Students shall check the grades of each subject according to the marks scored. To calculate the overall grade, sum up the grade points and divide them by the total number of subjects.

This is the Cumulative Grading Point Average. Now, to get the percentage, multiply the CGPA by 9.5 for an approximation percentage. After calculation, add all the grade points and divide the grade points with the total number of subjects and the final value obtained by calculation will be the UP board GPA.

Illustration for the Calculation of CGPA

A minimum D grade is required for the candidate to pass the UP board exam. Below is a table on how to calculate the GPA.

Subject	Grades	Grade Points
English	B1	8
Hindi	B2	7
Math	C1	6
Science	B2	7
Social Science	B2	7

Check the calculation below.

Total grade points = 35
GPA = Total of grade points/ Total no. Of subjects ( 5 in this case)
GPA = 35/5 = 7
Overall GPA = 7 , Grade Point = B2
Percentage= 7 × 9.5 = 66.5%
