UP Board 10th Grading System 2025: Calculate CGPA

To calculate Grade Points, the following formula is to be used:

CGPA Formula = Total of grade points obtained in subjects / Total number of subjects.

  • After calculating the grade points of each subject, add all the grade points.
  • Divide the sum of the grade points by the total number of subjects, and the final value thus obtained will be the UP Board Grade Point Average (GPA).

For eg, suppose you secure 8 Grade points in English, 8 in Hindi, 9 in Mathematics, 6 in Science, and 9 in Social Science. So, as per the data, the sum of the grade points i.e. 8+8+9+6+9 = 40. Now, if we divide this sum by the total number of subjects, we get 8 as the GPA, i.e. 40/5 = 8.

So, the Overall GPA is 8, and the grade is B1.

Conversion of GPA to Percentage

You can follow a simple procedure to convert their GPA into percentages. Check out the simple procedure from the pointers given below:
  • To calculate the percentage using the GPA scores, the following formula is to be used:
  • Percentage = GPA X 9.5
  • For eg, Percentage in Above Example = 8 X 9.5 = 76%

UP Board 10th Grading System 2025: Passing Marks Criteria

You are required to score minimum passing marks as set forward by the Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad to be considered a “Pass”.
