CBSE Grading System 2023 for Class 10th and 12th

CBSE Grading System 2023: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has implemented a new grading system. According to the new CBSE grading system, students must receive passing grades in all subjects to progress to the next class. As per the latest update, CBSE has declared the class 12th 2023 results. Candidates must have sound knowledge of the grading system to be able to calculate their marks.

The CBSE grading system for classes 10 and 12 will assign grades to students rather than showing their pass or fail status. Implementing the new CBSE grading system would relieve some of the strain on the students because there will now be numerous tests covering various topics instead of just one final exam at the end of the year.

• Regarding subjects where the total number of candidates passing is less than 500, the grading would be adopted from other similar subjects.

CBSE Passing Criteria

The CBSE grading system is based on a five-point scale, from grades A to E, ensuring that the raw scores are no longer shown. CBSE used the Continuous Comprehensive Assessment (CCA) for classes 9th and 10th, a ten-point assessment scale. The CBSE passing criteria is as follows:

• CBSE has dropped the "pass" and "fail" terms from the 10th and 12th mark sheets.
• In the external examinations, the grades will be determined from the scores.
• For internal assessments, the grades will be awarded by the school.
• The passing mark for each external assessment is 33%.
• To qualify for a subject requiring practical work, students must score 33 percent in theory and 33% in practical separately.

CBSE awards numerical scores for both theory and practical papers by the grading system. Candidates can calculate the total sum and divide by 5 to calculate the CBSE class 12 percentage.

• Students can use the formula - Subject wise percentage = Grade point (GP) obtained by the student x 9.5 to calculate the percentage.
