From the academic year 2009-10, the Central Board Of Secondary Education (CBSE) has started a grading system for the students of Class-10 and Class-12.

Grading System of CBSE Class 10

The Cumulative Grade Point Average, or CGPA, is a method to determine the students’ overall academic performance in a year. It is the average of all the grade points a student has gained in all his classes. It excludes extracurricular activities. It is a very simple method. To calculate the percentage of your CBSE Class 10 board marks, you need to follow the given below steps:

Add the grade points of all main subjects.

Step - 1

Divide this sum by five. 

Step - 2

Now, multiply the results of step 2 by 9.5. You will get the percentage. 

Step - 3

For example, Suppose, the marks obtained in five main subjects are as follows: – Subject 1 = 9.2  – Subject 2 = 8.9 – Subject 3 = 9.5 – Subject 4 = 8.0 – Subject 5 =8.7

Now, the sum of all GPs = 44.3 Therefore, its CGPA will be (44.3)/5 = 8.86 Hence, CGPA to percentage = 8.86 * 9.5 = 84.17%
