Hi Polavarapu,
For calculating the Top 20 percentile in your respective 12th Boards, FIVE subjects are taken into account-
1. Physics
2. Chemistry
3. Mathematics
4. Any Language
5. Any other subject, apart from these four like Computer Science or IP.
The total is calculated out of 500 and then a list is prepared of the Top 20 percentile in all the Boards and the cutoff is different for all the categories.
Hope this helps you.
All the best!!!
