The aim of the paper is to show the following: Let \(k\) be an algebraically closed field and let \(R=k [X_0, \dots, X_n]\). Suppose we are given the unimodular row \((f_0, \dots, f_n)\) with homogeneous polynomials. Assume \(n!\mid \ell(R/(f_0, \dots, f_n))\), where \(\ell\) means length. Then the unimodular row \((f_0, \dots, f_n)\) is completable, i.e. there is \(A\in\text{GL}(n+1,R)\) such that \(A(f_0, \dots, f_n)= (1,0, \dots,0)\). This gives an answer in a special case to a question of Nori about unimodular rows, a question generalizing a theorem of Suslin.
