In the above table the Maximum Marks of each subject are different. Each student opted different subjects and secured marks. I have used the formula for Total is as follows:
=IFERROR(SUM(C6,LARGE(D6:J6, 1), LARGE(D6:J6, 2), LARGE(D6:J6, 3), LARGE(D6:J6, 4), LARGE(D6:J6, 5)),"")
Now please suggest me that what formula use for percentage for each student?

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Does this work?

Thanks for your response.
In this class, there are eight subjects. Some students opted eight subjects, some are seven or six. I want sum of larger value of five subjects+Marks of English subject. So, I have used this sum formula. Now How can I obtain percentage of each student (i.e. each row)?

Thanks for your response.
The formula suggested by you works if SUM(E4:L4), but if the formula of TOTAL column is
=IFERROR(SUM(E4,LARGE(F4:L4, 1), LARGE(F4:L4, 2), LARGE(F4:L4, 3), LARGE(F4:L4, 4), LARGE(F4:L4, 5)),"") then it not works.
I want PERCENTAGE, Total marks obtained by above formula/sum of Max. Marks of those subjects from where above total obtained.
So, please suggest me.

He is not interested in the average. He's looking for the overall percentage grade (or score) for each student. Take Cathe in row 5 as an example. She took 4 classes and got 50 for each of the 4 classes resulting in total score of 200. (Total possible score for those 4 classes she took is 310).

200/310 = 64.5%

The OP is interested in the percentage score 64.5%


What is your expected result in the yellow range?

Why are you so worried about that yellow part? That was never in the original poster's question at the beginning nor did he ever mention it in his posting.

If the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th highest marks are the same, which subject marks will be calculated?

Can you calculate the results of rows 3, 4 and 6?

Thanks for your response.
In the above table, every student must opted minimum six subjects. Any student can obtain same marks in different subjects. I want output in N column is: The result of "TOTAL" column (M3=IFERROR(SUM(C3,LARGE(D3:J3,{1,2,3,4,5})),"") divided by the sum of Maximum marks of their coresponding subjects. So please suggest me the formula.

In case the marks large 5,6,7,8 are the same (rows 3,4,6), which subject do you choose?

What are the expected results of rows 3, 4 and 6?
