Hello Aspirant, Top 20 percentile of any board is calculated by marks scored in five subjects i.e
Physics
Chemistry
Maths
Language
Any subject other than physics, chemistry, Maths, language
your top 20 percentile will be calculated by taking the marks of
physics,
chemistry,
Maths,
Computer Science,
which subject has higher marks ( English/Bengali) .
If your marks is in top 20 percent students of Bengal board or your percentage is greater than 75% than you are eligible for getting seat in NIT's, IIT's, IIIT's.
If you have any doubts regarding this you can ask in the comment section.
