About two and a half months after the completion of the SLC, the results are published by the Examination Control Board. Students are categorized into five divisions according to their score:
- Distinction - above 80%
- First Division - 60% to 79.99%
- Second Division - 45% to 59.99%
- Third Division - 32% to 44.99%
- Fail-Below 32%
Despite such a low percentage requirement to pass the examination, many students (more than 50%), mostly students of governmental schools in rural areas of Nepal, still fail it every year because of the difficulty level that the exam has.

Even though if one fail to get above 40 marks in each subject, they are declared to fail the exam.The result of the SLC is very important to an individual student, since students with high percentage are able to obtain various scholarships for their higher secondary level education.
