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
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 |
GPA Formula (Simple)
Use this credit-weighted formula:
GPA = ( Σ (Grade Point × Credit Hours) ) ÷ ( Σ Credit Hours )
Step-by-Step Example (Class 12)
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
