For calculating the 75% eligibility criteria for JEE mains, Candidates must have 5 subjects in the qualifying exam with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as mandatory subjects. So your percentage would be calculated by taking in account your marks in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics and next two top scoring subjects.
You need to have 75%(65% for ST/SC/OBC) aggregate in 5 subjects including Physics and Mathematics and Chemistry.
