JEE 2013 : Normalization Procedure for Class XII Board Marks

Normalization Procedure for Class XII Board Marks

In view of large scale variations in the examination system in country, the JEE Interface Group (JIG) decided that for this year (2013), 50% of Boards marks be normalized by equating percentile amongst different boards/examining bodies and anchoring them to All India JEE-Main percentiles, and 50% be normalized by equating each Board’s/examining Body’s percentile with JEE(Main) percentile marks of respective Boards /examining bodies.

Accordingly, the detailed procedure for normalization of Board marks will be as follows:-

i. Note down the aggregate marks (A0) obtained by each student in JEE- Main.

ii. Compute the percentile (P) of each student on the basis of aggregate marks in his/her own board (B0) computed from the list of five subjects specified (each marked out of 100). The percentile is to be computed among all students of the board whose subject combinations meet the eligibility criteria of JEE-Main.

iii. Determine the JEE- Main aggregate marks corresponding to percentile (P) at the All- India level. Regard this as B1.

iv. Also, determine the JEE- Main aggregate marks corresponding to percentile (P) among the set of aggregate scores obtained in the JEE- Main by the students of that board. Regard this as B2.

The normalized board score of the candidate will be computed as:
Bfinal = 0.5 * (B1 + B2)

For the purpose of admission to CFTIs where it has been decided to use the JEE Mains performance and the Normalized Board performance in the 60:40 ratio, the composite score for drawing the merit list will be computed as:

C = 0.6 * AO + 0.4 * Bfinal,
Five subjects to be used for normalization:-
1. Physics
2. Mathematics
3. Any one of the subjects Chemistry, Biology, Biotechnology and Computer Science
4. One language
5. Any subject other than the above four subjects.

In respect of 3, 4 and 5, the best mark in a given category will be chosen.

CBSE has confirmed the printing error in question 26 of set III and has decided to give 6 marks irrespective of whether one has attempted it or not!

NEW DELHI: The Central Board of Secondary Education has decided to give six marks gratis to those who received set number three of the mathematics paper this year in which question number 26 was erroneous irrespective of whether or not they attempted the question.

The decision was taken by the experts’ committee. The erroneous differential equation was “(Xex/y+y) dx = xdy” where instead of ‘x/y’ it should have been ‘y/x’. CBSE has confirmed the “printing mistake”.

Being a six-mark question, students were in no mood to let it go and made numerous attempts to solve it, thereby losing time.

However, forums such as Parents Forum for Meaningful Education are questioning if such an error can ever be compensated simply by awarding full marks for it. Kusum Jain, an activist and a parent, said: “CBSE has been committing such mistakes repeatedly, especially in mathematics. How can one compensate for the loss of time, the stress and the fact that due to it some could not complete the paper?”

“How can they compensate by just awarding six marks? I could not revise my answers and may miss out on a couple of marks. This can completely mar my chances during admissions,” a student of DPS R K Puram who appeared for the exam said.
