Numerous candidates in the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) Combined Graduate Level (CGL) exam experience confusion regarding the normalisation process since they doubt its ability to fairly evaluate their performance. This method used to balance scores between different shifts with varying difficulty levels creates unexpected changes in candidate assessment results.
The basis of normalisation stays true to the assumption that participant abilities spread evenly across all shifts. The examination shift randomization and the numerous candidate pool establish the validity of this hypothesis. Through statistical calculation the SSC develops a score equilibrium method regarding difficulty levels while performing calculations to five decimal places.
