ExploreAbout this exam
The Secondary Education Examination (SEE), or माध्यमिक शिक्षा परीक्षा, is the Grade 10 examination administered by Nepal's National Examination Board (NEB), Sanothimi, Bhaktapur. Compulsory Mathematics is one of the papers in this written theory examination. This page is an independent study resource and is not affiliated with NEB.
NEB publishes an Assessment Framework for SEE and a Mathematics question-construction handbook (प्रश्न निर्माण सीप विकासका लागि हाते पुस्तिका, विषय : गणित). Use these, together with the sample question papers available from the NEB website, to establish the scope and style of the paper before you drill any single chapter.
A sensible preparation cycle is: read the framework, attempt one full sample paper under timed conditions, mark it honestly, then spend most of your remaining time on the chapters where you lost marks. Keep a formula and construction card; redo wrong questions after a week. In the exam, show every step, state units, and leave nothing blank. Because NEB can revise notices and schedules, confirm dates, registration deadlines and result services on neb.gov.np rather than relying on forwarded messages.
What you'll study
About Nepal SEE Mathematics preparation
Who sets and conducts the SEE Mathematics paper?
The National Examination Board (NEB), Sanothimi, Bhaktapur, administers the SEE. NEB publishes the Assessment Framework for SEE and subject handbooks, including one for Mathematics. School-level registration and form-filling notices for SEE Grade 10 are also issued by NEB. Always verify current instructions on neb.gov.np.
How long is the paper, how many questions, and what is the pass mark?
The NEB homepage reviewed for this page does not state the Mathematics duration, item count, full marks or pass mark. Do not rely on remembered figures: these details can change. Check the current Assessment Framework for SEE and the latest sample question paper on neb.gov.np, and follow your school's notice.
Can I improve my Mathematics grade after SEE?
Yes. NEB conducts the SEE for regular candidates and separately for grade-improvement (ग्रेडवृद्धि) candidates, and publishes a timetable for the 'नियमित तथा ग्रेडवृद्धि' sitting. Eligibility and form deadlines are set in NEB notices, so confirm with your school and the Examination Control Office, Grade 10, before applying.
What can I do if I think my Mathematics marks are wrong?
NEB provides post-result services such as re-totaling (पुनर्योग) and re-checking (पुनःपरीक्षण), governed by a 2083 directive on withheld results, re-totaling, re-checking, grade-sheet consolidation and record corrections. NEB has also published a notice inviting applications for answer-script re-checking of SEE 2081. Apply through the official process and deadlines, not through agents.
Where do I find the Mathematics syllabus and sample questions?
Start with the 'Assessment Framework for SEE' and the Mathematics question-construction handbook listed on neb.gov.np. The site also has a sample question papers section (नमुना प्रश्नपत्रहरू). Your school should have the approved curriculum. Use the framework for scope and the samples for paper style; do not treat a single sample as a complete syllabus.
When are SEE Grade 10 registration and application forms filled?
NEB published SEE Grade 10 registration and application form notices for 2083 on 2083 Kartik 10. Those notices are the authority for who fills the forms and the deadlines. Dates are fixed annually and can be extended or revised, so check the latest notice on neb.gov.np or ask your school rather than using an old date.
Is there a practical examination in Mathematics?
NEB has issued a 'Practical Practice Implementation Directive, 2083' (व्यावहारिक अभ्यास कार्यान्वयन निर्देशिका, २०८३). The retrieved NEB page does not state whether it applies to the SEE Compulsory Mathematics paper. Treat any claim that Mathematics has a practical component as unconfirmed until NEB publishes subject-specific instructions.
What is the most common way candidates lose marks in Mathematics?
Usually not by missing the hardest question. Common losses are unshown steps, wrong or missing units, premature rounding, misread instructions, and skipped parts of multi-part questions. In geometry, missing construction arcs and unlabelled diagrams cost marks. Build a checklist and use it on every practice paper.
What study order do you recommend?
Do not study only your favourite chapter. Diagnose first with one timed sample paper, then rank chapters by marks lost per hour of study. Alternate algebra/arithmetic with geometry/trigonometry so you are not stuck in one mode. Finish with full papers under exam conditions and a review of every error; keep the last week for formula recall and rest.
Does NEB announce the annual exam calendar?
Yes. NEB has published an annual examination work calendar (वार्षिक कार्यतालिका) for academic session 2083/084, and Examination Control Office calendars for Grade 10. The calendar is a planning aid, not a guarantee: individual notices can change dates. Confirm the actual SEE timetable from the official notice before booking travel or making other commitments.
