NEB GPA Calculation & Formula – How to Calculate GPA in Nepal

This simple guide shows how to calculate NEB GPA for Class 11 & 12 in Nepal—using Letter Grading Directory 2078, a clean formula, and a quick example. You’ll also find an automatic calculator link to save time.

What is NEB GPA?

NEB (National Examination Board) uses the Grade Point Average system to evaluate student performance. Each subject gets a Grade (A+, A, B+, …) and a corresponding Grade Point (GP). Your overall GPA is the credit-weighted average of those grade points.

NEB Official Grading Table

This NEB grading table shows how a student’s marks (percentage) are converted into a grade and GPA (Grade Point Average). It helps to understand a student’s academic performance level clearly.

Percentage (%)	Grade	Grade Point (GP)	Remarks
90 – 100	A+	4.0	Outstanding
80 – 89	A	3.6	Excellent
70 – 79	B+	3.2	Very Good
60 – 69	B	2.8	Good
50 – 59	C+	2.4	Satisfactory
40 – 49	C	2.0	Acceptable
35 – 39	D	1.6	Basic
Below 35	NG	0.0	Not Graded

Note: Subjects with higher credit hours impact your GPA more than low-credit subjects.

GPA Formula (Simple)

This formula is used to calculate a student’s overall Grade Point Average based on all the subjects they have studied. Each subject has a certain credit hour and a grade point (based on the marks obtained). By multiplying the grade point of each subject by its credit hour and then dividing it by the total credit hours, we get the overall GPA.

Use this credit-weighted formula:

GPA = ( Σ (Grade Point × Credit Hours) ) ÷ ( Σ Credit Hours )

Step-by-Step Example (Class 12)

Here we present an example to show how to calculate GPA in a practical way. You can calculate your own GPA by following this example.

Subject	Credit Hours	Grade	Grade Point (GP)
English	3	A	3.6
Nepali	2	B+	3.2
Physics	4	A+	4.0
Chemistry	4	A	3.6
Mathematics	4	B	2.8
Computer Science	3	A	3.6

1) Multiply GP × Credit Hours

• English → 3 × 3.6 = 10.8
• Nepali → 2 × 3.2 = 6.4
• Physics → 4 × 4.0 = 16.0
• Chemistry → 4 × 3.6 = 14.4
• Mathematics → 4 × 2.8 = 11.2
• Computer Science → 3 × 3.6 = 10.8

2) Add All Weighted Points

Total = 10.8 + 6.4 + 16.0 + 14.4 + 11.2 + 10.8 = 69.6

3) Divide by Total Credits

Total Credits = 3 + 2 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 3 = 20

GPA = 69.6 ÷ 20 = 3.48

This is your overall GPA.By using this process, you can easily calculate your GPA. It is useful for students of all classes.

Quick Tip: For a faster GPA boost, prioritize revision for 4-credit subjects first—they shift the average more.

FAQs (Quick Answers)

How are grades converted to GPA?

Each letter grade maps to a Grade Point (e.g., A = 3.6). Multiply GP by credit hours, add all, then divide by total credits.

Do optional subjects count in GPA?

Yes—if credits are assigned by your stream/school. The weight follows its credit hours.

Is 3.5+ considered good?

Yes. Anything around 3.5 or higher is widely considered strong for most programs.

Can I calculate GPA automatically?

Absolutely. Use the calculator link above for instant results and fewer mistakes.
