Railway RRB Marks Normalization Method New Notice PDF

The Railway Recruitment Boards (RRB) have introduced a new normalization methodology for the Computer Based Tests (CBT) conducted under various Centralized Employment Notices (CENs). This system aims to ensure fairness in evaluating candidates across multiple shifts of the exam. Here’s a breakdown of how the new system will work:

Percentile-Based Normalization Methodology

  1. Percentile Scores: The new methodology will use percentile scores to standardize raw marks. This score represents a candidate’s performance relative to others in their shift, on a scale from 0 to 100. The top performer in each shift will receive a percentile score of 100, while other scores are adjusted accordingly.
  2. Calculation of Percentile: A candidate’s percentile is determined by the percentage of candidates in their shift who scored equal to or below them. This helps provide a normalized score that can be compared across different exam shifts.
  3. Usage of Percentile Scores: Percentile scores will replace raw scores for creating the merit lists, ensuring candidates from different shifts are evaluated on a comparable scale.

Detailed Calculation Process

Merit List and Qualifying Criteria

To be included in the merit list, candidates must meet a minimum percentage requirement based on category:

Selection of Base Shift and Normalization Formula

The “Base Shift” is chosen based on the highest mean score among all shifts, with additional criteria if multiple shifts have the same mean. This shift serves as a reference for calculating normalized marks through interpolation, ensuring that scores are standardized effectively across shifts.

Candidates Advised to Follow Official Channels

RRB urges candidates to rely on official RRB websites for updates and avoid unofficial sources or individuals promising recruitment assistance. All selections are conducted based on CBT performance and merit.

This updated approach by RRB aims to improve transparency and fairness in the recruitment process, ensuring all candidates are assessed equitably across exam shifts.
