in the theoretical section, they will be marked as unclassified (non-graded) on their results and the original certificate will not be issued. In such a situation, it has been arranged that one can get a chance to take a re-exam of two subjects up to three times. 


Nandalal Paudel, Controller of SEE Examination Control Office said that 489,000 examinees will participate in this year's SEE regular and grade enhancement exams. The NEB has already implemented the grading system in class 11 and 12.


The NEB has intensified the preparation for the exam. According to the NEB, the preparation of other materials such as printing of answer sheets, printing of question papers and determination of examination centers has started.
