Simple Marks to Percentage
For CBSE, ICSE, State Boards, and College Exams.
Calculating your exam percentage shouldn't be complicated. Whether you are a student in CBSE Class 10/12, appearing for university semesters, or just need to know where you stand, this Marks Percentage Calculator does the math instantly. It handles variable subject totals (e.g., 70 for theory, 30 for practical) and provides your final aggregate percentage and CGPA.
Percentage %
The universal standard. We sum your Obtained Marks and divide by the Total Maximum Marks to get your exact percentage. Perfect for "Best of 5" calculations.
CGPA (10.0 Scale)
Widely used in Indian education (CBSE/Colleges). We calculate your performance on a 10-point scale. Useful for converting semester SGPA to overall CGPA.
How to Calculate Percentage
Example: If you scored 450 marks out of a total possible 500 marks.
Calculation: 450 ÷ 500 = 0.9
Result: 0.9 × 100 = 90%
Common Questions
How to calculate percentage of 6 subjects out of 5?
If your board (like CBSE) considers the 'Best of 5' rule, simply add only the 5 subjects with the highest marks in our calculator. Set the 'Set All Totals' to 100 (or your exam max) and remove the 6th subject.
How to convert CGPA to Percentage?
For CBSE Class 10, the standard multiplier is 9.5. Formula: CGPA × 9.5 = Percentage. Example: 8.0 CGPA × 9.5 = 76%. For other universities (like Mumbai/Pune), the multiplier might be 7.14 or 10. Check your mark sheet reverse side.
What is the difference between Percentage and Percentile?
Percentage is your absolute score (what you answered correctly). Percentile is your rank compared to others (e.g., 90th percentile means you scored better than 90% of students). This calculator shows Percentage.
Can I use this for Semester SGPA?
Yes. Enter your 'Credit Points Obtained' in the Obtained column and 'Total Credits' in the Total column to get a percentage equivalent, or use the CGPA mode for a 10-point scale result.
Does it work for weighted practicals?
Yes. If your Theory is 70 and Practical is 30, enter them as separate rows or combine them (Obtained: 65, Total: 100). The calculator sums up the numerators and denominators independently for accuracy.
