The National Testing Agency (NTA) has issued a clarification regarding the Common University Entrance Test for Postgraduate (CUET PG) examinations. According to the NTA, candidates who appeared in the rescheduled exams did not receive any normalisation benefit. This clarification comes after reports suggested that some students might have been unfairly advantaged.
No Normalisation for Rescheduled Candidates
The NTA stated that the normalisation process was applied only to candidates who took the exam in the originally scheduled shifts. For those who appeared in the rescheduled exams, their scores were calculated based on the raw marks obtained, without any adjustment. This decision ensures that the integrity of the examination process is maintained.
Reason Behind the Decision
The NTA explained that the rescheduled exams were conducted under similar conditions, and the difficulty level of the question papers was comparable. Therefore, there was no need for normalisation. The agency emphasised that all candidates were treated fairly, and no one received undue advantage.
Candidates who had concerns about the normalisation process can now rest assured that the NTA has addressed the issue transparently. The clarification also aims to dispel any misconceptions among students and parents.
Impact on Candidates
For candidates who appeared in the rescheduled exams, this means that their scores are based solely on their performance. They will not receive any additional marks through normalisation. This could affect their overall ranking and admission prospects. However, the NTA assures that the process is equitable.
The NTA has urged all stakeholders to rely on official communications for accurate information. The agency continues to monitor the situation and will provide further updates if necessary.
