NEET PG 2024: The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) on Sunday, August 11, conducted the NEET PG 2024 examination in two shifts – the first from 9 am to 12:30 am and the next from 3:30 pm to 7 pm, instead of the usual single-shift format. With the new system in place, the NBEMS released a notice explaining the standardization procedure adopted by the medical examining board for the preparation of the results.
“NBEMS has adopted the process currently used by AIIMS-New Delhi for its various exams conducted in more than one shift including but not limited to INI-CET, in preparation for NEET-PG 2024 result,” the NBEMS notice read.
The NBEMS cited an AIIMS Delhi notification dated January 20, 2023, which said that the percentile score is considered the normalized score for the exam.
NEET PG Exam 2024: Standardization
Score normalization (percentile score) indicates the percentage of candidates who scored at or below (raw score at or below) that particular score. percentile on that testTherefore, the first (highest score) of each group (shift) will get the same percentile out of 100, which is desirable. The marks obtained between the highest and lowest scores are converted into appropriate percentiles.
Candidates should note that the results of the examinations for each session will be prepared in the form of raw scores and percentages. Percentile scores will be calculated to 7 decimal places to avoid the clustering effect and reduce ties.
NEET PG Exam 2024: Standardization Process
In this method, the highest score on each exam (regardless of raw scores/percentage obtained) will be the 100th percentile, indicating that 100% of candidates obtained a score equal to or lower than the highest scoring/first-ranked candidate in that round.
For example, in shift 1, if the highest score is 80%; in shift 2, if the highest score is 82%; in shift 3, if the highest score is 78%; and in shift 4, if the highest score is 79%, all of the highest scores would be normalized to the 100th percentile for their respective group/shift.
The lowest score would have a percentile based on the total number of candidates who have appeared for the exam. For example, let’s say 100000 students I took the exam in one shift, and the highest score (A) for that group/shift is 160/200 (80%), and the lowest score (B) is —3/200 (-1.5%).
If no other candidate has scores equal to A or B, then the percentile score of A, the highest scoring candidate, will be 100 (since all or 100% of the candidates have scored equal to or less than A).
The percentile score for B (the lowest score) will be 0.001 since the percentage of candidates with scores equal to or lower than that would be 0.001. [(1/100000) *100].
If a candidate (C) had a raw score similar to A, then both A and C would have a percentile score of 100.
Similarly, if another candidate (D) had a raw score equal to B, then both B and D would have a percentile score of 0.002. [(2/100000) *100]Ties would therefore have similar percentages.
Ties will be resolved in accordance with the examination scheme published in the prospectus. In the event that the same is not mentioned in the prospectus, priority will be given to the oldest candidates in cases of ties.
