    How to Calculate CBSE 10th, 12th Result Percentage?

    To calculate the CBSE 10, 12th percentage, students will have to multiply their overall CGPA by 9.5. For example:

    • If the candidates’ grade points for all six subjects are: 9, 8, 9, 9, 7 and 5 (in case of class 12), then they will have to choose the best of the five subjects

    • Then, they must add the grade points: 9+8+9+9+7 = 42

    • Divide it by 5, i.e., 42/5 = 8.4

    • The CGPA of the best of 5 will be 8.4.

    • To convert it into a percentage, they must multiply the overall CGPA by 9.5 (8.4 x 9.5).

    • Hence, the overall CBSE percentage will be 79.80%.

    CBSE 10th, 12th Grading System
