Note: CGPA is not same as the percentage. There is a different process to calculate the percentage.

How to calculate percentage from CGPA for class 10:

Multiply overall CGPA by 9.5
i.e. 7.8* 9.5 = 74.1%

For subject wise percentage, multiply grade points received in each subject with 9.5.

While the CGPA is mentioned in the result, there is a little calculation if you want to calculate it on your own.

How to calculate CGPA for class 10:

Step 1: Add grade points
To calculate the CGPA, add the grades received in 5 subjects.

For ex:
Grade points for 5 subjects are: Subject 1: 7, subject 2: 8, subject 3: 9, subject 4: 8, subject 5: 7
Add them: 7+8+9+8+7 = 39

Step 2: Divide the sum by 5 i.e. 39/5 = 7.8

There fore, Overall CGPA is 7.8

Even though grades for IX and X are visible in the separate boxes in the result, they are not combined for CGPA.
