TEST PRACTICE CENTRES

12.1. TEST PRACTICE CENTRES (TPCs)

The Ministry of Education has mandated the NTA to set up, establish and create a network of
Test Practice Centres for candidates, especially in remote and rural areas to enable them to
practice and be comfortable in taking a Computer Based Test (CBT). This facility is
completely free of cost. Candidates can register online (on the NTA website) where they are
provided a convenient TPC near their location to practice on a given computer node. This
facilitates the process of being able to take a Computer Based Test (CBT).

The entire experience of using a computer is close to the actual experience of taking a CBT.
All efforts are made to provide practice tests and questions so that candidates can familiarize
themselves with logging into the system, go through the detailed instructions regarding the
test, use the mouse or numeric keyboard on-screen (virtual) for attempting each question,
scroll down to the next question, navigate between questions, review and edit their options
and submit answer (refer to Appendix VI for details).

NTA: Test Practice Centres (TPCs)

What is a Test Practice Centre (TPCs)?

The Ministry of Human Resource Development mandated the NTA to set up, establish and
create a network of Test Practice Centres for candidates, especially in remote and rural areas to
enable them to practice and be comfortable in taking a Computer Based Test (CBT). This
facility is completely free of cost. Candidates can register online (on the NTA website) where
they are provided a convenient TPC near to their location to practice on a given computer
node. This facilitates and eases the process of being able to take a Computer Based Test
(CBT). The entire experience of using a computer is close to the actual experience of taking a
CBT. All efforts are made to provide practice tests and questions so that candidates can
familiarize themselves with logging into the system, go through the detailed instructions
regarding the test, use the mouse or numeric keyboard on-screen (virtual) for attempting each
question, scroll down to the next question, navigate between questions, review and edit their
options and submit questions.

The objective of TPCs is primarily to organize test practice for the upcoming NTA
examinations.

Appendix - VII

Procedure to be adopted for compilation of NTA scores for multi-session Papers

(Normalization procedure based on PERCENTILE SCORE)

NTA may conduct examinations on multiple dates, generally in two sessions per day. The
candidates will be given different sets of questions per session and it is quite possible that in spite
of all efforts of maintaining equivalence among various question papers, the difficulty level of
these question papers administered in different sessions may not be exactly the same. Some of the
candidates may end up attempting a relatively tougher set of questions when compared to other
sets. The candidates who attempt the comparatively tougher examination are likely to get lower
marks as compared to those who attempt the easier one. In order to overcome such a situation,
“Normalization procedure based on Percentile Score” will be used for ensuring that candidates
are neither benefitted nor disadvantaged due to the difficulty level of the examination. With the
objective of ensuring that a candidate’s true merit is identified and that a level playing field is
created in the above context, the Normalization Procedure, set out below shall be adopted, for
compiling the NTA scores for multi-session papers.

The process of Normalization is an established practice for comparing candidate scores

across multi-session papers and is similar to those being adopted in other large educational
selection tests conducted in India. For normalization across sections, NTA shall use the
percentile equivalence.

Percentile Scores: Percentile scores are scores based on the relative performance of all those who
appear for the examination. The marks obtained are transformed into a scale ranging from 100 to 0
for each session of examinees.
The Percentile Score indicates the percentage of candidates that have scored EQUAL TO OR
BELOW (same or lower raw scores) that particular Percentile in that examination. Therefore
the topper (highest score) of each session will get the same Percentile of 100 which is
desirable. The marks obtained in between the highest and lowest scores are also converted to
appropriate Percentiles.

The Percentile score will be the Normalized Score for the examination (instead of the raw
marks of the candidate) and shall be used for the preparation of the merit lists.

The Percentile Scores will be calculated up to 7 decimal places to avoid the bunching effect
and reduce ties.

The Percentile score of a Candidate is calculated as follows:

100 X Number of candidates appeared in the ‘Session’ with raw score EQUAL TO OR LESS
than the candidate
The total number of the candidates who appeared in the ’Session’

Note: The Percentile of the Total shall NOT be an aggregate or average of the Percentile of the
individual subject. The percentile score is not the same as the percentage of marks obtained.
Example: Suppose a test was held in 4 sessions of examinees as per details given below:
(Allocation of Days and shifts were done randomly)
(a) The distribution of candidates were as follows:
Session-1: Day-1 Shift-1, Session-2: Day-1 Shift-2, Session-3: Day-2 Shift-1

67
 INFORMATION BULLETIN: CUET (UG) - 2022

and Session-4: Day-2 Shift-2

Session Day/Shift No of Candidates Marks

Session-1 Day-1 Shift-1 3974 28012 31986 335 -39
Session-2 Day-1 Shift-2 6189 32541 38730 346 -38
Session-3 Day-2 Shift-1 6036 41326 47362 331 -49
Session-4 Day-2 Shift-2 9074 40603 49677 332 -44
Total 2527 142482 16775 346 -49
(Session-1 to Session-4) 3 5

In this method of scoring the HIGHEST RAW SCORE in each paper (irrespective of the raw
scores) will be the 100 Percentile indicating that 100% of candidates have scored equal to or
lesser than the highest scorer/ topper for that session.

Highest Raw Score and Percentile Score: All the highest raw scores will have a normalized
Percentile Score of 100 for their respective session.

STEP-BY-STEP PROCEDURE FOR NORMALIZATION AND PREPARATION OF

RESULT:

Step-1: Distribution of Examinees in two shifts:

Candidates have to be distributed into two sessions randomly so that each session has an
approximately equal number of candidates. These two sessions would be as follows:

Session-1: Day-1 Shift-1, Session-2: Day-1 Shift-2

In the event of a more number of days or less number of shifts, the candidates will be
divided accordingly.

70
 INFORMATION BULLETIN: CUET (UG) - 2022

This will ensure that there is no bias in the distribution of candidates who shall take the
examination. Further, with a large population of examinees spread over the entire country
the possibility of such bias becomes remote.

Step-2: Preparation of Results for each Session:

The examination results for each session would be prepared in the form of
 Raw Scores
 Percentiles Scores of Total raw scores.

The Percentiles would be calculated for each candidate in the Session as follows:
Let TP1 be the Percentile Score of Total Raw Score of that candidate.

No. of candidates appeared from the session with raw score

Total Percentile 100
EQUAL TO OR LESS than T1 score
(TP1) : X
Total No. of candidates appeared in the session

Step-3: Compilation of NTA score and Preparation of Result:

The Percentile scores for the Total Raw Score for all the sessions (Session-1: Day-1 Shift-
1, Session-2: Day-1 Shift-2) as calculated in Step-2 above would be merged and shall
be called the NTA scores which will then be used for the compilation of results and
further processing for deciding the allocation.
