I am having English, PCM and Bengali as subjects. I don't have any additional subject. Will I face any issue during IIT admission as it is mentioned "if a candidate has taken more than one language, then language with higher marks will be consider"? What will they consider as my 5th subject?

Dear Aspirant

You don't need to worry even if you are having two languages as your subjects other than PCM. As long as you are having 75% aggregate in PCM, English and Bengali you won't face any problem.

The 5 subjects which are considered for calculating aggregate are:

Physics

Chemistry

Maths

Language

Any subject other than the above four

Hope this helps.
