Mean Standard Deviation Method For Score Normalization

This examination is conducted in multiple shifts 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 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 which is been accepted for this examination also.

Normalization of scores ensures that the marks accurately reflect the candidates' performance relative to the
difficulty of the exam in every Shift. The mathematical process of normalization leads to increase or decrease of
marks. Following Formula is universally accepted for this normalization.

̅ 𝒈𝒕 − 𝑴𝒈𝒒
𝑴 𝒈𝒎
̂ 𝒊𝒋 =
𝑴 (𝑴𝒊𝒋 − 𝑴𝒊𝒒 ) + 𝑴𝒒
̅
𝑴𝒕𝒊 − 𝑴𝒊𝒒
̂ 𝒊𝒋 = Normalized marks of jth candidate in the ith shift.
𝑴

𝑴̅ 𝒈𝒕 = is the average marks of the top 0.1% of the candidates considering all shifts (No. of candidates will be
rounded up)
𝒈
𝑴𝒒 = is the sum of mean and standard deviation marks of the candidates in the paper considering all shifts.

̅ 𝒕𝒊 = is the average marks of the top 0.1% of the candidates in the ith shift (No. of candidates will be rounded up)
𝑴

𝑴𝒊𝒒 = is the sum of mean marks and standard deviation of the ith shift
𝑴𝒊𝒋 = is the actual marks obtained by the jth candidate in ith shift.
𝒈𝒎
𝑴𝒒 = is the sum of mean marks of candidates in the shift having maximum mean and standard deviation of
marks of candidates in the examination considering all shifts.

𝑴𝒕𝒊 − 𝑴𝒊𝒒
178.39971 − 143.48302
