The June edition of the UGC NET exam was initially conducted on June 18 in a single shift for the first time, however, it was cancelled due to alleged paper leak on DarkNet.

NTA UGC NET Result 2024: Normalization process

For papers conducted in multiple shifts, NTA uses score normalization method to eliminate the difference in difficulty level of the various question papers attempted by students. Under the normalization method, the raw scores of candidates are converted into percentile scores. The normalized scores are based on the relative performance of all candidates who appeared for the exam. The percentile score will be calculated up to seven decimal places to avoid bunching effects and reduce the possibility of ties.

Step-by-step procedure for normalization and result preparation is given below.

Step 1: Distribution of examinees in two shifts

Candidates will be distributed in two sessions randomly having approximately equal number of students. The two sessions will be as follows:

• Session 1: Day 1, shift 1
• Session 2: Day 1, shift 2

Step 2: Preparation of result for each session

The UGC NET exam result for each session will be prepared in the form of:

• Raw scores
• Percentile scores of total raw scores

The percentile score of a candidate is calculated as follows:

100 X Number of candidates appeared in the ‘Session’ with raw score equal to or less than the candidate / Total number of the candidates appeared in the ’Session’

Step 3: Compilation of NTA score and result preparation

The percentile score for the total raw score for all the sessions would be merged and will be called NTA scores which will be further used for result preparation.
