Understanding Your GPA

The Grade Point Average (GPA) system was introduced by the National Examination Board (NEB) of Nepal in 2016 to replace the traditional percentage-based grading system. This change was made to align Nepalese education with international standards and to provide a more comprehensive evaluation of student performance.
