Does CBSE declare a percentage?

No. CBSE publishes subject-wise marks but doesn't declare an aggregate percentage or division. Schools and colleges that need one set their own rule, most often the average of the best five subjects.

How is the best-of-five percentage calculated?

Add the total marks (theory plus internal or practical, out of 100) of your five highest-scoring subjects and divide by five. Some colleges require a language such as English to be one of the five; switch that rule on in the calculator.

How do I work out the theory marks I need?

Choose “Marks I need”, set your target percentage and enter the internal or practical marks you already have. The calculator subtracts them from your target for each subject and shows the theory marks left to score.
