cbse.gov.in
Digital Platforms:

Understanding the CBSE Class 10 Grading System
The CBSE follows a comprehensive grading system for Class 10 students, designed to reduce academic stress and provide a holistic evaluation of performance:
Marks Range | Grade | Points for Grades |
91-100 | A1 | 10 |
81-90 | A2 | 9 |
71-80 | B1 | 8 |
61-70 | B2 | 7 |
51-60 | C1 | 6 |
41-50 | C2 | 5 |
31-40 | D | 4 |
21-30 | E1 | - |
0-20 | E2 | - |
Students need to score a minimum of 33% marks in each subject to pass. The grading system helps in assessing students' performance without creating unhealthy competition. It's important to note that CBSE has discontinued the practice of releasing toppers' lists to discourage excessive competition among students and promote a healthier approach to learning and assessment.
No Toppers List This Year: CBSE's Progressive Approach
Continuing its progressive approach toward student welfare, CBSE will not release the Class 10 Toppers List for 2025. This decision was taken by the board to discourage unhealthy competition among students and reduce academic pressure. A board official confirmed that the practice of publishing toppers' lists was discontinued to focus on holistic education rather than just marks-based achievements.
