Hi guys,

I know this question is stupid:oops:, but I get varied answers outside:

1) add marks phy, chem and maths divide the sum by 3

2) take maths for 100, and phy, chem for 50, divide by 2 to get Aggregate

Which method do the colleges use for undergrad. Admissions?????

Thanks in advance :-D

The second one.

(Maths/2) + (Phy/4) + (Chem/4) will give your cut-off marks out of 200.

No one will disagree with it, buddy. It is the correct method to calculate the cut-off mark in TN. BTW, I have given my class 12 board exams this year. Which class are you studying?

BITS and VIT have different requirements. Everything is mentioned on their websites, I recommend you to go through them.

AFAIK, VIT university don't consider your cut-off marks given that your marks in Physics, Chemistry and Maths are above 60%. Don't worry about that.

Yup, I know that. VIT requires 60% while bits asks for 75%. So does it mean that I need to get 75 above in all the three subs? Coz, I'm sure of getting above 85 in phy and chem, but not so in maths :( it is the only one out of 5 subs, which I have pretty bad.

You have to get 75 marks in all those three subjects, buddy.
