Kathmandu, May 9. Class 12 board exam has started from today. Chairman of the National Examination Board, Dr. Mahashram Sharma, has requested everyone to conduct the examinations peacefully across the country.
A total of 467,389 students from all over the country are participating in the exam. One thousand four hundred and fifty seven examination centers have been established for the examination.
The material required for the examination has been delivered to all the districts. This year, more than 56,000 students are going to participate in the grade enhancement exam. They will have to give the grade increase exam only in the subject in which they got the lowest number.
Students who have received ‘non-graded’ in three or more subjects will have to take the exam for the entire subject this year, even though the examination form for six subjects has been filled, the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology has revised the Letter Grading Guideline, 2078 BS.
According to the letter grading system implemented by the Board, the students who got ungraded in more than two subjects had to take the exam of all subjects. By doing this, the ministry revised the guidelines after there was a possibility of students dropping out in the grade increase examination held last year.
