NEET PG 2024: NBEMS announces normalisation process

“NBEMS has adopted the process which is currently being used by AIIMS-New Delhi for its various examinations conducted in more than one shift including but not limited to INI-CET, in preparation of result for NEET-PG 2024,” the official NBEMS notice stated.

The examination results for each shift will be prepared in the form of raw scores and percentages.

Percentiles (up to 7 decimal places) for the total score shall be calculated. The resolution of ties will be as per the scheme of the examination published in the prospectus. In case the same is not mentioned in the prospectus, older by age will be ranked higher in tie cases.

Consider an exam with Single Subject conducted in Multiple Shifts. Only 1 Percentile would be calculated for each student. Let T denote the raw marks obtained by a candidate:

NEET PG 2024: Preparation of results for each shift.

Also, the percentile scores for the total marks for all the shifts, as mentioned above, would be merged and arranged so as to derive an overall Merit List / Ranking.

The overall merit/ranking shall be based on the percentile score of the raw score. The method adopted for breaking ties (similar percentiles) shall be based on age, i.e., the candidate older by age will be ranked higher.

For distribution of examinees in multiple shifts, applicants would be allotted into different groups (shifts) randomly such that these groups are approximately equal in number. This will ensure that there is no bias in the distribution of candidates who take the examination. Further, with a large population of examinees spread over the entire country, such a possibility of bias becomes remote.
