The Scenario
Now we are here talking about 20 shifts in more than 250 centers with almost 20 lakh students. And to judge them solely in their own respective exam sets would be gravely unfair. NTA understands this problem and foresaw that some students might have advantage over other on the basis of attempting lesser difficulty level sets.
The Solution
Here is a quote from the NTA; they says that
“In order to overcome such a situation, “Normalization procedure based on Percentile Score” will be used for ensuring that candidates are neither benefitted nor disadvantaged due to the difficulty level of the examination. With the objective of ensuring that a candidate’s true merit is identified, and that a level playing field is created in the above context, the Normalization Procedure, set out below shall be adopted, for compiling the NTA scores for multi session papers.”
So what exactly is the Normalization Procedure based on Percentile Score?
The Percentile score of a Candidate is calculated as follows:
However, it is to be noted that the Percentile of the Total shall NOT be an aggregate or average of the Percentile of individual subject. Percentile score is not the same as percentage of marks obtained.
