Chapter-8
EVALUATION CRITERIA
8.1 The performance of the Candidates in Part-I: Multiple Choice Objective Type Test and Part-II:
Computer Knowledge Test shall be evaluated as per the marking scheme mentioned in Clause
6.1 & 6.2.
8.2 In case the Part-I and Part-II Examination is conducted in more than one shift due to the
large number of candidates to be accommodated in limited number of computer nodes
available, Normalization procedure shall be adopted for ensuring equivalency in the question
papers administered to the Candidates in different shifts.
8.3 In case the Part-I and Part-II Examination is not conducted in multiple shifts, then
process of normalization shall not be applicable in computation of results.
8.4 The detailed procedure to be adopted for compilation of Percentile Score (NTA Score) for multi
session papers (based upon Normalization Procedure) is mentioned below:-
8.5 Normalization
8.5.1 NTA may conduct examinations on multiple dates, generally in two sessions per day. The
candidates will be given different sets of questions per session and it is quite possible that in
spite of all efforts of maintaining equivalence among various question papers, the difficulty
level of these question papers administered in different sessions may not be exactly the same.
Some of the candidates may end up attempting a relatively tougher set of questions when
compared to other sets. The candidates who attempt the comparatively tougher examination are
likely to get lower marks as compared to those who attempt the easier one. In order to overcome
such a situation, “NORMALIZATION PROCEDURE BASED ON PERCENTILE SCORE”
will be used for ensuring that candidates are neither benefited 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, shall be adopted, for compiling the Percentile Score (NTA scores) for multi session
papers.
8.5.2 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.
18
8.6 Percentile Scores
8.6.1 Percentile scores are scores based on the relative performance of all those who appear for the
Examination.
8.6.2 Basically the marks obtained are transformed into a scale ranging from 100 to 0 for each
session of examinees.
8.6.3 The Percentile score of a candidate indicates the percentage of candidates that have scored
EQUAL TO OR BELOW (same or lower raw score) that particular candidate in that
examination session. Therefore the topper (highest score) of each session will get the same
Percentile of 100 which is desirable. The marks obtained in between the highest and lowest
scores are also converted to appropriate Percentiles.
8.6.4 The Percentile score will be the Normalized Score for the examination (instead of the raw
marks of the candidate) and shall be used for preparation of the merit lists.
8.6.5 The Percentile Scores will be calculated up to 7 decimal places to avoid bunching effect and
reduce ties.
The Percentile score of a Candidate is calculated as follows:
100 X Number of candidates appeared in the ‘Session’ with raw score EQUAL TO OR LESS than the candidate
Total number of the candidates appeared in the ’Session’
Note: 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.
8.7 STEP-BY-STEP PROCEDURE FOR NORMALIZATION AND PREPARATION OF RESULT
8.7.1 Step-1: Distribution of Examinees in multiple shifts/sessions:
(i) Candidates will be distributed into multiple shifts/sessions randomly so that each shift/
session has City/ Category/ Gender wise approximately similar percentages of candidates.
(ii) This will ensure that there is no bias in the distribution of candidates who will take the
examination. Further, with a large population of examinees, the possibility of such bias
becomes remote.
(iii) Multiple shift/ sessions would be as follows:
Session-1: Day-1 Shift-1 Session-2: Day-1 Shift-2
Session-3: Day-2 Shift-1, Session-4: Day-2 Shift-2
(iv) In the event of more number of days or less number of shifts, the candidates will be divided
accordingly.
19
8.7.2 Step-2: Compilation of Percentile Score (NTA Score) for each shift/ Session for each
Candidate only for those who qualify:
(i) Those obtaining less than 25 raw marks or having typing speed less than 25 words per
minute in Part-II will be declared as ‘Not-Qualified’ and remaining others as ‘Qualified’
(ii) Raw Marks obtained by each candidate in the shift/session who qualify will be converted
into Percentile Score (NTA Score) as follows:
Raw Marks obtained in Part-I into Percentile Score (NTA Score) (TP1)
Raw Marks obtained in Part-I + Part-II into Percentile Score (NTA Score) (TP)
(iii) The Percentile Score (NTA Score) would be calculated for each candidate who qualifies in
the shift/Session as follows:
Let TP1 be the Percentile Score (NTA Score) of Raw Score of Part-I and TP Percentile
