PCM uses subject totals, not an average of the displayed subject percentages.

Methodology

For each selected subject, the calculator validates that obtained marks do not exceed maximum marks. It then uses the combined subject totals rather than averaging already-rounded percentages.

Best-five mode ranks subjects by their individual obtained-to-maximum ratio, then calculates one aggregate from the top five. Custom mode uses only the subjects you explicitly select.

This is an arithmetic tool, not a universal eligibility checker. Continue to the relevant exam page and verify the current bulletin before relying on a subject group.

Sources and verification

Check the authority, cycle and exact document location behind the tool's preset requirements.

No external dataset is used for the arithmetic. Your marks and selected subject group are the complete calculation inputs. Official eligibility rules are intentionally not inferred.

Frequently asked questions

How is board percentage calculated?

The calculator adds the obtained marks for the included subjects, divides that total by the combined maximum marks and multiplies the result by 100.

What is the PCM percentage formula?

PCM percentage uses Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics: total obtained marks in those three subjects divided by their combined maximum marks, multiplied by 100.

What is the PCB percentage formula?

PCB percentage uses Physics, Chemistry and Biology: total obtained marks in those three subjects divided by their combined maximum marks, multiplied by 100.

Does best five always mean the five highest percentages?

Not always. This tool can select the five highest subject percentages for comparison, but an exam, board or university may require specific subjects or a different best-five rule.

Does this result confirm admission eligibility?

No. It confirms the arithmetic for the subjects you included. Eligibility depends on the current official rule for the exam, course, category and institution.
