Percentile Based RRB Group D Score Calculation
RRBs adopt percentitle-based normalisation for the calculation of RRB Group D scores. The details regarding percentitle-based normalisation are given below:
- Percentile scores are scores based on the relative performance of all those who appear for the examination. The marks obtained are transformed into a scale ranging from 100 to 0 for each shift of examinees
- The percentile score indicates the percentage of candidates that have scored equal to or below (same or lower raw scores) that particular percentile in that examination. Therefore, the topper (highest score) of each shift gets the same percentile of 100 which is desirable
- In percentitle-based normalisation, the marks obtained between the highest and lowest scores are also converted to appropriate percentiles
- The percentile score is the normalised score for the examination (instead of the raw marks of the candidate) and is used for the preparation of the merit lists
- The percentile scores for the raw score of all the candidates for all the shifts are merged and called the RRC scores which are then used for the compilation of results and further processing for deciding the merit allocation
- The percentile scores are calculated up to 5 decimal places to avoid the bunching effect and reduce ties
- In case of two or more candidates secure the same normalised percentile score, their merit position will be determined by age criteria. The older person is placed at higher merit and in case age is the same, then alphabetical order (A to Z) of the name shall be taken into account to break the tie
Formula for Percentile-Based Normalisation
The Percentile score of a Candidate for a particular shift will be calculated as below:
Percentile Score =Number of candidates who appeared in the ‘Shift’ with raw score EQUAL TO OR LESS than the candidate/The total number of the candidates who appeared in the ’Shift’ X 1000
RRB Group D Marking Scheme
RRBs have revised the marking scheme of RRB Group D in 2022. The percentile score of each candidate is converted by RRBs into normalised marks by interpolation of the raw marks into the base shift. The calculation of base shift is done using the standard mathematical formula of interpolation. The purpose of interpolation of the raw marks into the base shift is to decide the minimum qualifying marks as well as give weightage in marks to CCAA candidates.
