How the best-of-five percentage works
Many colleges and admission portals calculate your percentage from your five best subjects. The calculator sorts your marks, takes the top five, and divides by 500.
Percentage = sum of best five marks ÷ 500 × 100
Some colleges insist that English or a language is one of the five. Read the admission notice: if it says "English + best four", include English even if it is not in your top five.
