Primary answer

Normalization is a statistical process used when a GATE paper is conducted in multiple sessions. Since different sessions may have slight variations in difficulty levels, normalization ensures fairness by adjusting the raw marks of candidates based on the relative difficulty of each session. This method helps maintain equity among candidates appearing in different sessions of the same paper.
