CBSE Class 10 Grading Scheme
CBSE incorporated the Class 10 grading into its evaluation system from 2010. CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) was introduced to bring the students having a small difference in marks into the same band and avoid comparisons. Grading system also helps in eliminating small errors in evaluation from the moderator’s end.
Here’s how the grading goes with marks obtained:
| Mark Obtained | Grade Allotted | Grade Point (GP) Allotted |
| 91-100 | A1 | 10 |
| 81-90 | A2 | 9 |
| 71-80 | B1 | 8 |
| 61-70 | B2 | 7 |
| 51-60 | C1 | 6 |
| 41-50 | C2 | 5 |
| 33-40 | D | 4 |
| 21-32 | E1 | — |
| 00-20 | E2 | — |
While the grading system stands tall today, there were reports of a change in assessment model of Class 10th recently. Everything said and done, it’s worth stating that while CBSE 10th results, or for any other board for that matter, are important, they are not the end of the world. You can always improve your performance in the years to come. You just have to keep giving your best & improving yourself.
How to calculate your CGPA
Though your CGPA is written on the report card, it is easy to calculate it on your own. Here’s how you can do it.
Add your grade points in the main five subjects, and then divide it by 5.
For example, if your grade points for the five main subjects are:
Subject 1: 9; Subject 2: 9; Subject 3: 8; Subject 4: 10; and Subject 5: 9
Step 1: Add the grade points: 9+9+8+10+9 = 45
Step 2: Divide it by 5
45/5 = 9
So, your CGPA is 9.
How to calculate your percentage from your CGPA
In order to convert your overall CGPA into a percentage, multiply it by 9.5.
For example,
In this case 9 (CGPA) is multiplied by 9.5, so 9 x 9.5 = 85.5%
You should know that though both your Class 9 and Class 10 grades are displayed on your report card, only Class 10 grades are used to calculate your CGPA.
