How Bihar Board Grading Works
Grade Calculation
BSEB assigns letter grades based on overall percentage: A1 (91-100%), A2 (81-90%), B1 (71-80%), B2 (61-70%), C1 (51-60%), C2 (41-50%), D (33-40%), E/F below 33%. These are calculated on the best five subjects (including any additional subject if it improves the average).
Division System
First Division: 60% and above. Second Division: 45% to 59.99%. Third Division: 33% to 44.99%. Fail: below 33%. Division is calculated on the total marks in all five compulsory subjects — the additional subject does not affect division determination.
CGPA Conversion
CGPA = Overall Percentage / 9.5. This formula aligns with CBSE standards, making Bihar Board scores portable for central university admissions. A CGPA of 7.5 is equivalent to 71.25%, while 9.0 CGPA equals 85.5%.

How is CGPA calculated for Bihar Board results?
Bihar Board uses a simple CGPA formula: CGPA = Percentage / 9.5. For example, a student scoring 75% has CGPA = 75/9.5 = 7.89. This is the same method recommended by CBSE. To convert CGPA back to percentage, multiply CGPA × 9.5. A CGPA of 10 corresponds to 95% and above.
What is the minimum pass mark in Bihar Board Class 12?
Students must score minimum 33 marks in each subject (out of 100) AND 33% aggregate across all subjects to pass Bihar Board Class 12. Theory and practical marks are combined to determine the subject total. If a student fails in 1-2 subjects, they can appear in the Compartmental Examination (usually held in July). Failing 3+ subjects requires repeating the full year.
Can the "best five" subjects rule be applied in Bihar Board?
Bihar Board does allow students with an additional 6th subject to have their percentage calculated on the best 5 subjects (excluding the lowest scoring subject from the five mandatory ones). However, this only applies when the additional/elective subject is lower-scoring. The minimum 5 compulsory subjects must all be passed individually regardless of the best-five calculation.
