On the first day, students are appearing for the compulsory English examination. The SEE will continue until April 11.

The number of female candidates is higher this year, with 257,613 female students, 254,801 male students, and seven others participating in the examination. Additionally, 23 students are taking the exam from a center in Japan.
The National Examination Board has announced that answer sheets will be checked at the respective examination centers, and results will be published within one month.
A total of 1,966 examination centers have been designated across the country.

This year, collective monitoring of examination centers has been prohibited. The decision was made following complaints that the presence of representatives from various organizations in exam halls disrupted students during their exams.
For monitoring purposes, a committee has been formed in each district under the coordination of the Chief District Officer.
Following the English exam today, the schedule continues with compulsory Nepali on April 2, compulsory Mathematics on April 4, Science on April 5, and Social Studies on April 6.
