Marks to Percentage Calculator 2026

To calculate percentage from marks, divide total marks obtained by total maximum marks and multiply by 100. Formula: Percentage = (Marks Obtained ÷ Maximum Marks) × 100. For example, if you scored 428 out of 500, percentage = (428 ÷ 500) × 100 = 85.6%. For multiple subjects, add all marks obtained, add all maximum marks, then apply the same formula.

Most central government jobs require 50–60% aggregate marks in the qualifying degree. SSC CGL, CHSL, and most Railways posts require only a basic graduation without a minimum percentage. IBPS and SBI banking exams generally require 60% aggregate in graduation. PSU recruitment through GATE (BHEL, NTPC, ONGC) requires 60% (6.5 CGPA) in engineering graduation. State government jobs vary by state, typically 45–60% for Group B and C posts.

For CBSE Class 10, percentage is calculated using the best 5 subjects: Percentage = (Total marks in best 5 subjects ÷ 500) × 100. For CBSE Class 12, all 5 main subjects are counted: Percentage = (Total marks in 5 subjects ÷ 500) × 100. If you scored 92, 85, 88, 90, 87 in 5 subjects (442 out of 500), percentage = 88.4%. Practical and internal assessment marks are included within each subject's total.
