According to NBEMS, the NEET PG 2024 scores would be generated using a normalisation process similar to that used in the scoring of the AIIMS INI-CET

The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has issued a notice explaining the normalisation procedure for the preparation of the results of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) PG 2024. The NEET PG 2024 exam is scheduled to be conducted tomorrow August 11.

According to NBEMS, the NEET PG 2024 scores would be generated using a normalisation process similar to that used by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi. This approach is also utilised for the AIIMS Institute of National Importance Combined Entrance Test (INI-CET).

The NBEMS stated in its official notice that it “has adopted the process which is currently being used by AIIMS-New Delhi for its various examinations conducted in more than one shift, including but not limited to INI-CET, in preparation of result for NEET-PG 2024.”

The NBEMS additionally cited a notification from AIIMS Delhi dated January 20, 2023, which said that the Percentile score is considered as the Normalised Score for the examination. The notification from AIIMS New Delhi went on to say that in order to avoid bunching and break ties between applicants, the percentile results for the test will be computed to seven decimal places.

This scoring approach assigns a percentage of 100 to the highest score attained in each shift. This implies that the highest scorer for each shift will have a percentile that represents the 100% of applicants who scored at or below their level.To ensure a clear distinction between applicants throughout shifts, each top score will be given a percentile of 100 within its particular group or shift.

The NBEMS’s recent warning comes barely a day after the Supreme Court dismissed a petition to postpone the NEET PG 2024. In addition to bringing up concerns about travel difficulties to the designated exam centres, the petitioners requested for applicants to be made aware of the normalisation methodology for the four sets of question papers in order to prevent any chance of bias in the selection process.
