Tamil Nadu Forest Uniformed Services Recruitment Committee notified online examinations are
being carried out in an online Computer Based Test (CBT) mode where the candidates will be
shown the questions in a random sequence on a computer screen. The questions consist of
multiple choice questions (four answer options out of which the correct one has to be chosen).
The online examination will be held in multiple sessions. Hence, a normalization procedure will be
adopted to take into account any variation in the difficulty levels of the question set across different
sessions, although all efforts are being undertaken to prepare question paper sets of equal difficulty
level.
The normalization procedure is based on the fundamental assumption that "in all multi-session
papers, the distribution of abilities of candidates is the same across all the sessions". This
assumption is justified since "the number of candidates appearing in multi-session subjects in major
examination is large and the procedure of allocation of session to candidates is random. Further it is
also ensured that for the same multi-session subject, the number of candidates allotted in each
session is of the same order of magnitude."
The candidate's final score after normalization will be different than the raw score (score arrived
with reference to final answer key). 'Final score' may be equal or greater or lesser than the raw
score depending on the average, standard deviation, average of marks scored by top 0.1% or 10
candidates (whichever is larger) of a particular session, as compared with sum of averages,
standard deviation, average of marks scored by top 0.1% or 10 candidates (whichever is larger) of
all the sessions.
30 | P a g e
NORMALIZATIONFORMULA :-
Nij: is the Normalized marks obtained by the jth candidate in ith session.
Mij: is the actual marks obtained by the jth candidate in i thsession.
Miq: is the sum of the mean marks and standard deviation of the ith session i.e.
Mgt: is the average of the top 0.1 % or top 10 (whichever is larger) candidates considering all
sessions.
Mgg: is the sum of mean and standard deviation marks of the candidates in the paper
considering all sessions.
Mti: is the average marks of the top 0.1% of the candidates or top 10 (whichever is larger) in the ith
session
Miq: is the sum of the mean marks and standard deviation of the ith session
On Rearranging we get the formula as
Where,
NS = Normalized Score
AS = Actual Score
MS = Mean Score
Assumptions:
1. Roll number of all applicants are randomly distributed.
2. All applicants with in different shifts are also randomly distributed i.e. if tests are conducted
in 12 different shifts then none of shift contains same type of applicants. Here type of
applicants means students from same school or from neighboring areas.
3. Every shift contains different paper with all questions distinct.
4. The question paper in different shifts may or may not have same difficulty level.
31 | P a g e
5. Each applicant in one particular shift has same paper but has different ordering of questions
as well as different ordering of options of a particular question.
6. All questions have been allotted the same marks.
NOTE: Above Normalization Formula is used by GATE / CAT / RAILWAYS etc. and is widely
accepted
The decision of the TNFUSRC in all aspects and all aspects pertaining to the application and its
acceptance or rejections as the case may be, conduct of examination and at all consequent stages
culminating in the selection or otherwise of any candidate shall be final in all respects and binding
on all concerned. TNFUSRC also reserves its right to alter and modify regarding time and
conditions laid down in the notification for conducting the various stages up to selection, duly
intimating details thereof to all concerned, as warranted by any unforeseen circumstances arising
during the course of this process, or any stage deemed necessary by the Tamil Nadu Forest
Uniformed Services Recruitment Committee at any stage.
