The announcement will bring an end to weeks of anticipation for lakhs of students across India who appeared for the examinations held earlier this year.

Once announced, the results will be available on multiple official and partner platforms, and students can access their digital marksheets through CBSE’s websites, DigiLocker, the UMANG app, and via SMS services.

How to Calculate CBSE Class 10 and 12 Percentage

Although CBSE does not officially release percentages for Class 10 students and follows a grading system instead, students can calculate their approximate percentage using the following method:

• Add the grade points received in the five main subjects.
• Divide the total by 5 to obtain the CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average).
• Multiply the CGPA by 9.5 to get the estimated percentage.

For Class 12, the percentage is mentioned directly on the marksheet. However, to manually verify:

• Add the total marks obtained in the top five subjects.
• Divide the total by 5 to get the average score.
• This average is the percentage secured.
