The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced the results for the 2025 examinations, which students can access through the official website, cbse.gov.in, and DigiLocker. A common confusion arises as CBSE does not provide overall aggregate marks. To calculate the Class 10 percentage, students must sum their marks from any five subjects and divide by the total possible marks, which is 500. For instance, if a student scores 85 in English, 75 in Hindi, 90 in Maths, 95 in Science, and 88 in Social Science, the total marks would be 433. By dividing 433 by 5, the student would achieve an aggregate percentage of 86.6%. Additionally, while students can calculate their percentage for personal reference, the official mark sheet employs a Relative Grading system, meaning grades are assigned based on performance relative to peers in the same subject.
