The Bachelor of Arts (BA) result is published online by Tribhuvan University's Office of the Controller of Examinations under the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (FOHSS). Whether you are checking a single year or your final result, knowing exactly how to find it, read it and act on it makes the whole process far less stressful. This complete guide explains how to check your BA result by symbol number, understand your marks, fix a result that looks wrong, and plan your next steps after the result.
Where the BA result is published
BA results are released by TU's Office of the Controller of Examinations on tuexam.edu.np under the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (FOHSS). On busy result days, trusted education portals and news sites republish the same official notice quickly, which helps when the main server is overloaded. Your campus also receives the result ledger. Treat the official portal and your campus as the final authority, and use mirrors only for speed. For a full portal walkthrough, see our guide on checking TU results online.
How to check your BA result step by step
- Open tuexam.edu.np or a trusted mirror.
- Find the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (FOHSS) result notice for Bachelor of Arts (annual / semester).
- Enter your symbol number exactly as printed, plus registration number or date of birth if asked.
- Submit and save your result status.
- Collect your official marksheet from your campus once it is distributed.
If you have lost your symbol number, our symbol number guide explains how to recover it.
BA subjects and structure
BA is a flexible humanities degree, so your subjects depend on the combination you chose — for example English, Sociology, Political Science, Economics, Rural Development, Population Studies or Mass Communication — alongside compulsory papers. Because two BA students can study very different subject sets, always match the result notice to your own specific subjects and campus before drawing conclusions. Confirm your exact subject combination with your campus, since it determines which notice and papers apply to you.
Why BA results vary so much between students
Unlike a fixed-subject degree, BA is combination-based, which means the papers, difficulty and even result timing can differ from one student to another. This is completely normal. The practical takeaway is to confirm your own subject combination and the exact notice that applies to you, rather than comparing your result directly with a friend who studied a different combination. Two BA graduates can have very different subject lists and still hold the same degree.
How to read your BA marks
Depending on your batch, BA results appear as marks and percentage or as letter grades and GPA. In the traditional system the pass mark is usually 35% per subject, with First Division commonly at 60% and above. In the grade system, each subject earns a grade point and your GPA is the credit-weighted average. Check your marksheet legend or confirm with your campus so you read your standing correctly — our grading system guide explains both systems in detail.
If your result looks wrong or you failed a paper
If a mark looks wrong, you can apply for re-totaling within the official deadline. If you failed a paper, you can clear it through the chance/back exam and still progress — read our recovery plan. A single setback is not the end of the road, and acting within the deadlines keeps your options open.
What to do after the BA result
After you pass, request your transcript and attend convocation to receive your degree certificate. If you are moving to another university you may also need a migration certificate. Planning these steps early keeps you ready for jobs or further study, so you can act the moment an opportunity appears.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Mistyping the symbol number or opening the wrong notice.
- Treating the online pass/fail status as your final marksheet.
- Missing the short re-totaling deadline.
- Refreshing repeatedly when the server is busy instead of trying off-peak hours.
