Ensuring a structured, equitable, and conducive atmosphere, the examination aims to uphold principles of fairness and tranquility throughout its duration according to SEE Examination Controller, Nanda Lal Poudel.
This year, the examination adheres to the 'Late Grading Guidelines 2078,' though the practical application of these guidelines awaits finalization.
