how to calculate best of four percentage of subjects for admission i. DU . my subjects and marks in 12 were physics 72 chem 65 Biology 69 English 90 and h.sc 85. please calculate it for me and tell me the calculated percentage of 4 for applying in BA Hons prog. ( OBC category ) (change in stream )
Hello Aspirant,
See we need to know in which BA Hons. program, you want to enroll because according to it the best four percentage would be calculated.
So let me make you clear how the Best four marks are calculated for admissions :-
-->> Marks one language and three academic/elective subjects are taken into consideration.
-->> The three academic/elective subject includes -
** One subject in which admission is sought.
** If you don't mention the same subject in your best 4 in which admission is sought then a disadvantage of 2.5% will be applicable, for admissions in Honours programme.
-->> Two academic/ elective subjects from List A* and in case you do not include the two subjects in best 4 from List A* then you will get -2.5% on your total best 4 percentage.
-->> The subjects included in the calculation of ‘Best of Four’ must have at least 70% theory component and in case the criteria does not met then the marks of theory and practical shall be converted into 70% and 30% on pro rata basis.
* For more details and subjects available in the List A kindly check out the link given below :-
Now as you have not mentioned in which BA program you are seeking admission so it is very difficult to tell your best 4 percentage because if you are seeking admission BA hons. in English then best four percentage would be different and if it is in any other then it would differ accordingly. However after reading the process mentioned above you can calculate the best four percentage by yourself.
You can also use DU College predictor tool which will tell you what all colleges you can get based upon your best four percentage :-
I hope this information helps you.
Good Luck!!
