New Delhi: The misinformation is being spread about Level-1 results of Railway Recruitment Board asserted the Indian Railways.
As per the government notification, RRBs had invited online applications against Centralized Employment Notification (CEN) No. 02/2018, published by RRBs on 10.02.2018, for a total 62,907 vacancies. According to report, 1,89,78,913 online applications were received. World’s largest Computer Based Test was successfully conducted on 51days from 17.09.2018 to 17.12.2018 in 152 shifts. The result of the above Computer Based Test was announced on 04.03.2019.
Para-7 under the Head “Important Instructions” of the Centralized Employment Notification (CEN) 02/2018, it has been stated that marks secured by the candidates would be subjected to normalization.
The large number of candidates have represented on the result declared by RRBs and the method adopted for the same. For the above Computer Based Test no new method of preparation of result has been introduced. The shortlisting of candidates has been done purely on candidate’s merit and by the following time tested method of normalization:-
Normalized Score for a candidate (Xn)
Xn=(S2/S1)*(X-Xav)+Yav, where
Where S2 is Standard Deviation (SD) of the shift with the Highest Average Score taken as a base for normalization, S1is Standard Deviation for the shift whose marks are to be normalized (to be scaled to S2) X Raw score of the candidate, Xav is Simple average of the Shift: Yav is Average corresponding to shift with highest Average (taken as base for normalization)
All RRB examinations/Computer Based Test held since 2000 have followed this normalization method. It is not uncommon that on normalization, marks secured by a candidate would go more than the total marks of the exam paper.
