How to Get Your NEB Marksheet, Migration Certificate & Character Certificate After Class 12 Result 2083
Quick Summary: After your NEB Class 12 result, you need 3 official documents from NEB — a Transcript, Migration Certificate, and Provisional Certificate (called TMP) — plus a Character Certificate from your school. You can apply minimum 15 days after result day at the NEB office, Sinamangal, Kathmandu, with a fee of NPR 1,100 per document. Processing takes 7–30 working days.
Your NEB result is out. Your GPA is on the gradesheet. But for college admission, bank documents, foreign university applications, or even a government job — the online gradesheet is not enough. You need the official physical documents from NEB. This guide walks you through exactly what each document is, who gets it, what you need to bring, and what to do if something goes wrong.
The 4 Documents You Need — and What Each One Is For
Most students confuse marksheet, transcript, migration certificate, and character certificate. They are four different documents, issued by different offices, needed for different purposes. Here's the clearest breakdown:
| Document | Issued By | What It Proves | When You Need It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marksheet / Gradesheet | NEB (online + physical) | Subject-wise grades and overall GPA | Immediate — college applications, entrance forms |
| Transcript (TMP) | NEB, Sinamangal | Official combined academic record of Class 11 & 12 | Bachelor's admission, foreign universities, embassies |
| Migration Certificate | NEB, Sinamangal | Transfers your academic record to a new institution | Enrolling at a bachelor-level college (mandatory) |
| Provisional Certificate | NEB, Sinamangal | Confirms Plus 2 completion before final degree cert | Job applications, scholarships, visa applications |
| Character Certificate | Your school/college | Good conduct during your studies | Required as part of your NEB TMP application |
Transcript, Migration Certificate, and Provisional Certificate are applied for together at NEB and collectively called the TMP package. Each document has a separate fee.
Who Is Eligible to Apply?
To receive the TMP certificates from NEB, you must have passed both Class 11 and Class 12 with at least a D grade in every theory subject and a minimum C grade in every practical subject. If you have an NG in even one subject, you are not eligible until you clear it in the Grade Increment (Supplementary) Exam and the 15-day waiting period restarts from that result date.
📋 Registration number rule: Students with the first two digits of their registration number 73 or below must collect TMP certificates from the main NEB office in Sanothimi, Bhaktapur. Students with first two digits 68 and above can also use NEB's regional branch offices. When in doubt, check neb.gov.np for the current branch office list.
Step-by-Step Process for 2083
Wait 15 Days After the Result
NEB mandates a minimum 15-day waiting period after the official result publication before any TMP application is accepted. For the 2083 result published on Asar 5, 2083 (19 June 2026), the earliest you can apply is around Shrawan 30, 2083 (14 August 2026). Do not visit NEB before this — your records won't be ready and the visit will be wasted. If you appeared in the Grade Increment Exam, the 15 days count from that supplementary result date, not the main result date.
Get Your Character Certificate from School
The character certificate is not issued by NEB. You must get it from your school or college (the institution where you studied Class 12). Visit the school office, request the certificate, and collect it before your NEB visit. Most schools issue it within 1–3 days. Take a photocopy and keep the original safe. Do this step before preparing other documents so you don't have to make a separate trip.
Prepare All Required Documents
Collect photocopies of every document below and bring the originals on the day of your visit for verification:
- SEE (Class 10) marksheet photocopy
- Class 11 marksheet photocopy
- Class 12 marksheet photocopy (download and print from neb.ntc.net.np if physical copy not yet received)
- Grade Increment result slip (if applicable)
- Citizenship certificate photocopy (or valid photo ID — passport accepted)
- Character certificate from school/college
Visit the NEB Office and Collect the Application Form
Head to the NEB office at Sinamangal, Kathmandu (main office) or your eligible regional NEB branch. Office hours are Sunday to Thursday, 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM Nepal time. Friday, Saturday, and public holidays the office is closed. Collect the TMP application form at the counter, fill it in accurately with your name exactly as on your marksheet, symbol number, registration number, and personal details. One wrong digit means rejection.
