Academic grading in India is based on a percentage system and they are called GPA or CGPA.
The Indian Certificate of Secondary Education board doesn't and gives only the mark obtained.
State boards may give either or both marks and grades; if grades are given, most grade students linearly (e.g.: A+ for >90, A for 80–90 and B for 65-80)As per board format(100-75-high achiever,40-75-average,10-40-below average and 0-10-fail) Many colleges outside India favour CBSE and ICSE; those colleges either outright disallow students from other boards (e.g.: University of Oxford[1]) or require them to write additional examinations (e.g.: National University of Singapore).
In India, many universities and institutes rank their students in percentage of marks they get from the examinations and credits.
Though there are exceptions to standard system such as MBA Courses,[3] the following table will summarize the grading system and conversions for normal graduation and post graduation in universities and institutes, unless otherwise declared by the institute.
