MAH 3-year LLB 2024: How marks are calculated

The state-level entrance exam for law admission was conducted for two days in multiple sessions. The question paper and difficulty level may vary as the exam was held for more than a day. In view of this, the CET Cell will be following an equated score computation method to ensure that no candidate is advantaged or disadvantaged because of the difficulty level of exams.

The officials calculate standard score and equated score to determine the merit. The method includes the following steps.

Step 1 – Find the mean and standard deviation of all the students considering it as one group.

Step 2 - Find the mean and standard deviation of all the sessions individually.

Step 3 – Find the standard score of each student with the respective mean and standard deviation.

Standard score is calculated using the formula = Total marks – mean of the batch divide by standard deviation of the batch.

Now the equated score is calculated by multiplying standard score and standard deviation considering all candidates as one group and adding mean considering all candidates as one group. The equated score will be rounded off to the nearest whole number.
