CBSE 10th result 2017, how to calculate CGPA:
To calculate the CGPA among the best four or five subjects, add the grade points for the subjects and divide it by the number of subjects included in the summation.
For example, if you scored 9, 9, 8, 7 and 10 GPA in five subjects, you add these (9+9+8+7+10= 43) and divide them by the number of subjects (43/5). In this instance your CGPA is 8.6.
CBSE 10th result 2017, how to calculate percentage out of CGPA:
To get the your overall percentage, you take your CGPA and multiply it by 9.5.
As illustrated in the above example, your percentage would be 8.6 x 9.5, which is 81.7 per cent.
