CBSE Board Results for Classes 10 and 12 Released

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has officially announced the results for both Class 10 and Class 12 students. For Class 10, the board utilizes a grading system represented by the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA), while Class 12 results are displayed in numerical marks.


Understanding CGPA and Its Conversion

The CGPA system is designed to evaluate the academic performance of Class 10 students without showing exact marks. This approach aims to reduce academic pressure and promote a holistic assessment of students' capabilities.


How to Convert CGPA to Percentage for Class 10

Students can easily convert their CGPA into a percentage using the following formula:


Percentage (%) = CGPA × 9.5


For instance, if a student has achieved a CGPA of 8, the percentage can be calculated as follows:


Percentage (%) = 8.0 × 9.5


This calculation results in a percentage of 76%.


The CGPA system simplifies the grading process and encourages a balanced approach to learning.


Calculating Percentage for Class 12

In Class 12, CBSE provides individual marks for each subject. To determine the overall percentage, students should follow these steps:



Step 1: Sum the marks of all main subjects (usually five).
Step 2: Divide the total marks by the number of subjects.


For example, consider the following subject marks (out of 100):



  • English: 90

  • Physics: 80

  • Chemistry: 80

  • Maths: 90

  • Computer Science: 90
    Total: 430
    Percentage = 430 / 5 = 86%


As the CBSE Result 2025 approaches, understanding how to convert CGPA to percentage or calculate the overall percentage is crucial for admissions and documentation. Always refer to the official CBSE formula for accurate conversions and keep copies of your results for future reference.
