Hi,
MAR stands for Marks and Academic Record. This is a summary of your academic performance, especially during admission or counselling. It includes the list of subjects studied like Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Maths, English etc , marks obtained in each subject, total marks, percentage, year of passing, and board name (CBSE, State Board, ISC, etc.). MAR helps authorities verify that you meet the eligibility criteria for the course you're applying to, and it’s often required at the time of document verification during admissions.
