Here's the step-by-step procedure for normalization of UGC NET scores and preparation of UGC NET June 2024 result:
Step 1: Distribution of examinees in two shifts
Candidates will be distributed in two sessions randomly so that each has approximately equal number of students.
Step 2: Preparation of result for each session
The UGC NET exam result for each session will be prepared in the form of raw scores and percentile scores of total raw scores
The percentile score of a candidate is calculated as follows:
100 X Number of candidates appeared in the ‘Session’ with raw score equal to or less than the candidate / Total number of the candidates appeared in the ’Session’
Step 3: Compilation of NTA score and result preparation
The percentile score for the total raw score for all the sessions would be merged and will be called NTA scores which will be further used for preparation of UGC NET result 2024.
