How to calculate CAGP into percentage in jkbose

I FOUND IT NECESSITY OF TIME TO POST THIS ARTICLE AS THE RESULT OF RECENT 10TH CLASS WAS DECLEARED IN GRADE POINTS ONLY. BELOW I'M GIVING THE WAY TO CALCULATE CGPA INTO PERCENTAGE What is the full form of CGPA ? CGPA stands for Cumulative Grade Point Average. What exactly is CGPA? It is the average of Grade Points obtained in all the subjects excluding additional 6th subject as per Scheme of Studies. How to calculate percentage from CGPA ? Multiply the CGPA with 9.5 to get the overall indicative percentage. eg if your cgpa is 9.4 your PERCENTAGE will be 9.4 × 9.5 ~  89.3 Why multiply with 9.5 only ? The Board took the result of the last five years and calculated the average marks of all candidates who had scored between 91 and 100. That average turned out to be close to 95 marks. Since the equivalent Grade Point for the 91-100 band (A1 grade) of marks is 10, it then divided the average result of 95 by 10. The result is 9.5. Instructions An indicative equivalence o...

The Brook (By Lord Tennyson)

Image
The Brook I come from haunts of coot and hern; I make a sudden sally And sparkle out among the fern, To bicker down a valley. By thirty hills I hurry down, Or slip between the ridges, By twenty thorpes, a little town, And half a hundred bridges. Till last by Philip's farm, I flow To join the brimming river, For men may come and men may go, But I go on forever. I chatter over stony ways, In little sharps and trebles, I bubble into eddying bays, I babble on the pebbles. With many a curve my banks I fret By many a field and fallow, And many a fairy foreland set With willow-weed and mallow. I chatter, chatter, as I flow To join the brimming river, For men may come and men may go, But I go on forever. I wind about, and in and out, With here a blossom sailing, And here and there a lusty trout, And here and there a grayling, And here and there a foamy flake ...
