Normalization procedure
1. The process of Normalization is an established practice for comparing candidate scores across multi session papers and is similar to those being adopted in other large educational selection tests conducted in India. For normalization across sections, NTA shall use the percentile equivalence.
2. Percentile Scores: Percentile scores are scores based on the relative performance of all those who appear for the examination. Basically, the marks obtained are transformed into a scale ranging from 100 to 0 for each session of examinees.
3. The Percentile score of a Candidate is calculated as follows:
Note:
The Percentile of the Total shall NOT be an aggregate or average of the Percentile of an individual subject. Percentile score is not the same as percentage of marks obtained.
The Percentile Scores will be calculated up to 7 decimal places to avoid bunching effect and reduce ties.
