    SSC CGL Tier 1 Normalisation Formula (New)

    The Staff Selection Commission has changed the SSC Normalisation formula for all of its online exams (CBE) conducted on multiple shifts and days. The candidates can see below the New Normalisation formula of SSC.

    Step 1: Converting Raw Scores into Percentile Scores

    • For each shift, the raw scores of all candidates are converted into percentile scores.
    • These percentiles are calculated independently for each shift, capturing a candidate’s relative performance in their specific session.

    Step 2: Mapping Percentiles to Marks Scale

    • All percentile data from various shifts are merged into a single dataset.
    • The combined data is then sorted in descending (or ascending) order of percentiles.
    • Interpolation is used to fill gaps in the raw score table, allowing the percentile values to be mapped back onto the marks scale consistently.

    Step 3: Generating SSC Normalised Scores

    • After Step 2, each percentile corresponds to a specific raw score for each session.
    • This mapping is then used to derive the normalized score for each candidate across all shifts.
    • The final output is a standardized, comparable score for every candidate, regardless of the shift in which they appeared.
