Normalisation of the Marks for Multi-Session Papers
Whenever CBT is
conducted in multiple sessions for the same syllabus, the raw marks obtained by
the candidates in different sessions will be converted to normalized marks. The
raw marks for single session paper and normalized marks for the multi-session paper
will be used for computing Merit Index, which is a common benchmark for
generating merit for candidates from different Exam Groups.
In 1st Stage CBT and for some Exam
Groups in 2nd Stage CBT, the examination may be conducted in multi-sessions.
Hence, for these multisession papers, a suitable normalization is applied to
take into account any variation in the difficulty levels of the question papers
across different sessions.
The formula for calculating the normalized marks for
the multi-session papers is detailed below:
CALCULATION OF MERIT INDEX FOR ALL PAPERS
In order to
generate a common merit list comprising of candidates who gave examination from
different Exam Groups, but eligible for a common post, merit index will be
computed. For all papers for which there is only one session, actual marks
obtained by the candidates will be used for calculating Merit Index, while for
papers in multi-session, normalized marks will be calculated corresponding to
the raw marks obtained by a candidate and the Merit Index will be calculated
based on the normalized marks.
