How to Calculate Percentage of Class 10 CBSE with 6 Subjects?

Answer:
While the CBSE board doesn’t officially calculate an overall percentage, here’s how you can do it if needed for further studies or employment:

To calculate the percentage for CBSE Class 10 with 6 subjects, follow these steps:

1. Add up the marks obtained in all 6 subjects.
2. Divide the total marks obtained by the maximum possible marks.
3. Multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage.

The formula is:

Percentage = (Total marks obtained / Total maximum marks) × 100

Typically, each subject in CBSE Class 10 is out of 100 marks. So, for 6 subjects:

Total maximum marks = 6 × 100 = 600

Let’s say a student got these marks: Subject 1: 85 Subject 2: 92 Subject 3: 78 Subject 4: 88 Subject 5: 95 Subject 6: 82

Total marks obtained = 85 + 92 + 78 + 88 + 95 + 82 = 520

Percentage = (520 / 600) × 100 = 86.67%

Important Note:

– Best 5 Subjects: Many institutions consider only the best 5 subjects for admission. Check their specific requirements.
– Official Policy: CBSE doesn’t calculate or declare percentages. This calculation is for situations where external institutions require it. Always confirm their specific criteria. Here is the screenshot of CBSE notification:
