How to Calculate Your Matric Percentage — Complete Guide

Whether you're a student checking your results or need your percentage for college admissions, this guide will walk you through calculating your Matric (SSC) percentage for any Pakistani board.

Step 1: Gather Your Marks

Collect your mark sheet or result card. You'll need the obtained marks and total marks for each subject. Most Matric science group students have 9 subjects with a total of 1100 marks.

Step 2: Add Up Your Obtained Marks

Add all your obtained marks together. For example:

• English: 72/100
• Urdu: 68/100
• Mathematics: 85/100
• Physics: 78/100
• Chemistry: 70/100
• Biology: 82/100
• Islamiat: 45/50
• Pak Studies: 42/50

Total Obtained: 542

Step 3: Calculate the Percentage

Divide obtained marks by total marks and multiply by 100:

542 / 700 × 100 = 77.43%
