To calculate the CBSE 10th percentage, students have to choose the best 5 out of 6 subjects. Below, we have provided simple steps on how to calculate the CBSE 10th percentage.

  • Firstly, add all your grade points (top 5) for the subjects you took in the board exams.

  • After that, divide the total by 5. The result will be your CGPA.

  • For a percentage, multiply your overall CGPA by 9.5.
