About the Grade Calculator
What is the Grade Calculator?
Different systems turn the same marks into different grades. This grade calculator converts a percentage under CBSE school grading, the UGC-style university 10-point scale or US letter grades.
It also shows the grade point and whether the score passes.
How to use the Grade Calculator
- Percentage (%) (sample: 78)
- Grading System (sample: University 10-point (O, A+, A … F))
- Press Find My Grade (results also refresh as you type). The result card shows the Grade, along with Grade point, Result and Note.
Formula used
Grade = band containing your percentage
- University (UGC) = O ≥ 90, A+ ≥ 80, A ≥ 70, B+ ≥ 60, B ≥ 55, C ≥ 50, P ≥ 40
- US = A ≥ 93, A- ≥ 90, B+ ≥ 87 … F below 60
Pass marks: 33% for CBSE, commonly 40% for universities and 60% in US schools.
Worked example

UGC 10-point grades
| Letter grade | Grade point (10-point) | Typical marks |
|---|---|---|
| O (Outstanding) | 10 | 90–100 |
| A+ (Excellent) | 9 | 80–89 |
| A (Very good) | 8 | 70–79 |
| B+ (Good) | 7 | 60–69 |
| B (Above average) | 6 | 55–59 |
| C (Average) | 5 | 50–54 |
| P (Pass) | 4 | 40–49 |
| F (Fail) | 0 | Below 40 |
UGC's choice-based credit system uses these letter grades; the marks bands vary between universities.
Tips for using the Grade Calculator
- Relative grading on a curve can differ from these absolute bands.
- Check your institution's handbook for the official scale.
