The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) follows a specific method to calculate the Class 10th percentage based on marks obtained in different subjects. Understanding the calculation method helps students assess their performance accurately.
CBSE Class 10th Percentage Calculation Formula
The percentage is calculated using the following formula:Percentage=(Total Marks Obtained in All SubjectsTotal Maximum Marks)×100\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Total Marks Obtained in All Subjects}}{\text{Total Maximum Marks}} \right) \times 100Percentage=(Total Maximum MarksTotal Marks Obtained in All Subjects)×100
Step-by-Step Calculation of Class 10th Percentage
- Check Subject-wise Marks
- CBSE Class 10th students appear for five main subjects (English, Mathematics, Science, Social Science, and one optional subject).
- The total maximum marks for each subject are 100 (80 marks for theory + 20 marks for internal assessment in most subjects).
- Sum of Marks Obtained
- Add the marks obtained in all five main subjects.
- Divide by the Total Maximum Marks
- The maximum marks for five subjects are 500 (if each subject is out of 100).
- If a student has marks like 80, 85, 90, 88, and 92, the total would be 435.
- Apply the Percentage Formula(435500)×100=87%\left( \frac{435}{500} \right) \times 100 = 87\%(500435)×100=87%
- The student’s final percentage will be 87%.
Alternative Method: Best of Five Percentage Calculation
In some cases, students prefer the best of five method, where the lowest-scoring subject (except compulsory ones) is excluded. The percentage is then calculated based on the top five subjects.
