For example, if the highest score obtained by a student of a state board in Physics is 100 and the highest score obtained by a student of another board in the same subject is 96, “both the highest marks shall be treated as equal to 100, as per the bill passed in the House. .
“If a student of another board obtains 80 marks in Physics, when the top mark in Physics in the same board is 96, then 80 marks will be considered equal to 83.33 marks (100X80/96 = 83.33%),” it said. The same formula was adopted before 2017 after the abolition of entrance examinations for professional courses in Tamil Nadu.
After normalization of marks in the respective subjects in the qualifying examination, the qualified students will be merged into a common merit list. “In cases where more than one student has secured equal marks in the merit list, the inter-se merit among such students shall be determined in such manner as may be prescribed by rules made under this Act,” it said. .
