The Commission has adopted the following formula to calculate final score of candidates in the multi-session CBRT Examinations as recommended by the Experts’ Committee constituted by the Commission.
NORMALIZATION FORMULA
N.B. 1. Calculation of normalized marks will be done up to 5 decimal places.
2. Normalized marks of the candidate may vary from the original / absolute marks obtained.
