Page 5 of 8

the age of the candidate giving the priority to older candidate.
• Rank obtained in TG ICET 2025 is valid for the Academic Year 2025-26

XI. Normalization of Question Paper of TG ICET - 2025
TG ICET - 2025 is conducted in multiple sessions based on the same syllabus, same
pattern for candidates having same eligibility criteria. A candidate has permitted to
appear only in one session. Since the question paper is different for each session, there
is a possibility that the candidates may compare themselves about the variation in the
difficulty levels of question paper of the same subject. However, it may be noted that
utmost care will be taken so that all the subjects are of the same standard. Further, it
is decided to adopt a normalization process to eliminate any such variations in the
difficulty levels of various sessions. The main aim of the Normalization is to ensure
that no student gets advantage/disadvantage due to multiple sessions.
The normalization process brings all the candidates across all sessions on a
comparative scale. Due to this process, the marks of the easy session may be reduced
marginally, and marks of hard session may increase marginally on the global scale.
This depends exactly on the average performance in each session. Since care is taken
to prepare papers of equal difficulty, these changes are expected to be very marginal.
Normalized marks justify the candidates while respecting their actual performance.
Hence, the following normalization procedure is adopted which is being followed by
other competitive Examinations in India to avoid advantage/disadvantage to
candidates in a particular session compared to the other sessions.
𝑵𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒛𝒆𝒅 𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒆
𝑮𝑻𝑨 − 𝑮𝑨𝑺𝑫
= 𝑮𝑨𝑺𝑫 + 𝒙 (𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒔 𝒐𝒃𝒕𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒅 𝒃𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒖𝒃𝒋𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒊𝒏 𝒂 𝒔𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 − 𝑺𝑨𝑺𝑫)
𝑺𝑻𝑨 − 𝑺𝑨𝑺𝑫
Where,
SASD: Sum of Average (A) and Standard Deviation (SD) of the subject of a
session in which the candidate appeared.
GASD: Sum of Average (A) and Standard Deviation (SD) of all the candidates
across all sessions of the subject put together.
STA: Average mark of the top 0.1% of the candidates in the subject of a session
in which the candidate appeared.
GTA: Average mark of the top 0.1% of all the candidates across all the sessions
of the subject put together.
Page 6 of 8
Note: For the candidates for whom there is no qualifying cut-off in TG ICET - 2025, if
the mark in TG ICET - 2025 after normalization goes below zero (negative), the mark
is treated as zero. If the tie persists, then TG ICET - 2025 normalization marks (though
negative) are considered for resolving the tie.
