How Scores Are Normalised By NTA?
The National Testing Agency (NTA) uses a normalisation process to ensure fairness in exams conducted across multiple shifts, where the difficulty level of question papers may vary. Instead of raw marks, candidates are awarded an NTA score, which reflects their relative performance compared to others who appeared in the same shift.
Under this method, the marks obtained by candidates are converted into a percentile score ranging from 100 to 0. This percentile indicates the percentage of candidates in a particular shift who have scored equal to or less than a given candidate.
Here Are The Key Points On JEE Main Session 2 Paper 1(BE/BTech Paper) Results:

The agency noted that the examination was conducted across nine shifts between April 2 and April 8, during which significant variation was observed in raw scores required to achieve similar percentile ranks.
