Guide: After SEE
The SEE (Secondary Education Examination) is a major milestone. What you choose next sets the foundation for your career. Here are your primary options.
+2 (Science, Management, Humanities, Education)
The traditional and most flexible route. If you want to keep your options open for a Bachelor's degree, +2 is highly recommended.
- Choosing the right stream based on interest, not peer pressure.
- Researching colleges with good faculties over heavy marketing.
- Understanding the NEB curriculum and grading system.
CTEVT Diplomas (3 Years)
A vocational and technical route. Ideal if you know exactly what you want to do (e.g., Nursing, Overseer, Engineering, Agriculture) and want practical skills quickly.
- Preparing for the CTEVT entrance exam.
- Checking out government versus private institution costs.
- Understanding Bachelor's equivalency (it can be restrictive later).
A-Levels / IB
International high school equivalencies. Excellent if you are planning to study abroad or prefer a highly analytical and research-based curriculum over rote learning.
- Higher tuition costs compared to NEB.
- Subject combinations and global university requirements.
- The rigorous internal assessment and grading criteria.
