1. What is Aggregate Percentage?

Aggregate percentage is a weighted average of subject percentages, where each subject's percentage is multiplied by its credit value. This provides a more accurate representation of overall academic performance than a simple average.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the aggregate percentage formula:

\[ \text{Aggregate %} = \frac{\sum (\text{Subject %} \times \text{Credits})}{\text{Total Credits}} \]

Where:

\( \text{Subject %} \) — Percentage obtained in each subject
\( \text{Credits} \) — Credit value of each subject
\( \text{Total Credits} \) — Sum of all subject credits
\( \sum \) — Summation of all weighted percentages

Explanation: This formula gives more weight to subjects with higher credit values, reflecting their greater importance in the overall curriculum.

3. Importance of Aggregate Percentage

Details: Aggregate percentage is crucial for academic evaluations, scholarship eligibility, university admissions, and employment opportunities. It provides a fair comparison of students' performance across different subject combinations.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter total credits, number of subjects, then input each subject's percentage and credit value. Ensure the sum of individual subject credits matches the total credits entered.
