1. What is ICSE Percentage Calculation?

The ICSE (Indian Certificate of Secondary Education) board calculates the percentage based on the best five subjects out of six (including English) with each subject marked out of 100. English marks are compulsory for percentage calculation.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the ICSE percentage formula:

Where:

• \( Best\ 5 \) — Sum of marks from top 5 subjects (including English)
• Each subject is marked out of 100
• Total possible marks is 500 (5 subjects × 100 marks each)

Explanation: The calculator automatically selects the highest scoring 5 subjects from all subjects entered (minimum 5 required).

3. Importance of Best 5 Subjects

Details: ICSE considers the best five subjects for percentage calculation, which gives students flexibility to exclude their lowest score (if they have 6 subjects).

4. Using the Calculator
