Kathmandu Metro Scholarship Exam Sees 14,057 Students Clear the Test for Grade 11 Seats

Kathmandu Metropolitan City has announced the results of its Grade 11 scholarship selection examination, with 14,057 students passing the test. The result highlights one of the city’s largest education support initiatives, aimed at helping meritorious students secure scholarship opportunities in institutional schools across the metropolis.

The scholarship exam was designed to identify eligible students for Grade 11 support based on merit, with the process drawing strong participation from students seeking affordable access to higher secondary education. According to the exam notice, the city had selected thousands of students to sit for the entrance test, and the published results now mark a major step in the scholarship allocation process.

What the scholarship test covered

The selection exam followed a structured format based on the Class 10 syllabus. Students answered questions from Mathematics, Science, English, and General Knowledge, with a minimum passing score required to qualify. The test was conducted over two hours and did not include negative marking, making it a straightforward merit-based screening process.

Kathmandu Metropolitan City has previously stated that the scholarship program is intended to expand educational access for qualified students while supporting enrollment in institutional schools. The city had also outlined a large scholarship quota for Grade 11, reflecting a broader effort to channel public support toward students with strong academic performance.

Why the results matter

The passing of 14,057 students shows the scale of demand for scholarship-based schooling in Kathmandu. For many families, these results can directly influence where and how students continue their education after SEE, especially as Grade 11 admission costs can be a barrier in private institutional schools.

This kind of scholarship system also gives the metropolitan government a powerful tool to reward academic achievement while widening access to secondary education. In practice, it helps connect student merit with public support, creating a competitive pathway for school placement.

A broader push for education access

By conducting a citywide scholarship selection exam, Kathmandu Metropolitan City is signaling a continued focus on education as a public priority. The initiative is not just about admissions, but also about creating more equal opportunities for students from different backgrounds to pursue higher secondary studies.

With the results now out, attention will shift to the next stage of the process, including seat allocation and enrollment under the scholarship quota. For thousands of students, the announcement represents both a milestone and a chance to move one step closer to continuing their studies with financial support.
