Normalization Logic: Balancing Fairness

Since CG PPHT may be conducted across multiple sessions, CG Vyapam employs a Normalization Formula to ensure no student is disadvantaged by a “Hard” paper compared to an “Easy” one.

Example: If Session I has a very difficult Physics section where the top score is 120/150, and Session II is easier with a top score of 140/150, the normalization process adjusts the scales so that a 120 in Session I is equivalent in percentile/value to the 140 in Session II. This ensures your rank is based on your relative performance.
