CTET Normalisation Formula for Result, Cut Off 2022

CTET Normalisation- The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) conducts the Central Teacher Eligibility Test(CTET) twice every year. The CTET 2022 result is expected to release by February 15, 2022 on its official website ctet.nic.in. The latest 15th CTET was conducted for the December 2021 cycle as the eligibility test for the appointment of teachers for class-1st to 8th. This year, the CTET was conducted in multiple shifts. So, CBSE will adopt a normalisation process for the score calculation to bring uniformity in the difficulty level of all the question paper sets.

CTET Normalisation 2022

The CTET was held as an online computer-based test over multiple shifts during December 2021 and January 2022. To resolve the issue of varying difficulty levels of all the question paper sets, the CBSE has announced that a score normalisation process will be used to bring uniformity to the test. This is the first time that CBSE is planning to implement a normalisation process for CTET. This normalisation of the scores obtained by the candidates will allow the Board to prepare a fair CTET result.

What is Normalisation?

Normalisation means the process of balancing the values/scores originally calculated through different scales to form standardised uniform results. This normalisation process is being applied by the CBSE to prepare a balanced CTET result for all the candidates.

Since the CTET was held in multiple shifts, there is a possibility that the question paper sets for different shifts might have varying difficulty levels and cover different topics from the syllabus. Such a situation can affect the marks scored by the candidates who appeared in different shifts. So, the CBSE has decided to apply a normalisation formula while compiling the CTET result. This is to make sure that all the candidates’ scores are calculated on the basis of standard unbiased parameters.

How Will Normalisation Affect CTET Scores?

The normalisation of scores will help the Board to ensure that the candidates are evaluated without any unfair disadvantage due to varying difficulty levels of questions. The variation in the complexity of questions in different sets will no longer affect the candidate score.

The normalisation of the CTET score can be explained by the following example. If there are two question paper sets with easy to moderate, and moderate to difficult levels of questions respectively, then that would mean the candidates will score more in the first set than the second. This unfair variation in marks due to different question sets can be avoided by applying the normalisation formula to the scores. Under such normalisation, the difficulty level of questions, marks obtained by the candidates and the questions with average difficulty levels will be considered to deliver a balanced result.

CTET Cut-off Marks 

The general or unreserved category candidates are required to score at least 60% marks in the CTET to qualify for the test. This means that they need to score 90 marks out of 150 to be eligible to receive their CTET qualified certificate from the CBSE. The candidates belonging to other reserved categories might be given a little leniency with respect to the cut-off, as per the reservation policies set by the school management.

The CBSE will release the official cut-off marks with the CTET result on the website.  

Factors Affecting CTET Cut-off Marks

The minimum qualifying marks for unreserved category candidates is set to be 60%. However, the CTET cut-off marks for all the categories may be affected by the following factors:

• Total no. of candidates who appeared for the exam.
• Difficulty level of the question paper sets.
• Marks obtained by the candidates.
• No. of candidates clearing the minimum qualifying marks.
• Normalization

About CTET
