If marks of Board Exam are not available, the marks given by the Institute and approved by the concerned Board will be taken into account for calculation of percentage of marks. In case, marks are not awarded but grade points (GP) are awarded, GP is to be converted into marks on the 100-point scale. If letter grades with range of marks for the letter grades are given, then the mid value of the range of a particular letter grade will be considered for determination of the percentage of marks. Marks obtained in Environmental Studies will be considered for merit point only if such subject (i.e., Environmental Study) is compulsory elective or optional elective. In case of CBSE and ISC (12 standard), consider best 5 subjects and find the aggregate marks. If only one language is available, it is doubled to calculate the aggregate marks. In that case, put the marks obtained in First Language also in the column specified for Second Language.
