1. What Is The CBSE Class 10 Percentage Calculation?

The CBSE Class 10 percentage is calculated using the formula: Percentage (%) = (Sum of Marks in Theory + Practical) / 500 × 100. This method is officially recognized by the Central Board of Secondary Education for determining student performance.

2. How Does The Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the CBSE percentage formula:

\[ \text{Percentage (\%)} = \frac{\text{Sum of Marks in Theory + Practical}}{500} \times 100 \]

Where:

\( \text{Theory Marks} \) — Marks obtained in theory examinations (out of 100)
\( \text{Practical Marks} \) — Marks obtained in practical examinations (out of 100)
\( 500 \) — Total maximum marks (5 subjects × 100 marks each)

Explanation: The formula calculates the percentage based on the total marks obtained across all subjects divided by the maximum possible marks (500), then multiplied by 100 to get the percentage.

3. Importance Of Percentage Calculation

Details: Accurate percentage calculation is crucial for academic evaluation, college admissions, scholarship eligibility, and overall academic performance assessment in the CBSE system.

4. Using The Calculator

Tips: Enter theory and practical marks for each subject. All values must be valid numbers between 0-100. The calculator will automatically compute the total percentage.
