Q: Is normalisation procedure applied for the calculation of RBI Assistant scores?

Yes. Normalisation procedure is applied for the calculation of RBI Assistant scores. The normalisation of scores is done because the exam is conducted in multiple shifts. This is done to adjust the difficulty level of the question papers held across various sessions. The result is announced based on the normalised marks. Normalisation is very common in all the banking exams that are conducted online and in multiple shifts. RBI employs this process to evaluate the candidates' performance based on difficulty level and parameters of the entrance exam. RBI conducts the exam in multiple slots. The topics, questions and cut off vary for each shift. Despite all hard work and preparation, the question in one slot may be comparatively difficult from another. To carry out fair and transparent evaluation process, RBI normalizes the scores obtained by candidates.
