    Dear Sir

    For calculation of percentage of marks of 12th standard what is the no. of subjects are to be considered . Because in some cases the calculation is based on best of 5 subjects and some cases it is based on best of 4 subjects. Some boards calculate the percentage of marks adding the marks of fourth subject after deducting the pass marks. Please let me know the basis of calculation of marks followed by State Bank of India for eligibility to appear in the clerkship examination.

    Regards
