RRB NTPC identifies normalization process

RRB uses a normalization process to ensure fairness across different test sessions. This is particularly important as CBTs are conducted in multiple shifts over several days. The normalization process considers

  • Raw Score of Candidates
  • Difficulty level of each test session
  • Overall performance of candidates in different sessions


The normalization process is designed to ensure that no candidate is at a disadvantage due to variation in test difficulty across sessions. While you can’t control the normalization process, you can control your preparation and performance. Aim to score as high as possible in your RRB NTPC Recruitment Exam.
