How UK Universities Read Nepali Results
Each UK university converts NEB grades and Nepali bachelor's marks into its own scale, so requirements differ. NEB grades map to mark bands: C+ is 50–59 marks, B is 60–69, B+ is 70–79 and A is 80–89. Treat the ranges below as indicative and check each university's Nepal entry page.
Always check the university's Nepal page
Entry requirements can change each year and differ by course. Confirm in writing before you pay a deposit.
