What is the computing procedure for the calculation of SSC/10th/Equivalent examination and HSC/12th/Equivalent/Diploma examination for entering the JAP 2026 Application Form?

For computing the percentage of marks obtained in the SSC/10th/Equivalent examination and HSC/12th/Equivalent/Diploma examination, the total marks of all subjects that appear in the mark sheet/grade sheet should be considered for the overall percentage calculation, irrespective of the respective board's regulation (specified in the CAT 2025 application as well).

Maximum Marks (inclusive of all subjects) indicates the summation of maximum marks of all subjects (including electives, if any). For example, if there are five subjects with 100 marks assigned to each subject, the candidate should populate the 'Maximum Marks (inclusive of all subjects)' placeholder as 500. Total marks obtained (inclusive of all subjects) indicate the summation of actual marks obtained by the candidate in all subjects (including electives, if any). For example, if the candidate has obtained 450 marks by adding individual marks obtained in the five subjects, the candidate should populate the 'Total marks obtained (inclusive of all subjects)' placeholder as 450.

Example A: If Maximum Marks = 600. Total Marks Obtained = 481, then Aggregate Percentage = 80.16666. This needs to be rounded down to 80.16.

Example B: If Maximum Marks = 600. Total Marks Obtained = 455, then Aggregate Percentage = 75.83333. This needs to be rounded down to 75.83.

What is the computing procedure for the marks obtained in the Graduation and Post-Graduation?

For Graduation and Post-Graduation, the aggregate percentage of marks awarded by the Institute/University will be treated as final. If the Institute/University does not award the aggregate percentage of marks, it will be calculated based on the marks obtained in all subjects listed in the mark sheet, including all years/semesters.

If any Institute/University awards only letter grades or CGPA without providing an equivalent percentage of marks on the grade sheet, the candidate should obtain a certificate from the Institute/University specifying the equivalent marks or the conversion procedure, and the conversion from CGPA to percentage of marks would be based on this procedure, as certified by the respective University/Institution.

If any University/Institution confirms that there is no scheme for converting CGPA into equivalent marks, the equivalence would be established by dividing the candidate's CGPA by the maximum possible CGPA and multiplying the result by 100.

If you are pursuing the Bachelor's Degree, kindly enter the aggregate percentage of marks obtained for the years/semesters of the degree course completed to date.

I have completed dual Bachelor's degree courses (B.Com + B. Ed or BBA + LLB or any similar Degree in combination). How do I enter my marks for two Bachelor's degrees?
