    How Normasalition Affects Percentiles?

    NTA uses a process called normalization to ensure a level playing field for all candidates across different exam shifts. If one particular shift is more difficult lower raw marks would lead to a higher percentile. On the other hand, for an easier shift, candidates would require higher raw scores to achieve the same percentile. Consequently, students must not be concerned if they feel their shift was more difficult than others.
