Normalization Procedure for D.El.Ed. Scores
Normalization Procedure for D.El.Ed. Scores
For [Link]. (Odia) the examination is held in multiple shifts, the raw score for
each candidate converted into Score (Percentile Score & Normalized Score) in
the following three steps.
rP }C
Let the raw marks of the six candidates be 𝑥𝐴, 𝑥𝐵, 𝑥𝐶 (shift S1 marks) and
𝑦𝐷, 𝑦𝐸, 𝑦𝐹 (shift S2 marks).
For candidates A, B, C, the percentiles are calculated using the total marks
obtained by candidates appearing in shift S1 (in the same subject) as explained
above.
Similarly, for candidates D, E, F, the percentiles are calculated using the total
marks obtained by candidates appearing in shift S2 (in the same subject) as
explained above.
Let the respective percentiles be denoted by PA, PB, PC, PD, PE, PF.
The above data is summarised in the following table. The terms in red colour
indicate that these are the output of this step.
Shift S1 Shift S2
Candidate Raw score Percentile Candidate Raw score Percentile
A PA D PD
B PB E PE
C PC F PF
Since the calculation for percentiles in any shift depends only on the data from
that shift alone, there is a separate table for each shift.
Step2: Pull-back of the percentiles to the marks scale for each session to get
Normalised Score.
The data across all sessions tabulated at the end of step 1 is collated
into a single table.
The columns for the shift-wise raw score should are kept separate.
All the records are then sorted in decreasing order of the percentiles.
Illustration (Continued):
Candidate C from shift S1 and candidate F from shift S2 have the same
percentile. The relevant entries under “Raw Score S1” and “Raw Score S2”
are the actual raw scores 𝑥𝐶 and 𝑦F respectively. This has the obvious
interpretation that marks 𝑥𝐶 of shift S1 are equivalent to marks 𝑦𝐹 of shift
S2.
rP C
}
Candidates A and B, appearing in shift S1, have a blank entry in column
“Raw Score S2”, as there is no corresponding candidate having exactly the same
percentile from shift S2. Similarly, Candidates D and E, appearing in shift
S2, have a blank entry in column “Raw Score S1”, as there is no
corresponding candidate having exactly the same percentile from shift S1.
In the remaining part of this Step 2, the blank entries in the two “Raw Score”
columns are filled up using linear interpolation.
Consider a record (row) whose entry in the column “Raw Score S1” is
blank. The blank will be replaced by the interpolated score X which is
calculated as:
𝑥2 − 𝑥1
𝑋 = 𝑥1 + (𝑃 − 𝑝1)
𝑝2 − 𝑝1
Where:
Note that there may be several blank entries between x1 and x2.
All the blank entries in column “Raw Score S1” can now be replaced by
the interpolated values.
The blank entries in column “Raw Score S2” are also replaced using a
similar procedure.
Illustration (Continued):
The table in the illustrative example would look like the following, where the
entries in red indicate the addition output at the end of this step.
Candidate Percentile Raw Score S1 Raw Score S2
E PE XE 𝑦𝐸
A PA YA
C&F PC=PF 𝑦𝐹
B PB YB
D PD XD 𝑦𝐷
rP C
}
Step3: Calculation of the Normalised Score
Now for each subject there is a score assigned to each percentile value for
each session. The Normalised score, Z, corresponding to a percentile value
P, is calculated as: 𝑢𝐴 + 𝑢𝐵 + 𝑢𝐶+,…..+ 𝑢𝑡
Z= Average of (𝑢 , 𝑢 , 𝑢 , … … … . . 𝑢 )=
𝐴 𝐵 𝐶 𝑡 t
Where 𝑢𝐴, 𝑢𝐵, 𝑢𝐶, … … … . . 𝑢𝑡 denote the raw scores corresponding to the percentile P in
each of different sessions
Illustration (Continued):
E PE XE 𝑦𝐸 (XE + 𝑦𝐸)/2
A PA YA (𝑥𝐴 +YA)/2
C&F PC=PF 𝑦𝐹 (𝑥𝐶 + 𝑦𝐹)/2
B PB YB (𝑥𝐵 +YB)/2
D PD XD 𝑦𝐷 (XD + 𝑦𝐷)/2

Normalized marks.

In the remaining part of this Step2, the blank entries in the Raw Score Columns
are filled up using following linear interpolation Formulae:
𝑥2 − 𝑥1
𝑋 = 𝑥1 + (𝑃 − 𝑝1)
