1) Percentage

In order to qualify CBSE Board Exams 2020 i.e. CBSE 10^th Board Exams 2020 and CBSE 12^th Board Exams 2020, a student is required to score 33 marks per subject. Calculation of these marks may vary with the different subjects based on factors such as internals, practicals and theory exams. Even in internal exams, a student is supposed to score 30 marks in order to pass the subject. For example, a student appearing in the Chemistry exam need to score 33 percent in the 70 mark theory paper and 30 marks in the internal exam. The student will, therefore, need to score at least 24 marks in the theory and 10 marks in the internal to clear the CBSE Chemistry paper. The student must score an overall 33 marks in the exams in order to clear the paper.
