To calculate marks from grades for the India Post GDS Bharti, follow these steps:

Identify the Grade Points: Determine the grade points corresponding to the grades you have received in each subject.

Use the Multiplication Factor: Multiply the grade points by 9.5 to convert them into marks.

Here is the table for reference:

A1: 10 (Grade Point) × 9.5 (Multiplication Factor) = 95 marks
A2: 9 (Grade Point) × 9.5 (Multiplication Factor) = 85.5 marks
B1: 8 (Grade Point) × 9.5 (Multiplication Factor) = 76 marks
B2: 7 (Grade Point) × 9.5 (Multiplication Factor) = 66.5 marks
C1: 6 (Grade Point) × 9.5 (Multiplication Factor) = 57 marks
C2: 5 (Grade Point) × 9.5 (Multiplication Factor) = 47.5 marks
D: 4 (Grade Point) × 9.5 (Multiplication Factor) = 38 marks

Example Calculation

Suppose you have the following grades in your subjects:

Mathematics: A1
Science: B1
English: A2
Social Studies: C1
Language: B2

Here's how you would calculate the marks:

Mathematics (A1): 10 × 9.5 = 95 marks
Science (B1): 8 × 9.5 = 76 marks
English (A2): 9 × 9.5 = 85.5 marks
Social Studies (C1): 6 × 9.5 = 57 marks
Language (B2): 7 × 9.5 = 66.5 marks

Total Marks Calculation
To find the total marks, add the marks for each subject:

95 + 76 + 85.5 + 57 + 66.5 = 380

So, your total marks would be 380.

Summary

Identify the grade points for each grade.
Multiply the grade points by 9.5 to get the marks.
Sum the marks for all subjects to get the total.

This method ensures a standardized way to convert grades to marks for the selection process in the India Post GDS Bharti.
