    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.

    For example:

    • If your grade points for the five main subjects are: 9, 8, 9, 9, and 7, then

    • Step 1: Add the grade points: 9+8+9+9+7 = 42
