The difficulty level of the question papers issued in different shifts 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.
To overcome such a situation, a "Normalisation procedure based on Percentile Score" will be used to ensure that candidates are neither benefitted nor disadvantaged due to the difficulty level of the exam.
