What is the Best 4 concept?
The Best 4 concept includes the calculation of the marks secured in the top 4 subjects. Amongst the marks obtained in all the subjects in the 12th standard mark sheet, the best 4 is taken to calculate the average. The marks obtained are added and then divided by 4.
The Best 4 includes:
1. One language(core, functional, elective).
2. Marks of the subject in which admission is to be taken (eg. If history Hons is to be taken, history should be the subject included in Best 4).
3. Stream change leads to deduction of the percentile.
4. Two other List A elective/academic subjects
5. 70% of theory marks and 30% practical marks in all subjects is optimum.