Pay the Fee and Submit
Pay NPR 1,100 per document — fees are separate for each. Transcript, Migration Certificate, and Provisional Certificate are three separate payments. Applications without a valid payment receipt are not processed. Keep your receipt carefully; you will need it when collecting. Submit your filled form, payment receipt, and photocopies at the submission counter. Originals will be checked and returned.
Wait and Collect
Standard processing takes a minimum of 7 working days. During the peak rush after result publication (Shrawan–Bhadra), expect 2 to 4 weeks. The submission receipt will indicate your expected collection date. Bring the receipt when you return to collect. A third party can collect on your behalf with a letter of authorization plus their own ID — confirm NEB's current policy on this before sending someone else.

What to Do if Your Name, Date of Birth, or Grades Are Wrong
Errors do happen. NEB gives you 6 months from the result publication date to submit a correction request. Go to the concerned NEB branch or the main office at Sanothimi, Bhaktapur with your original marksheets and supporting documents. NEB will review, and if the error is on their side, they issue corrected documents.
Common issues and where to go:
- Name/DOB mismatch — Submit an application with your citizenship certificate, original marksheets, and a written request. Bring your school's registration records too.
- Absent marked instead of appeared — Bring your admit card and a letter from your exam centre or school.
- Wrong subject code or grade printed — NEB can verify this against their internal ledger and issue a corrected sheet.
- Not satisfied with grade → want re-totaling — Apply within 15 days of result at NPR 500 per subject with your downloaded marksheet.

When can I apply for my NEB transcript after the 2083 result?
Minimum 15 days after the official result. For 2083 (result published Asar 5, 2083 / 19 June 2026), the earliest application date is approximately Shrawan 30, 2083 (14 August 2026). Don't go before this — your records won't be ready.
What is the fee for NEB transcript, migration certificate, and provisional certificate?
NPR 1,100 per document, paid separately. If you apply for all three (Transcript + Migration + Provisional), you pay NPR 3,300 total. Always confirm the current fee at neb.gov.np before visiting.
Who issues the character certificate for my NEB application?
Your school or college (where you studied Class 12) — not NEB. Visit your school admin office and request it. Most schools issue it within 1–3 days. You need this certificate to complete your NEB TMP application.
Where is the NEB office in Nepal?
The main office is at Sinamangal, Kathmandu (also referred to as Sanothimi, Bhaktapur for some processing). Office hours: Sunday–Thursday, 10 AM–5 PM. Closed Friday, Saturday, and public holidays. Regional branch offices exist for eligible students — check neb.gov.np for the nearest one.
How long does NEB take to process the transcript?
Minimum 7 working days. During the peak application rush (Shrawan–Bhadra 2083), expect 2 to 4 weeks. Apply early and bring your submission receipt when you return to collect.
What is the difference between a transcript and a migration certificate?
The transcript is your full academic record (subjects, grades, GPA for Class 11 and 12) — required by universities, employers, and foreign institutions. The migration certificate formally transfers your academic record to a new institution — every bachelor-level college in Nepal requires it during enrollment. Both come from NEB.
I got NG in one subject — can I still apply for TMP?
No. You must pass all subjects before you can get TMP certificates. Sit the Grade Increment (Supplementary) Exam, pass the NG subject, and then wait 15 days from that supplementary result date before applying.
The Short Version
After your 2083 result: download your digital marksheet immediately, collect your character certificate from school within the week, and plan your NEB visit for around Shrawan 30, 2083 (14 August 2026) onwards. Bring all photocopies, originals, and NPR 1,100 per document. Expect 7–30 working days for processing.
And when you're filling any form that asks for your percentage — your NEB marksheet won't show it. Use our free GPA to Percentage Converter to get the figure instantly.
