Step 2: Find the Total Maximum Marks

Each subject in CBSE exams is usually out of 100 marks.
If you appeared for 5 subjects, then:

Total marks = Sum of all subjects marks (100* 5 = 500 )

For Class 12 students, each subject carries 100 marks. If you appeared for 5 subjects, the total is 500 marks.
