CBSE uses a combination of marks and grades on the Class 10 marksheet. This guide explains what each grade means and how grades are assigned.

How Grades Are Assigned

Grades are positional: the board ranks all passed candidates in a subject and divides them into bands. A grade therefore reflects standing among all candidates rather than a fixed mark range.

Reading Your Marksheet

  • Check subject-wise marks and grades against your expectations.
  • Confirm the qualifying status for each subject.
  • Report any discrepancy to your school immediately.
