Percentile and Normalization procedure:
(i) For multi-shift papers, raw marks obtained by the candidates in different shifts/sessions will
be converted to NTA Score (percentile).

(ii) In case a subject test is conducted in multi-shifts, NTA Score will be calculated corresponding
to the raw marks obtained by a candidate. The calculated NTA Score for the Raw Marks for all
the shifts/sessions will be merged for further processing for deciding the allocation.

(iii) In the events of the percentiles for the multi-shifts being dissimilar / unequal, the lowest will be the eligibility cut-off for that category for all candidates (i.e. all shifts).

For Example: In an the examination held in two shifts, if the 40% marks correspond to a Percentile score of 78 in Shift 1 and 79 in Shift 2, then all those equal to or above 78 percentiles (Percentile score of 100 to 78) in both shifts will become eligible in General Category. Similar method will be adopted for the other categories to determine eligibility cutoffs. In case the examination is held in more number of shifts the same principle shall apply.
