ExploreAbout this exam
The Secondary Education Examination (SEE) is the Grade 10 school-leaving examination in Nepal, administered by the National Examination Board (NEB), Sanothimi, Bhaktapur - "नेपाल सरकार राष्ट्रिय परीक्षा बोर्ड सानोठिमी, भक्तपुर" as the board's own masthead reads. It is taken by students completing Grade 10 and is the gate to Grade 11 enrolment, so it matters to every candidate finishing basic schooling. Social Studies & Life Skill Education is examined as one subject within the SEE subject set; the NEB site lists it among the subjects for which results, re-totaling and rechecking notices are issued, confirming it as a live examinable subject. NEB publishes an "Assessment Framework for SEE" alongside frameworks for Grade 12 and BLE, and it maintains a sample-question-paper download section and question-construction handbooks for several subjects. Preparation should therefore be anchored on the official Assessment Framework for SEE and the NEB sample question papers rather than on guesswork: read the framework to see how marks are distributed, work through sample papers under timed conditions, and revise the Grade 10 curriculum content. Note that NEB's public pages are mostly administrative notices - registration and application form notices for SEE Grade 10, exam operation directives, and re-totaling and rechecking announcements - so candidates should check neb.gov.np regularly for schedule changes, and should treat the framework and sample papers as the study spine.
What you'll study
About SEE Social Studies Nepal preparation
Who conducts the SEE Grade 10 examination?
The National Examination Board (NEB), Sanothimi, Bhaktapur - printed on its site as "नेपाल सरकार राष्ट्रिय परीक्षा बोर्ड सानोठिमी, भक्तपुर". NEB publishes SEE notices, sample question papers, the Assessment Framework for SEE, and results. Always verify details on neb.gov.np rather than relying on second-hand summaries.
Is Social Studies & Life Skill Education actually examined at SEE?
Yes. NEB's site lists "कक्षा १२ को सामाजिक अध्ययन तथा जीवनोपयोगी शिक्षा विषयको पुनर्योगको नतिजा प्रकाशन सम्बन्धी सूचना", showing the subject is examined and has a re-totaling process. Treat it as a full subject in your SEE preparation, not an optional extra.
Where do I find the official syllabus and framework for SEE?
NEB hosts an "Assessment Framework for SEE" in its Assessment Framework section, next to frameworks for Grade 12 and BLE. The site also has a Download section with "नमुना प्रश्नपत्रहरू" (sample question papers). Use the framework to understand mark distribution, then practise with the sample papers.
How do I register for SEE Grade 10?
NEB published "SEE कक्षा १० को रजिष्ट्रेसन फाराम भर्ने भराउने सूचना २०८३" and a separate application form notice, both dated २०८३ कार्तिक १०. Forms are normally routed through your school. Read the current notice on neb.gov.np for the exact process and deadline; dates change each year.
What if my result seems wrong - can I get it re-totalled or rechecked?
Yes. NEB issues re-totaling results in lots, for example "RETOTALING RESULT 2081 6TH LOT (SEE)", and publishes notices such as "माध्यमिक शिक्षा परीक्षा(SEE) २०८१ को उत्तरपुस्तिका पुनःपरीक्षणका लागि निवेदन दिने सम्बन्धी सूचना". Watch neb.gov.np for the application window and follow the stated procedure exactly.
What are the rules inside the examination hall?
NEB has issued "परीक्षा हलमा मोबाएल फोन लगायत अन्य Electronis Device निषेध गरिएको सम्बन्धि सूचना" - mobile phones and other electronic devices are prohibited in the exam hall. Leave such devices outside. Carrying one can jeopardise your entire examination, regardless of whether you used it.
Where is the SEE exam operation and answer-sheet checking governed?
NEB has published the "माध्यमिक शिक्षा परीक्षा (एसइइ) सञ्चालन, व्यवस्थापन तथा उत्तरपुस्तिका परीक्षण निर्देशिका – २०८२" - the SEE Operation, Management and Answer-Sheet Checking Directive. It is listed under NEB's current rules and directives and is the reference for how papers are conducted and marked.
How do I contact NEB about a Grade 10 (SEE) problem?
NEB lists a Grade 10 examination control office contact: phone ०१-६६३०८१९, ०१-६६३०७३९ or ०१-६६३००७०, mobile ९८५१३४०१५०, email seegrade१०@gmail.com. The general board line is (+९७७)-०१-६६३०८४८ / ०१६६३०७४७, email [email protected]. Confirm these on the site before calling.
How should I organise my revision?
Start from the Assessment Framework for SEE to see what is weighted, then work through NEB's sample question papers under timed conditions. NEB also publishes question-construction handbooks, which show how items are framed - useful for anticipating question style. Revise weak topics first, and keep checking neb.gov.np for schedule changes.
When is the SEE held each year?
NEB publishes an annual examination calendar - for example "शैक्षिक सत्र २०८३/०८४ को परीक्षासम्बन्धी वार्षिक कार्यतालिका" - and separate SEE timetables. Exact dates are set each year and are not fixed in advance. Check the annual calendar and the SEE timetable notice on neb.gov.np for the current session.
