Yes, you can consider Information Technology  or Computer Science subjects while calculating your marks for the top 20 percentile in HSC board results The top 20 percentile eligibility is usually based on the marks secured in the best five subjects from your board’s approved list. These five subjects typically include Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, one language (like English), and one more subject which can be Information Technology or Computer Science if it was a part of your official curriculum. Boards like Maharashtra, CBSE, and others accept IT or CS as one of the optional fifth subjects, provided it is treated as an academic subject. So if you have scored well in IT or CS, you candefinitely include it in your best five marks calculation. Just ensure that the subject is not a vocational stream unless specifically allowed. This calculation will help determine your eligibility for institutes like IITs and NITs where top 20 percentile criteria are considered alongside JEE scores
