The SSC CGL normalisation process has sparked confusion among Staff Selection Commission (SSC) aspirants, with many questioning its fairness and accuracy. Normalisation is designed to balance score variations across different shifts due to varying difficulty levels, often leading to unexpected score changes.
Since question papers can vary in difficulty, normalisation helps create a level playing field by using a statistical formula.
The normalisation is done based on the fundamental assumption that “in all multi-shift examinations, the distribution of abilities of candidates is the same across all the shifts”. This assumption is justified since the number of candidates appearing in multiple shifts in the examinations conducted by the Commission is large and the procedure for allocation of examination shift to candidates is random.
The following formula will be used by the Commission to calculate final score of candidates in the multi-shift examinations:

The calculation of marks will be done up to five decimal places.
The Commission declared the final result of the Combined Graduate Level (CGL) 2024 exam on March 12. The final result of the SSC CGL 2024 is available at ssc.gov.in. The category-wise cut-off for all the posts has also been announced. A total of 18,174 candidates have been provisionally recommended for appointment.
