I secured (among five other students) the highest score in Economics in HSC. My other subjects had average scores. Do I still be called a subject topper or is there a ranking done based on higher scores in rest of the subjects?

Toppers are declared on the basis of marks scored in all the subject and also highest in subjects. For example, you scored 98% in your 12th board and scored 100 in economics. Then, you will be declared a topper in economics and in 12th board. Another example, you scored 100 in economics but is only passed in other subjects. You will not be a topper of economics in that case.
