Frequently Asked Questions

How to calculate marks percentage? +
Formula: Percentage = (Total Marks Obtained / Total Maximum Marks) × 100. For example, if you scored 425 out of 500: (425/500) × 100 = 85%. Add up marks from all subjects, then divide by total maximum marks, multiply by 100.
What is the passing percentage in India? +
Most Indian boards (CBSE, ICSE, State Boards) require 33% as passing marks. Some universities require 35-40%. Engineering colleges typically require 50% in qualifying exam. Government job exams have varying cutoffs (40-65%) depending on category and post.
Best 5 subjects rule (CBSE) +
CBSE Class 12: For college admissions, many universities consider "best 4" or "best 5" subjects (English + 3 best/4 best others). Delhi University uses best 4. Always check specific university requirements as some count specific subjects mandatorily.
Grade classification by percentage +
Standard Indian grading: 90%+ = Outstanding (A1/O), 75-89% = Distinction (A2/A), 60-74% = First Class (B), 50-59% = Second Class (C), 40-49% = Third Class/Pass (D), Below 33% = Fail (F).
Marks vs CGPA - which to mention? +
Mention BOTH on your resume! If your university gives CGPA, write: "CGPA: 8.5 / 10 (85% as per university norms)" or "CGPA: 8.5 (Equivalent to 80.75% by CBSE formula)". This avoids confusion for recruiters.
