Understanding the 9.5 Formula

For the 2024-25 academic session, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) maintains the 9.5 multiplier to convert CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) into a percentage. This multiplier was derived by analyzing the mean of the marks within specific grade brackets.

While individual subjects are graded on a scale of 0 to 10, the final percentage is often required for college admissions, scholarship applications, and competitive exam registrations.
