The National Examination Board has decided to release the Secondary Education Examination (SEE) results for the year 2082 within one month. Since the answer sheets were evaluated directly at the exam centers, the results will be available sooner, and the board is preparing to publish the results accurately without errors. This year, 512,421 students registered for the exam, and arrangements have been made for results to be accessible via SMS, IVR, and the official website.
Kathmandu, 27 Baisakh – “If one puts in the effort, it is indeed possible.” This has been a common reaction on social media after the decision to publish SEE results within one month. Previously, it used to take about three months to release the results. According to the National Examination Board’s calendar, results were generally published in the second week of Ashar.
However, under the leadership of Mayor Balendra Shah, the government introduced a new decision to ensure the results are published within a month. Accordingly, the board is planning to release the SEE 2082 results within the next two days. The board is diligently completing data entry work to avoid any mistakes.
Exam Controller Tukaraj Adhikari stated, “The time to publish the results is approaching. They will be out by the day after tomorrow. The IT department is working on it. We will release error-free results.” The expedited release is possible due to the answer scripts being checked directly at examination centers.
He added, “Teachers participated actively. Since answer scripts were evaluated at the exam centers and the strategy changed, it became possible to publish the results more quickly.” Once the IT department completes their task, the board meeting will be convened to announce the results. “After the IT department completes its work, the board will convene,” he further explained.
Over 30 staff members have been assigned to ensure timely publication of the results. According to the Office of the Controller of Examinations, staff continued working even on public holidays. Delayed results previously caused psychological pressure on students and unnecessary stress due to the implementation of the bridge course.
Education Minister Sasmita Pokharel said, “The decision to publish results within one month was made to avoid psychological stress on students.” The government has also discontinued the bridge course program following the SEE exams. Instead, it aims to provide opportunities for students to learn sports or music based on their interests.
The removal of the necessity to wait three months for results has excited both teachers and students. President of the Principal Association, Sudam Gautam, said, “Students no longer have to wait long to get results or attend bridge courses. Both teachers and students are enthusiastic. With timely results, classes must also start promptly. Timely results and classes send a positive message.”
This year, the SEE was conducted from Chaitra 19 to 29. After the exam, Kritak Paudel from Gokarneshwor, Kathmandu, went trekking to refresh himself. In the following week, he also trekked to Gosainkunda. Kritak remarked, “The government has also removed the bridge course. There is no need to rush to study after SEE. That’s why I went trekking. I did not feel any stress.”
He added, “Previously, one had to wait three months, and it was difficult deciding how to spend that time. This time, with results arriving in a month, I won’t waste my time. After the results, I plan to study computer subjects.”
Similarly, Shan Nyaupane from Bhaktapur described the one-month wait as “boring.” He also spent much of his time traveling around after the exams. “I got bored within a month. If it took three months to get results, it would be even harder. After SEE, I traveled in Bhaktapur and Jhapa, played, and watched movies. There wasn’t the pressure like during SEE.” He is now preparing to study science subjects.
Not only Kritak and Shan, but a large number of students are excited about the faster result announcement. This year, 512,421 students registered for the exam, including 441,566 in the regular category and 70,855 in the grade improvement category. Among them, 257,613 are female students, 254,801 male students, and 7 others. The National Examination Board has arranged for the results to be accessible via SMS, IVR, and on the official website.
