CBSE had introduced the grading system which is similar to the grading system of Cambridge International Exam. The system is called the nine-point grading system and includes 9 pointers to reflect a candidate’s performance.
This was mainly introduced to categorize students according to their grades. It is often considered that if a student gets 85% marks, he is equally competitive and scholastic to a student scoring 90% marks.
The CBSE grading system for class 9 is given below in the table.
| Marks | Grade Points | Grade |
| 91 to 100 | 10 | A1 |
| 81-90 | 9 | A2 |
| 71 to 80 | 8 | B1 |
| 61 to 70 | 7 | B2 |
| 51 to 60 | 6 | C1 |
| 41 to 50 | 5 | C2 |
| 33 to 40 | 4 | D |
| 21 to 32 | 0 | E1 |
| < 20 | 0 | E2 |
Apart from this, every student is provided with a CGPA i.e. Cumulative Grade Point Average which reflects the subject-wise performance. CGPA can be defined as the average of grade points in all main subjects.
So, CGPA = Sum of Grade Points Obtained (in 5 main subjects)/ 5
Students can also multiply 9.5 with their respective CGPA to get their respective percentages.
