What is Percentage?

Percentage is a way of expressing marks obtained as a fraction of 100. It is one of the most commonly used methods to evaluate academic performance in schools, colleges and competitive exams.

Many institutions use percentage to determine grades, eligibility for higher education, scholarships and job applications, making it an important metric for students to track.

Formula

Percentage = (Marks Obtained ÷ Total Marks) × 100

Equivalent GPA (on a 10-point scale) = Percentage ÷ 9.5

Example

Marks Obtained = 425

Total Marks = 500

Percentage = (425 ÷ 500) × 100

Percentage = 85%

Predicted Grade = A

Equivalent GPA = 85 ÷ 9.5 ≈ 8.95

Grade Scale

90% and above = A+

80% to below 90% = A

70% to below 80% = B+

60% to below 70% = B

50% to below 60% = C

40% to below 50% = D

Below 40% = F (Fail)
