The normalization formula also released

Along with releasing the exam dates, the commission has also released the evaluation formula for the preliminary examination to be held in more than one shift. The Commission has said that the committee of experts had recommended the above formula after a thorough study of the court orders.

What is the normalization formula?

According to this formula, to know the percentage score of a candidate, the quotient of the number of all candidates securing marks equal to or less than the marks secured by him and the total number of candidates present in that shift has to be multiplied by 100.

For better understanding, suppose a candidate of j shift scored X marks. A total of N candidates appeared for the exam in this shift. Then to know the percentage score of that candidate, first the total number of candidates securing marks equal to or less than X has to be divided by N, i.e. the total number of candidates present in that shift. Now by multiplying the quotient by 100, the percentage score of the candidate will be obtained.

The Commission has said that the percentage score of the candidates can be up to six digits after decimal (00.000000%).
