Rules as of CDC Letter Grading Directive 2083 (read 5 November 2026). Last reviewed 2026-11-05.
Rule set: CDC Letter Grading Directive 2083 (read 5 November 2026). School grades, Classes 1 to 12.
Full marks
Each part gets its own grade, as on the grade sheet. Use the full marks on your mark sheet; a subject marked out of other totals goes in a run of its own.
Rule set: CDC Letter Grading Directive 2083
Percentage = marks obtained ÷ full marks × 100, then the grade from Schedule 1
Rules as of CDC Letter Grading Directive 2083 (read 5 November 2026). Status: confirmed against Curriculum Development Centre, Ministry of Education, Science and Technology: Letter Grading Directive 2083 (लेटर ग्रेडिङ निर्देशिका, २०८३) on 5 November 2026.
- Grades: A+ from 90% (4.0), A from 80% (3.6), B+ from 70% (3.2), B from 60% (2.8), C+ from 50% (2.4), C from 40% (2.0), D from 35% (1.6), NG below 35%.
- For school education, Classes 1 to 12. Each band starts at its figure and runs up to, but not including, the next: 80 is an A and 90 an A+. Below 35 is NG, with no grade point.
- In Classes 8, 10 and 12 the original certificate needs the minimum grade in every subject: a student who cannot obtain C in the internal part and D in the theory part of a subject gets no original certificate.
- One credit hour is 32 hours of teaching. The directive gives no credit hours per subject. So GradeCat gives each part's grade and no overall GPA.

How to use this NEB grade calculator
- Type the full marks of the theory part and the internal part, as on your mark sheet.
- Enter each subject's theory and internal marks. Names are optional. Add subject gives you more rows.
- Read each part's grade and grade point, and whether the subject meets the certificate minimum.
How NEB grades are worked out
The CDC Letter Grading Directive 2083 sets the grades for school education, Classes 1 to 12. Each answer book is marked in marks, and the theory and internal marks, kept apart on the grade sheet, are each turned into a letter grade.
Percentage = marks obtained ÷ full marks × 100
| Percentage | Grade | Grade point | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| 90 and above | A+ | 4.0 | Outstanding |
| 80 and above, below 90 | A | 3.6 | Excellent |
| 70 and above, below 80 | B+ | 3.2 | Very Good |
| 60 and above, below 70 | B | 2.8 | Good |
| 50 and above, below 60 | C+ | 2.4 | Satisfactory |
| 40 and above, below 50 | C | 2.0 | Acceptable |
| 35 and above, below 40 | D | 1.6 | Basic |
| below 35 | NG | none | Not graded |
Worked example: a B+ in theory
This made-up example comes from GradeCat's research: Physics theory 56 out of 75. 56 ÷ 75 × 100 = 74.66…%, which is 70 and above but below 80, a B+ worth 3.2. An internal mark of 22 out of 25 is 88%, an A worth 3.6.
The certificate minimum
In Classes 8, 10 and 12, the original certificate comes only after the minimum grade in every subject. A student who cannot obtain C in the internal part and D in the theory part of a subject gets no original certificate. In percentages, that is at least 40 internal and at least 35 theory.
Why there is no overall GPA here
The directive defines a credit hour as 32 hours of teaching, but it gives no credit hours for each subject and no formula for an overall GPA. GradeCat does not guess them, so this calculator gives each part's grade, as the grade sheet does. The grade sheet that comes with your certificate gives your GPA.
NEB grade FAQ
What percentage is an A+ in NEB?
90 and above, worth 4.0. 80 and above but below 90 is an A, worth 3.6.
Is 80 an A or a B+?
An A. Each band starts at its figure: 80 and above but below 90 is an A, so exactly 80 is an A.
What is NG in NEB results?
Not graded: below 35%. It has no grade point, and a Class 10 student with NG can sit the grade-improvement exam.
What is the minimum grade for the certificate?
C in the internal part and D in the theory part of every subject, in Classes 8, 10 and 12.
Does SEE use the same grades?
Yes. The directive's table covers Classes 1 to 12. An older table applies only to 2079 SEE candidates in the grade-improvement exam.
