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%.

Hello Aspirant,

SASTRA University commonly provides concessions and scholarships based on merit in class 12 board exams and JEE Main purposes with regard to board merit you need above 95% in PCM (or on aggregate) to get bigger concessions, usually if you scored 90% and above you may get partial concessions. I suppose the exact cut offs may change yearly on application rates too.

Hello,

After 12th, if you are interested in computer science, the best courses are:

  • B.Tech in Computer Science Engineering (CSE) – most popular choice.

  • BCA (Bachelor of Computer Applications) – good for software and IT jobs.

  • B.Sc. Computer Science / IT – good for higher studies and research.

  • B.Tech in Information Technology (IT) – focuses on IT and networking.

All these courses have good career scope. Choose based on your interest in coding, software, hardware, or IT field.

Hope it helps !

Hello Vanshika,

CBSE generally forwards the marksheet for the supplementary exam to the correspondence address as identified in the supplementary exam application form. It is not sent to the address indicated in the main exam form. Addresses that differ will use the supplementary exam address.

Hello

Yes, if you’re not satisfied with your marks even after the improvement exam, many education boards allow you to reappear as a private candidate next year to improve your scores. This means you can register independently, study at your own pace, and take the exams without attending regular classes. It’s a good option to improve your results and open up more opportunities for higher studies or careers. Just make sure to check the specific rules and deadlines of your education board so you don’t miss the registration window. Keep your focus, and you will do better next time.

Hello Aspirant,

Yes, in the case that you appeared for the 2025 improvement exam and your roll number is different from what was on the previous year’s marksheet, the board will usually release a new migration certificate. This is because the migration certificate will reflect the most recent exam details, roll number and passing year. You can apply to get it from your board using the process prescribed by them either online or through your school/college.
