National Testing Agency (NTA)
Procedure to be adopted for compilation of NTA scores for multi session Papers
(Normalization procedure based on PERCENTILE SCORE)
NTA will be conducting 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 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.
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.
Percentile Scores: Percentile scores are scores based on the relative performance of all those who appear for the examination.
Basically the marks obtained are transformed into a scale ranging from 100 to 0 for each session of examinees.
The Percentile Score indicates the percentage of candidates that have scored EQUAL TO OR BELOW (same or lower raw scores)
that particular Percentile in that examination. 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.
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.
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.
Example: Suppose a test was held in 4 sessions of examinees as per details given below:-
(Allocation of Days and shifts were done randomly)
(a) Distribution of candidates were as follows:
Session-1: Day-1 Shift-1, Session-2: Day-1 Shift-2, Session-3: Day-2 Shift-1 and Session-4: Day-2 Shift-2

Session Day/Shift No of Candidates Marks

Absent Appeared Total Highest Lowest
Session-1 Day-1 Shift-1 3974 28012 31986 335 -39
Session-2 Day-1 Shift-2 6189 32541 38730 346 -38
Session-3 Day-2 Shift-1 6036 41326 47362 331 -49
Session-4 Day-2 Shift-2 9074 40603 49677 332 -44
Total(Session-1 to Session-4) 25273 142482 167755 346 -49

In this method of scoring the HIGHEST RAW SCORE in each paper (irrespective of the raw scores) will be the 100 Percentile
indicating that 100% of candidates have scores equal to or lesser than the highest scorer/ topper for that session.
Highest Raw Score and Percentile Score: All the highest raw scores will have normalized Percentile Score of 100 for their respective
session.

who have taken the examination for their respective session.

STEP-BY-STEP PROCEDURE FOR NORMALIZATION AND PREPARATION OF RESULT:

Step-1: Distribution of Examinees in two shifts:

Candidates have to be distributed into two sessions randomly so that each session has approximately equal number of
candidates. These two sessions would be as follows:
Session-1: Day-1 Shift-1, Session-2: Day-1 Shift-2
In the event of more number of days or less number of shifts, the candidates will be divided accordingly.
This will ensure that there is no bias in the distribution of candidates who shall take the examination. Further, with a large
population of examinees spread over the entire country the possibility of such bias becomes remote.

Step-2: Preparation of Results for each Session:

The examination results for each session would be prepared in the form of
 Raw Scores
 Percentiles Scores of Total raw scores.
The Percentiles would be calculated for each candidate in the Session as follows:
Let TP1 be the Percentile Scores of Total Raw Score of that candidate.

No. of candidates appeared from the session with raw score EQUAL TO OR LESS than T1 score
Total Percentile (TP1) : 100 X
Total No. of candidates appeared in the session

Step-3: Compilation of NTA score and Preparation of Result:

The Percentile scores for the Total Raw Score for all the sessions (Session-1: Day-1 Shift-1, Session-2: Day-1 Shift-2) as
calculated in Step-2 above would be merged and shall be called the NTA scores which will then be used for compilation
of result and further processing for deciding the allocation.

In the events of the percentiles for the multi-shifts being dissimilar / unequal, the lowest will be the eligibility cut-off for
that category for all candidates (i.e. all shifts).

For Example: In an the examination held in two shifts, if the 40% marks correspond to a Percentile score of 78 in Shift 1
and 79 in Shift 2, then all those equal to or above 78 percentiles (Percentile score of 100 to 78) in both shifts will become
eligible in General Category. Similar method will be adopted for the other categories to determine eligibility cut-offs.

In case the examination is held in more number of shifts the same principle shall apply.

Computer Based Test (CBT)

The major examinations being conducted by NTA will be Computer Based Test (CBT). A CBT requires candidates to sit in front of a
computer terminal (node) allocated to them against their Roll number and Admit card. After logging the candidate will get detailed
instructions for the examinations. At the designated time of start of examination, the candidates will be able to proceed and see the
questions on the computer screen using the computer mouse. Candidates will have the option to change / modify/ edit / answers
already entered any time during the examination.

NTA: Test Practice Centres (TPCs)

The NTA as part of its objectives, will, inter-alia conduct efficient, transparent and international standard tests to assess the
competency of candidates for admission, and recruitment purposes, undertake research on educational, professional and testing
systems to identify gaps in the knowledge systems and take steps for bridging them, identify experts and institutions in setting
examination questions and produce and disseminate information and research on education and professional development
standards.
The major examinations being conducted by NTA will be Computer Based Test (CBT). A CBT requires candidates to sit in front of a
computer terminal (node) allocated to them against their Roll number and Admit Card. After logging the candidate will get detailed
instructions for the examinations. At the designated time of start of examination, the candidates will be able to proceed and see the
questions on the computer screen using the computer mouse. Candidates will have the option to change / modify/ edit / answers

Centres for candidates, especially in remote and rural areas to enable them to practice and be comfortable in taking a Computer
Based Test (CBT). This facility will be completely free of cost. Candidates can register online (on NTA website) where they will be
provided a convenient TPC near to their location to practice on a given computer node. This will facilitate and ease the process of
being able to take a Computer Based Test (CBT). The entire experience of using a computer will be as close to the actual experience
of taking a CBT. All efforts will also be made to provide practice tests and questions so that candidates can familiarize themselves
with logging into the system, go through the detailed instructions regarding the test, use the mouse or numeric keyboard on screen
(virtual) for attempting each question, scroll down to the next question, navigate between questions, review and edit their options
and submit questions.

The objective of TPCs will primarily be to organize test practice for the upcoming NTA examinations.
