Kathmandu, Apr 20 : The National Examination Board (NEB) has said that preparations for the Secondary Education Examination (SEE) of the academic session 2078 BS have reached the final stage.

The board that concluded the SEEs through internal evaluation in the two academic years -2077 and 2076 - because of the COVID-19 pandemic is conducting the exams as in the normal period. The NEB has scheduled to conduct SEE from April 22.

The NEB has been preparing to conduct the SEE in coordination with the Province Ministry of Social Development and the District Examination Coordination Committee this time.

Arjun Rayamajhi, Examination Controller of SEE, said that the examination materials including question papers and answer sheets have reached all 77 districts. Now, the NEB has been conducting training for superintendents across the country.

The Board has fixed 2,007 examination centers and one sub-center for 514,760 examinees across the country.

The board informed that 488,742 candidates will take the regular

examinations and 11,454 candidates will participate in grade upgrading examinations. Similarly, 14,564 students from 299 technical schools across the country are also attending the SEE.

Although the Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology (MST) had prepared to conduct SEE from the province level this year, it was unable to conduct the examinations that way in a lack of required law.

Rayamajhi said that the NEB will initiate conducting the examinations from the province level once the required action is in place.
