The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has released the CBSE 10th and 12th result on May 13, 2025. The CBSE marksheet includes candidates’ Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) and grade, however, it does not include their percentage. Hence, after the announcement of the CBSE result, students often look for ways to calculate their CBSE percentage. In this article, we have provided ways through which they can calculate their CBSE percentage.

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

The Central Board of Secondary Education follows a 9-point grading system. Below, we have provided CBSE 10th, 12th grading system for students' reference.

Have a question related to CBSE Class 12th ?
how may marks should i get in my 12th board exams to get fee concesion in sastra university

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.

I gave my 12th exam this year in which I got less marks. Then I gave improvement exam in which also I could not score full marks. So can I become a private candidate and appear for the exam again next year or not?

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.

i gave improvement 2025 as the roll no is different from my previous year marksheet so will i get new migration certificate

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.
