Nepali School Gradebook — SEE GPA 4.0 with +2 Division System and NEB Compliance
Nepal's National Examination Board (NEB) administers two key examinations: the Secondary Education Examination (SEE) at Grade 10 using a 4.0 GPA scale (A+ to NG), and the Grade 12 (+2) examinations using a percentage-based Division system (Distinction, First, Second, Third Division). OpenEduCat supports both frameworks, generates NEB-aligned mark sheets and transcripts, and provides bilingual document generation in Nepali (Devanagari) and English.
Grading Scales
Pre-configured grade bands shipped with the Nepal module. No manual setup required.
| Grade | Points / Range | Description |
|---|---|---|
| A+ — Outstanding | GPA 4.0 (≥90%) | SEE Grade 10: Highest achievement band. Full GPA points. Equivalent to Distinction at +2 level. |
| A — Excellent | GPA 3.6 (80–89%) | Excellent performance. Clearly above the First Division threshold at +2. |
| B+ — Very Good | GPA 3.2 (70–79%) | Very good. Above average demonstration of curriculum competencies. |
| B — Good | GPA 2.8 (60–69%) | Good performance. Second Division equivalent at +2. |
| C+ — Satisfactory | GPA 2.4 (50–59%) | Satisfactory. Pass grade. Third Division equivalent. |
| C — Acceptable | GPA 2.0 (40–49%) | Minimum passing GPA for SEE. Third Division pass. |
| D — Partial Achievement | GPA 1.6 (30–39%) | Below standard. Subject failed at SEE. Grace marks may apply per NEB regulations. |
| NG — Not Graded | GPA 0 (<30%) | Not graded — below minimum attainment. Subject must be retaken. |
What the Nepal Module Does
Country-specific features that go beyond the core gradebook engine.
SEE GPA Calculation (Grade 10)
The SEE uses a GPA-per-subject model (not a cumulative GPA). Each subject earns a grade letter and GPA value. OpenEduCat stores both the percentage and the NEB-assigned grade letter, displaying the GPA breakdown in the format required by NEB mark sheets.
+2 Division System (Grade 11–12)
At +2 level, the aggregate percentage determines the Division: Distinction (≥80%), First Division (60–79%), Second Division (45–59%), Third Division (32–44%). OpenEduCat computes the aggregate and assigns the Division automatically, flagging borderline students.
NEB Mark Sheet Generation
OpenEduCat generates the NEB-format mark sheet in both Nepali (Devanagari script) and English. Subject names, grade letters, GPA values, and the overall Division appear in the standard NEB layout.
Optional and Compulsory Subject Handling
The NEB SEE includes compulsory subjects (Nepali, English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies) and elective subjects. The GPA calculation excludes or includes optional subjects per NEB rules. Subject tagging (compulsory/optional) at the curriculum level drives the automatic calculation.
Grace Mark Policy Enforcement
NEB allows grace marks (up to 3 marks per subject, maximum 5 subjects) to help borderline students pass. The `np_grace_marks` field tracks any grace applied per subject, ensuring the final GPA accurately reflects NEB regulations and the original raw score is preserved.
Re-Attempt Policy
NEB Compartment and Back Examination Policy
Students who fail up to two subjects at SEE may sit a Compartment examination. For +2, students who fail may appear in the Back examination in the following sitting. Both exam types are tracked with their own date and result fields. The system preserves the original mark and the back exam result separately.
How re-attempts affect the transcript
- The active grade (counted in GPA) is marked with an asterisk (*)
- Superseded or excluded grades are annotated with their status code
- All attempts appear on the transcript for full academic transparency
- Cleared, condoned, compensated, and exempted backlogs do not block graduation

Regulatory Alignment
National Examination Board (NEB) Nepal — SEE and Grade 12 Examination Regulations | Office of the Controller of Examinations (OCE)
The Nepal gradebook module pre-configures grading scales, assessment templates, re-attempt policies, and transcript formats to align with the requirements set by National Examination Board (NEB) Nepal — SEE and Grade 12 Examination Regulations | Office of the Controller of Examinations (OCE). The data structures, computation rules, and report formats follow the standards your accreditation body expects to see during institutional audits.
Grade distributions, pass rates, GPA trends, and classification statistics can all be exported to Excel for submission during accreditation reviews. The structured data makes it straightforward to pull the specific metrics your accreditation criteria require.
