RRB is all set to conduct the RRB NTPC CBT 2 2021 examination from 14 to 18 February 2022. The 1st Stage Computer Based Test (CBT-1) was held in 7 phases from December 28, 2020 to July 31, 2021. According to the Ministry of Railways, a total of 1.26 crore candidates appeared for the exam from different cities across the country. The exam was conducted in multiple shifts, and there will be variations in the difficulty level of each shift. Hence, RRB applies a normalization method for calculating the qualifying marks of an examination conducted in multiple sessions having different difficulty levels of the questions. Let us look in detail at how the normalization of marks will be done in RRB NTPC, RRB Group D Level-1, and RRB Ministerial & Isolated (MI) Categories 2020 Railway Exams.
What Is Normalization In RRB NTPC Exam?
Normalization means measuring the different values of different times on the same scale. The normalization process followed by RRBs is a scientific and statistical process. It is not a process of awarding grace marks. The normalized score completely depends on the statistical parameters calculated based on the performance of candidates attending the exam in the different sessions. The normalization procedure is going to be totally supported by the raw score of candidates. The raw score is evaluated based on the number of questions attempted correctly or wrongly. These are the scores that are obtained by the aspirants by answering correctly in each section of the Exam. These are the scores calculated after applying the penalty for wrong answers.
Why normalization is necessary?
When an examination is conducted in multiple sessions for the same syllabus, in spite of all efforts there are chances of variation in the difficulty level of the questions in various sessions. Thus the score obtained by the candidates of the same caliber is likely to vary. In order to equalize the variation in the difficulty level of question papers a process called statistical normalization of marks is resorted to universally. This ensures a level playing field for all the candidates.
RRB NTPC Normalization Marks Revised Formula
Railways have released a revised formula for the calculation of normalized marks for multi-session papers has been published. The formula has been modified as mentioned below and will be adopted for normalization:-
What is Raw Score? How Raw Score is calculated?
Raw score or actual marks are the marks that are allotted for each section according to each correct/ incorrect answer. Whereas Normalized marks/ scaled marks are the marks that are calculated using the actual score.
The Raw Score is computed as under:
Total Questions-100; No of Questions Ignored (question wrong, multiple options correct etc): 2
No of Questions attempted: 60; Correctly Answered: 54; Wrongly Answered: 6
Positive Marks: 54; Negative Marks: 2; Net Score: 54-2=52
Score Out of 100: (52/98)*100= 53.06
Raw Score= 53.06
