What is the meaning of the overall grade in twelfth and how does it relate to my bachelor's percentage?
27 Aug 2026 · Answered by Yasika Choudhary · 1 min read
Your overall grade in twelfth (like your 93%) is your percentage score out of 100 in your 12th board exams, reflecting your academic performance at the school level.
Your bachelor's percentage or CGPA (such as 8.1/10) shows your cumulative university performance over all years of your undergraduate degree.
Both scores highlight your academic achievements at different stages. For international admissions, universities usually focus more on your bachelor's CGPA but may also consider your 12th grade percentage for a complete academic profile.
