NBEMS has released a notice explaining the normalization process for the NEET PG exam. According to the notice, a normalized score will be calculated using the formula used by AIIMS Delhi.

The score is important for students who want to secure admission to prestigious medical programs and colleges. Moreover, knowing their expected rank helps them plan their preparation accordingly.

NEET PG Exam Normalization Process

1. Purpose: To ensure fair assessment for candidates taking the exam in different shifts.
2. Factors considered:
   • Difficulty level of each test
   • Candidate’s performance
   • Performance of other candidates in the same shift
3. New this year:
   • NEET PG will be conducted in two shifts for the first time
   • The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has explained the normalization procedure
4. Process:
   • Similar to AIIMS Delhi’s method for multi-shift exams
   • Considers the number of incorrect answers
5. Ranking criteria:
   • The higher percentage of outperformance = Higher rank
   • In case of a tie (same number of correct answers):
     • The older candidate gets a higher rank

Shift-based ranking

NEET PG 2024 exam details:

• Date: August 11, 2024
• 200 questions, maximum score of 700 marks
• Students found it moderate to difficult
• Required for MD/MS and PG Diploma admissions
• Shifts: Two (9 AM – 12:30 PM and 3:30 PM – 7:00 PM)
• Locations: 170 cities, 416 exam centers
• Admit cards issued: 2,28,540 students
• Staff deployed: Over 1,950 independent appraisers and 300 flying squad members

Results process:

• NBEMS will use a shift-based ranking system
• Similar to AIIMS New Delhi’s method for multi-shift exams
• Raw marks will be converted to percentile scores
• Percentiles allow for a fair comparison across different shifts
• A higher percentile means better performance compared to other candidates

This method helps level the playing field for all test-takers, regardless of which shift they took the exam in.

Features of NEET PG Normalization Process

The NEET PG exam uses a normalization process to fairly evaluate all candidates, regardless of which exam shift they take. This process:

1. Helps balance out differences in exam difficulty
2. Ensures all candidates are ranked equally
3. Uses a percentile-based method for scoring
4. Assign 100 percentile to the top scorer in each shift
5. Converts lowest scores to percentiles
6. Calculates percentiles to seven decimal places to reduce ties

The Supreme Court recently rejected a request to postpone the exam, despite concerns about travel and the normalization formula. The court decided that delaying the exam would harm the careers of over 2 lakh students.

Understanding this process can help you better prepare for the exam and improve your chances of getting an MBBS seat.

The NBEMS has explained how they’ll calculate NEET PG results:

1. They’ll use a “normalization” process, which AIIMS New Delhi also uses.
2. This helps compare scores fairly when the exam is given in different shifts with varying difficulty.

Wrap Up

To sum up, NEET PG 2024 is using a new two-shift format and a fair scoring system. This system, based on percentiles, helps make sure all students are judged equally, no matter which shift they take. The exam is happening in many cities with careful oversight.

By understanding how the scoring works, students can better prepare for the exam and plan their future in medicine. This approach shows that the organizers want to make the exam fair for everyone as they compete for spots in postgraduate medical programs.
