NPAT Score Normalisation

NPAT is held in multiple shifts on different days. As a result, the exam difficulty level may vary across all slots. Therefore, NMIMS adopts a normalisation process to ensure fairness in the process and in students' marks. In the normalisation process, the candidates' raw scores are compared with those of other students. To put it simply, here is a formula that uses the normalisation steps to get a candidate's marks, irrespective of the slot in which they appear. 

NPAT Percentile Calculation Formula: 

100 x (Number of students with a raw score equal to or less than the candidate) / (Total number of candidates)
