FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions):  
My board doesn't give aggregate marks for 12th exam. What marks should I enter?

For CBSE, include PCM/PCB and English/Hindi and one additional elective (total five subjects) in your aggregate.

For ISCE, include PCM/PCB and English in the aggregate.

Others should calculate the aggregate marks (or its equivalent) and attach a note explaining the method used by them to calculate the aggregate.
While entering the 12th exam marks, should I include the practical marks also? Can I include 11th and 12th year marks? The subject-wise and aggregate marks are to be given for the 12th year examination only. Don't include the 11th year exam marks. For practical marks, use the method used by your board to calculate the subject-wise marks.
