Hello there,

The 20th percentile cutoff is not calculated individually but is determined based on the total marks of all students who appeared in your HSC board (State Board, CBSE, ICSE, etc.) for that particular year.

Steps to check if you're above the 20th percentile:

1. Find the total marks of your board – Add up the maximum marks for all subjects as per your board's official scheme.
   
   
2. Calculate your total marks – Add up the marks you obtained in all subjects.
   
   
3. Compare with the official 20th percentile cutoff – Each board releases its 20th percentile cutoff marks after results. You need to check the official cutoff released by your board for your category.
   
   What you can do:

• Check last year's 20th percentile cutoff for your board (if available).
  
  
• If your board has not released it yet, you may need to wait for the official cutoff declaration.
  
  
• If you're aiming for eligibility in exams like JEE Advanced, check whether your total marks cross the minimum required percentile once the official cutoff is out.
