About this tool

The simplest and most used calculation on any marksheet. Enter the marks you scored and the total the paper or semester was out of, and the tool returns the percentage along with the division band commonly applied across Indian universities, so you know whether the result reads as first division, second division or a pass.

How it works

Using the Marks to Percentage Calculator in three steps

Every step below reflects the actual calculation this tool runs, so you can check the result by hand if you need to.

  1. 1

    Enter the marks you scored and the maximum marks the paper or semester was out of.

  2. 2

    The tool divides one by the other and multiplies by a hundred.

  3. 3

    It then places the result in the common division band so you can see whether it reads as first division, second division or a pass.

Percentage from marks

Percentage = (Marks obtained / Maximum marks) x 100
  • First Division is sixty percent and above under the common Indian band.
  • Second Division covers fifty to 59.99 percent and a Pass covers forty to 49.99 percent.
  • Use the aggregate of all semesters when a form asks for the overall degree percentage.

Frequently asked questions

Should I include internal marks?

Yes, if the maximum you enter includes them. The percentage is only correct when the obtained marks and the maximum cover the same components.

Do grace marks count in the percentage?

Grace marks appear in the declared total on your marksheet, so use the final printed figure rather than the raw paper score.

Is the division band the same everywhere?

The sixty and fifty percent bands are the common Indian convention, but AKTU and SPPU publish CGPA based classes of their own, so use the university specific tool for an official class.

Can I total several subjects here?

Yes. Add the marks of every subject together and add their maximums together, then enter both totals for the aggregate percentage.

What if my maximum is not a round number?

Any maximum works. The calculation is a simple ratio, so an eight hundred or a 1050 mark total is handled the same way.
