Introduction

The Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) Scholarship is an important opportunity for students in Kathmandu, offering financial support for those pursuing their Grade 11 and Grade 12 studies. Although the official notice for the 2082 scholarship has not yet been published, based on the 2081 notice, we can expect similar procedures and guidelines for this year’s scholarship. Below is a comprehensive guide, referencing the 2081 scholarship notice, to give you an idea of what to expect for 2082.

When Will the Scholarship Form Open?

According to the 2081 notice, the scholarship application form was available for submission starting from 29th Asar 2081 at 11:59 PM. We anticipate that the application form for 2082 will open around the same time—likely by 20th Ashad 2082. The application process is expected to be fully online, and students can submit their applications through the official site: entrance.kathmandu.gov.np.

Eligibility Criteria for the Scholarship

The eligibility criteria for the scholarship, as per the 2081 notice, included:

• Minimum GPA of 1.6 in the SEE (Secondary Education Examination).
• Applicants should have completed Grade 10 from either a community or institutional school.
• Students from disadvantaged or specific localities, such as those from landslide-affected areas or remote regions, were given special consideration.

We expect that the 2082 scholarship will follow similar eligibility criteria, with possible adjustments in the quotas for various categories.

Subjects and Programs Available

The scholarship for 2082 is likely to cover the same subject streams as last year, including:

• Science
• Management
• Humanities
• Education
• Law

As per the 2081 notice, students can apply for only one subject stream. Multiple applications for different streams were not permitted.

1. Online Submission: Students must visit the official portal at entrance.kathmandu.gov.np to fill out their application form.
2. Document Upload: Required documents, including the SEE mark sheet, citizenship or birth certificate, and a recent passport-sized photograph, must be uploaded.

Examination Details

The scholarship examination for 2081 consisted of:

• 30 questions each from Science, Mathematics, and English.
• 10 general knowledge questions.
• The exam duration was 2 hours, with no negative marking.

We can expect the 2082 exam format to be similar, with the same subject distribution and exam duration.

• Application Opens: Expected to open by 20th Ashad 2082.

Sample Documents for Application

As per the 2081 notice, applicants need to submit the following documents:

1. Schedule-1: This includes a certificate for students who completed their studies in community schools, showing their SEE exam details.
2. Schedule-2: This is for students from institutional schools, confirming their eligibility based on the required documents such as SEE mark sheet, citizenship, and other essential documentation.

Make sure to refer to these documents during your application process.

Recalculation of Marks

In case of any discrepancies or mistakes in the scoring, the 2081 notice provided instructions for mark recalculation. Once the results are published, students could request a re-evaluation of their exam papers if they believe that their marks were miscalculated. This process could be initiated by submitting a formal request and paying a required fee for the recalculation process. Keep an eye on the official portal for any updates regarding this procedure for 2082.
