NORMALISATION OF THE MARKS:

The raw marks for single session paper and normalized marks for multi session
paper will be used for computing Merit Index, which is a common benchmark for
generating merit for candidates from different Exam Groups.

CALCULATION OF MERIT INDEX FOR ALL PAPERS

In order to generate a common merit list comprising of candidates who gave

examination from different exam groups, but eligible for a common post, merit index
will be computed. For all papers for which there is only one session, actual marks
obtained by the candidates will be used for calculating merit index, while for papers
in multi-sessions; normalized marks will be calculated corresponding to the raw

10
 marks obtained by a candidate and the merit index will be calculated based on the
normalized marks.

The Merit Index will be computed using the formula given below:
M - Mq
Merit Index = Sq+(St -Sq)
Mt - Mq

(Merit Index is the relative score of a candidate within the discipline.)

M: Marks obtained by the candidate (actual/raw marks for single session exam and
normalized marks for multi session exam. Mq: The qualifying marks for general
category candidate in the paper (40).
Mt: The mean marks of top 0.1% or top 10 whichever is larger of the candidates who
appeared in the paper (in case of multi session exam including all sessions)
Sq: 350 is the score assigned to Mq.

St: 900 is the score assigned to Mt.

The qualifying marks (Mq) for general category candidate is 40.

The Merit Index will be calculated for UR, OBC, SC, ST candidates whose actual
marks for single session exam and normalized marks for multi session exam are
equal or above the community qualifying marks prescribed in Para II of General
Instructions. Based on the Merit Index generated, a combined merit list of the
candidates of different disciplines/Exam Group will be prepared in the descending
order of merit and the allotment of the preference will be done on the basis of this
merit list.
