In the Education section of University of Mumbai UG application, do I enter total of all marks or best 5? I had an additional 6th subject in class 12th.
The percentage criteria by CBSE is "the marks of that additional subject are considered in which one scores higher".
The CBSE board has a best of five rule in which your main percentage is decided by one language subject i.e, English and other 4 subjects in which you get high scores. And the remaining subjects becomes additional whose marks won't be added to your main percentage.
The subject you would score lowest will automatically excluded . So, if you score higher marks in Physical Education than any of your subject other than English then it would automatically replace the lowest scoring subject .
So, your percentage should calculated by adding marks of English(Mandatory) , Physics , Chemistry, Biology and Physical Education.And From these one subject can be excluded which has lowest score
Feel free to ask if you have any more queries
All the best!!
However, I am applying for BMS and the additional subject is commercial art. I was skeptical if Commercial art could replace my least scoring subject Mathematics? As Maths seems important for BMS
It is Not mandatory of studying mathematics and qualifying exam to apply for BMM/BMS entrance test.But question from the maths subject will be asked.
It means,you must know the basics of maths
If you have any more queries,feel free to ask
Thank you & ALL THE BEST!!
