NEW DELHI: The results for the CBSE class X exam will be declared on May 28 at 10am. This year, 9,02,517 students — the highest so far — appeared for the exam out of which 2,47,291 were from the Delhi region. The figure is likely to go down as class X exams become optional from 2011.

While the students will not be marked this year, they will get grade points (GP) and a cumulative grade point average (CGPA). The marks for individual subjects or the total marks will not be given. For every subject, the students will obtain a corresponding grade on the basis of which they will receive a cumulative grade point average.

The top grade ‘A1’ will be given to those scoring between 91 and 100 marks in a subject. The last passing grade — ‘D’ — will be for a score between 33 and 40. The students would get a corresponding GP to figure out an average for admission purpose. For example, ‘A1’ grade fetches 10GP, while ‘A2’ gets 9GP. So if a student gets 10GP in science, 9GP in mathematics and 8GP in English, the average GP for admission in science stream would be 9GP (10+9+8=27/3=9).

For those who do want to know their marks, CBSE has come up with a formula. It gives an indicative equivalence of the percentage of marks as against the scored GP. In order to get subject-wise indicative percentage of marks students can use the formula: ‘9.5 X GP of the subject’ , while for the overall indicative percentage the students can use: ‘9.5 X CGPA’ . CGPA is the average of GPs obtained in all subjects, excluding the additional sixth subject.

Students can access class X results on internet on CBSE’s official sites — w w w. re s u l t s. n i c. i n , www.cbseresults.nic.in and www.cbse.nic.in. The results can also be accessed using the interactive voice response system (IVRS) or SMS.
