How Does SEE 2082 Pass Percentage Compare to Past Years?
The pass percentage has improved significantly in 2082 compared to recent years.
SEE 2082 pass percentage is 65.98 percent published in May 2026. SEE 2081 pass percentage was 61.81 percent published in June 2025. SEE 2080 pass percentage was 66.32 percent. The improvement from 2081 to 2082 is 4.17 percentage points.
The 2082 result is notably faster than past years. The SEE 2081 result came out in June 2025, roughly 2.5 months after the exam. The SEE 2082 result came out in just 29 days. This speed improvement is directly due to two changes NEB made this year.
First, NEB introduced on-site evaluation where answer sheets were checked at exam centers immediately after exams ended. This eliminated the transit time involved in sending papers to district offices. Second, the government had officially committed to publishing the result within one month of exam completion and NEB met that deadline with one day to spare.
Why Did the Pass Percentage Improve in SEE 2082?
The improvement from 61.81 percent in 2081 to 65.98 percent in 2082 is meaningful and reflects real changes in how the exam was managed.
On-site evaluation was the biggest factor. Answer sheets stayed at exam centers. Examiners checked papers on location. This reduced errors that can occur during transit and made the checking process more transparent and accountable.
Paper checking for SEE 2082 was completed by April 19, 2026. Marks entry started on April 22, 2026. Final tabulation and verification was ongoing by May 7, 2026. The result was published on May 12, 2026. This entire timeline of just over one month from exam end to result publication is a significant achievement for NEB.
The Ministry of Education had set a clear accountability target of one month. That pressure created a focused, efficient process from checking to publication.
How Many Girls Passed SEE 2082 Compared to Boys?
The total breakdown shows 257,613 female students and 254,801 male students appeared this year. This is actually slightly more female students than male students, which reflects a broader trend of increasing female participation in national examinations in Nepal.
NEB has not separately published the pass percentage breakdown by gender for SEE 2082 as of May 12, 2026. When this data is officially released, this page will be updated. Based on past years, female students have generally shown equal or better pass rates than male students in SEE.
What Does NG Mean and How Many Students Got It?
146,507 students received NG in SEE 2082. NG means Not Graded. It means the student scored below 35 marks in the external theory exam or below 40 percent in internal assessment for that specific subject.
Getting NG does not mean failing everything. NG applies to individual subjects only. A student who got NG in one subject passed all other subjects normally.
Students with NG in one or two subjects can appear for the SEE Grade Increment Exam. The grade increment exam date for 2082 is confirmed from 1 Asar to 9 Asar 2083. In English calendar dates that is June 15 to June 23, 2026.
Students must apply for the grade increment exam through their school before the official deadline. The application fee is NPR 500 deposited in revenue account number 14223. For the full process, you can read our guide on how to apply for SEE re-exam in Nepal.
Students with NG in more than two subjects are not eligible for the grade increment exam and need to appear in the full SEE exam again next year.
