CBSE 12th Result 2026 Grading System
CBSE follows a grading system for Class 12th results where students are awarded grades from A1 to E based on their performance. A1 grade is awarded to the top 1/8th of the passed candidates, A2 to the next 1/8th, B1 to the next 1/8th, and so on. The grade points range from 10 (A1) to 1 (E). Students can calculate their CGPA by adding the grade points of all five subjects and dividing by 5. The CBSE grading system helps in reducing unhealthy competition among students while still providing a fair assessment of their academic performance.

The compartment examination result is usually declared in August 2026. Students need to apply for the compartment examination through their respective schools or directly on the CBSE website within the specified deadline.
