Nepal uses different grading systems across education levels and institutions. This calculator covers the four most widely applied:
| Grade | Marks (%) | Grade Point | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| A+ | 90–100 | 4.0 | Outstanding |
| A | 80–89 | 3.6 | Excellent |
| B+ | 70–79 | 3.2 | Very Good |
| B | 60–69 | 2.8 | Good |
| C+ | 50–59 | 2.4 | Satisfactory |
| C | 40–49 | 2.0 | Acceptable |
| D | 30–39 | 1.6 | Partially Acceptable |
| E / NG | Below 30 | — | Not Graded |
| Grade | Marks (%) | Grade Point | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 90–100 | 4.0 | Distinction |
| A− | 80–89 | 3.7 | Very Good |
| B+ | 70–79 | 3.3 | First Division |
| B | 60–69 | 3.0 | Second Division |
| B− | 50–59 | 2.7 | Pass in Individual Paper |
| C+ | 45–49 | 2.3 | Lower Second Division |
| C | 40–44 | 2.0 | Third Division |

KU uses two distinct grading schemes depending on the school. Pick the matching variant in the calculator's KU sub-selector.

CTEVT largely mirrors NEB grading for secondary technical courses and applies TU-style semester grading for diploma/Pre-Diploma programmes. This tool uses NEB-equivalent bands when "CTEVT" is selected — always verify with your institute's mark sheet legend.
Semester GPA uses credit-weighted grade points:
SGPA = Σ (Grade Point × Credit Hours) ÷ Σ Credit Hours
For example, a student with three subjects — one 3-credit A (4.0), one 2-credit B+ (3.3), one 3-credit B (3.0) — has SGPA = (4.0×3 + 3.3×2 + 3.0×3) ÷ 8 = 27.6 ÷ 8 = 3.45.
Semester GPA is calculated as the sum of (grade points × credit hours) for every subject, divided by the total credit hours. NEB uses a 4.0 scale with A+ = 4.0, A = 3.6, B+ = 3.2 and so on; TU, KU, Pokhara University and Purbanchal University use slightly different cut-offs but all sit on the 4.0 scale.
The National Examinations Board (NEB) uses an 8-band 4.0 scale: A+ (90–100%) = 4.0 Outstanding, A (80–89%) = 3.6 Excellent, B+ (70–79%) = 3.2 Very Good, B (60–69%) = 2.8 Good, C+ (50–59%) = 2.4 Satisfactory, C (40–49%) = 2.0 Acceptable, D (30–39%) = 1.6, E (below 30%) = Not Graded.
Enter your percentage in the converter above and select your grading system. The tool returns the matching letter grade and GPA on the 4.0 scale. As a rule of thumb for NEB, a percentage in the 70–79 range is B+ (3.2), 80–89 is A (3.6), and 90 or above is A+ (4.0). Avoid the rough "percent ÷ 25" formula — it rounds incorrectly at band edges.
Yes — a GPA of 3.5 on the 4.0 scale is solid. In NEB terms it sits between A (3.6) and B+ (3.2), roughly equivalent to 76–79% (Very Good band). Most competitive Bachelor's programmes in Nepal accept 2.4+ for general entry, and top universities abroad typically expect 3.0+ GPA equivalent for postgraduate study.
NEB (SEE & Grade 11/12) uses A+ / A / B+ / B / C+ / C / D / E with grade points stepping in 0.4 increments (4.0 → 0). TU semester grading uses A / A− / B+ / B / B− / C+ / C with grade points 4.0 → 2.0 and F below 40%. The key practical difference is the pass mark — NEB requires D (30%) for promotion, while TU requires C (40%) to clear a paper.
KU does not use a single grading scheme. KU School of Engineering and KU School of Management (undergraduate programmes) start grade A at 80%, while KU School of Medical Sciences and KU Pharmacy start A at 90%. Pick the variant that matches your programme — the calculator's KU sub-selector handles both.
No. Pokhara University uses a TU-style scheme where A starts at 90% and the pass band B− begins at 50%. Purbanchal University starts A at 80% and uses tighter 5-percent bands (similar to KU SOE). Both are 4.0-scale 8-band schemes, but the cut-offs differ — always pick the right radio for your transcript.
