TSICET

TG ICET normalisation formula has two values, namely SASD and GASD. SASD refers to the sum of the average score and standard deviation of the exam shift in which a particular candidate had appeared. Whereas, GASD refers to the sum of the average score and standard deviation across all exam shifts taken together.

Both SASD and GASD help compare a candidate's performance in one session with the overall performance of all test takers. SASD indicates the difficulty and performance level in one particular session, whereas GASD provides a reference based on all exam shifts.

TG ICET normalisation formula takes into account the average scores and standard deviations of each shift and compares them with the overall values across all sessions. TSICET normalisation formula also considers the average marks of the top 0.1 per cent of candidates from all shifts individually and combined. Using these values, a normalised score is calculated after adjusting the raw marks of each candidate.

TS ICET normalisation process ensures that a candidate who took the exam in a difficult exam shift is not disadvantaged while being evaluated.

TG ICET exam is conducted across multiple exam shifts. TS ICET normalisation process ensures fairness amomg candidates who appear in different sessions of the exam. The difficulty level of questions may vary across different shifts of TG ICET exam. To eliminate any kind of benefit from an easier shift of any disadvantage from a tougher shift, the normalisation process is used. TS ICET normalisation process adjusts the scores of all candidates.

TG ICET normalised scores compare the performance of all candidates across a common scale.

TG ICET raw score calculated from the answer key gives candidates an estimate of their performance. However, ICET rank is not based on the raw scores alone. Since there are more than one shift in the TG ICET exam, the exam authority uses the normalisation process to neutralise any effects caused due to varying difficulty level. This normalization process ensures fairness among all candidates who took the ICET exam. Therefore, the raw score can help a candidate understand how they performed, but the normalised score is used to decide the TG ICET rank.

While the TSICET cutoff for Aristotle PG College changes yearly, for MBA admissions, the recent and closing ranks for general category students has been about 23,791. For the OBC, SC, and ST candidates, the cutoff rank tends to be much higher, and may even exceed 40,000 depending on the particular round and available seats. Again, these ranks are the last candidates admitted through the counselling process. The cutoff is determined by the number of applicants, the difficulty of the exam and seat intake. It is always a good idea to try and be equal to or above the cutoff and to always strive for a better rank.
