CBT Equi-Percentile Normalization Formula
For multi-shift CBT examinations, JKSSB applies standard equi-percentile normalization to equalize shift difficulty disparities. Percentile scores are calculated up to 7 decimal places using formula:
Percentile = (Number of candidates in shift with raw mark ≤ candidate's raw mark / Total shift candidates) × 100.
JKSSB Merit Tie-Breaking Hierarchy
