How to Calculate 12th Percentage?

Verified Answer

Calculating 12th percentage is simple, but many students do small mistake here.

Formula: Percentage = Total Marks Obtained/Total Maximum Marks*100

Example:

  • Marks obtained: 425

  • Total marks: 500

Percentage = (425 ÷ 500) × 100 = 85%

Important Tips:

  • Include only main subjects (some boards exclude optional subjects)

  • For CBSE, best of 5 subjects is sometimes used (but not always)

Why It Matters:

  • Used for college admissions

  • Required for courses like BPT, BSc, and some universities

Always double check your subject selection, because wrong calculation can affect admission.
