SSC CGL 2019 NORMALIZATION
SSC CGL 2019 Tier 2 normalization made a lot of buzzes as it devastated many dreams actually to those who were at the boundary of average marks or below that.
Now let’s Understand what actually happened.
SSC CGL 2019 Tier 2(mains) paper was scheduled on 15,16 and 18 November 2020.
The exam of maths on 15 and 16 was as usual as earlier SSC mains paper but the exam on 18 was very very easy as compared to the exams on 15 and 16.
What it actually impacted was that the average raw marks of students of the 18th November shift increased to around 190 but the average raw marks of students on 15 and 16 were around 155-160.
Due to this a drastic increase in 15 and 16 and a drastic decrease in 18 Nov. shift was seen.
Note that the marks have been reduced only for those candidates whose marks were below average.
Now the main thing is that for normalization SSC has the formula to calculate whether the marks should increase or decrease, it has nothing to do with the name or address of the candidate. It is simply a formula we have to input required data and the normalized marks will come out.
So blaming normalization is totally wrong, what’s wrong here is that SSC did not set three different papers of approx the same difficulty level.
Normalization will play a fair role only if there will be a minor difference in difficulty level.
