CBSE Grading System 2022: The Central Board Of Secondary Education (CBSE) has started a grading system for the students of class 10 & 12 from the academic year of 2009 to 2010.
So your result will be awarded on a 5 alphabetical grading system that is from Grade A to Grade E. The CBSE grading system is based on the 2 parameters :
Absolute
Percentile Marks.
Also, these parameters will differ based on the subject. So under the new CBSE marking system, no cumulative grade is awarded, only subject-wise grades are awarded to the student.
CBSE grades awarding to Class 10 and Class 12 are as below.
Grade | Qualification |
A1 | Top 1/8th of the passed candidates |
A2 | Next 1/8th of the passed candidates |
B1 | Next 1/8th of the passed candidates |
B2 | Next 1/8th of the passed candidates |
C1 | Next 1/8th of the passed candidates |
C2 | Next 1/8th of the passed candidates |
D1 | Next 1/8th of the passed candidates |
D2 | Next 1/8th of the passed candidates |
E | Failed Candidates |
CBSE Grading System 2022 (Class 10)
The new grading system will have a five-point scale, in which students will be awarded grades from A to E. This grading system was implemented to eliminate the schools from showing the numerical scores on the report card of each student in order to eliminate the unhealthy comparisons among students.
The nine-point grading system employed to measure the scholastic achievements of students are given in the below table.
Mark Range | Grade | Grade Point |
91 - 100 | A1 | 10.0 |
81 - 90 | A2 | 9.0 |
71 - 80 | B1 | 8.0 |
61 - 70 | B2 | 7.0 |
51 - 60 | C1 | 6.0 |
41 - 50 | C2 | 5.0 |
33 - 40 | D | 4.0 |
21 - 32 | E1 | Fail |
00 - 20 | E2 | Fail |
Apart from this, a student is provided with CGPA which stands for cumulative grade point assessment which defines the average of grade points in all main subjects.
CGPA = Sum of Grade points obtained in 5 main subjects/5
i.e. if the grades obtained by a students in main subjects are given below -
Sub Grade Grade Point
Subject 1 A2 9.0
Subject 2 B2 7.0
Subject 3 C1 6.0
Subject 4 B2 7.0
Subject 5 A1 10.0
Then, CGPA is calculated as -
CGPA = Total Grade / No of Subject
= 39 / 5
= 7.8
CGPA is the statement of subject-wise performance in the certificate of a continuous and comprehensive evaluation that is in class 10 and class 12 certificate.
CBSE Grading System 2022 (Class 12)
CBSE grading system class 12 is the new system of grading introduced with the aim of reducing the classification of the students on the basis of their marks and competition among the toppers. This grading system for class 12 is also calculated on the 9-point grading system as that of class 10.
CBSE new grading system for the scholastic achievements are tabulated below:
Marks Range | Grade | Grade Point |

Key Points (CBSE Grading System)
You can see numerical scores in the assessment of theory/practical papers in external subjects. The CBSE Board will also indicate grades in the marks sheets in addition to numerical scores in subjects of external examinations. Grades will be shown only in internal assessment subjects.
Five types of grading are available to show the result, i.e. A, B, C, D & E.
You have to score a minimum of 33% marks to qualify for the exam.
In Senior School Certificate Examination, in a subject involving practical work, you have to obtain 33% marks in theory and 33% marks in the practical separately.
How to calculate percentage from CGPA?
Students can also calculate the subject wise indicative percentage of marks. They just have to multiply Grade points of a subject with 9.5. Say if in a subject a students has got grade point 7 then the average percentage on the subject will be 7 x 9.5 = 66.5
