Key facts

  • Percentage = total marks ÷ total maximum × 100.
  • Best of 5 picks your five highest subjects by percentage, then averages them.
  • Colleges differ: some use all subjects, many use best five, some use best four — read the admission notice.
  • Some admissions require a specific subject (often a language) inside the best five.
  • Subjects with different maximum marks are handled correctly — enter "out of" for each.

Worked example

Six subjects out of 100: 92, 88, 85, 79, 76, 64

Best 5: (92+88+85+79+76) ÷ 500 = 84.0%

All six: 484 ÷ 600 = 80.7%.

FAQs

Does my board publish an official percentage?

Check your marksheet. Where it doesn't, the admitting college's rule (all subjects, best five or best four) decides.

Are practical marks included?

Usually the subject total (theory + practical) is used. Enter the total and its maximum.

Can I include an additional (6th) subject?

Enter it — best of 5 will use it only if it's among your top five.
