Conversion of Grade Points to Percentage for Kerala SSLC 2025

After KBPE declares the Kerala SSLC 2025 Result, students can convert the grade points awarded to them to percentages. After calculating the percentage correctly, the performance of the candidate is identified by different Educational institutes, which follow the Percentage pattern.

To calculate the percentage from the grade points secured in the Kerala SSLC Result, Students can follow the steps given below:

  • Add the grade points secured in each subject. This sum is known as the TGP (Total Grade Point).
  • And then multiply the sum by 1.11
  • So, Percentage =  TGP * 1.11 or TGP* (100/90)

For a better understanding of Grading Calculation Please refer to the table given below:

For eg. Suppose a student scores the following grades in the Kerala SSLC Board exams

Subjects Grade Grade Point
Chemistry A+ 9
Political Science B 6
Physics A 8
Hindi A+ 9
Malayalam C 4
Social Science B 6
Psychology B+ 7
Malayalam 11 B 6
Biology D+ 3
IT A 8

Now, the Grade points scored by the student need to be added up:

9+6+8+9+4+6+7+6+3+8 = 66

This 64 is known as the TGP i.e Total Grade Point

So, Finally to calculate the percentage using this TGP, Multiply it by 1.11 i.e.

Percentage =  64 * 1.11 = 71.04%

So, the percentage scored by the candidate is 71.04% which is equivalent to 64 TGP.

How to Calculate Kerala SSLC Grade to Percentage?

Through the Kerala SSLC Grade to Percentage Calculator, students can easily convert their grades into percentages. By this, they can get their overall performance. The Kerala SSLC grading system is a nine-point grading system, where each grade defines a specific range of marks.

For instance, if a student obtains a grade of A+, it means he/ she has received marks between 90% and 100%. Now to take out the overall percentage, one will have to take the total marks obtained in all subjects divide the result by the total maximum marks, and then multiply by 100. For example, if a student gets 450 out of 640, his/ her percentage would be (450/ 640) x 100 = 70.31%.
