CTET Normalization Process 2024-25, Check Details

CTET Exam 2024 has been concluded on 15 December 2024 for Paper I and Paper II. CTET Exam was conducted on 14 December and 15 December 2024 in two shifts in offline mode OMR Sheets). Hence, candidates have started wondering whether the Central Board of Secondary Board (CBSE) will implement the Normalization Process or not. To know more about what the normalization Process is and whether will be implemented for the CTET result 2024 December Cycle or not, candidates are advised to check out the following article carefully.

CTET Result 2024

The CTET Exam Result 2024 will be released by CBSE soon on the official website. As the CTET Exam 2024 for Paper I and Paper II was successfully conducted on 14 December and 15 December 2024. The candidates can expect the announcement of the CTET Result 2024 in January 2025. In this article, we will discuss all the pertinent information and issues related to the CTET Result 2024 and the normalization process

CTET Normalization 2024-25

CTET Normalization Process was previously implemented when CTET Exam was conducted in online mode or CBT Mode. The online exam was conducted on multiple days in multiple shifts, hence, its necessary to implement the normalization process to cater to fair and transparent results. However, since CTET Exam was shifted to offline mode (OMR Sheet) on a single day the need for a normalization process was deemed unwarranted.

However, this year, the CTET Exam 2024 was conducted on two days, 14 December and 15 December 2024. Although, CTET Paper I was conducted only on 14 December 2024 in the second shift, CTET Paper II was conducted on both days in the first shift. Hence, there is a dire need for the CTET Normalization Process 2024-25.

What is Normalization?

Normalization is a process where values that are measured on different scales are adjusted to fetch rationalized results. This process is supposed to be adopted by the CBSE to fetch normalized results for the candidates appearing in CTET Offline Exam for December 2024.

With the normalization process, it becomes easier and more adequate to evaluate the performance of the candidates appearing for the exam on a similar basis on a balanced parameter. The difficulty level of each shift of the exam is considered and then a formula is applied to calculate the results for the same. The normalization is already adopted by other government exams like SSC for the same purpose.

Why is Normalization Expected in CTET Exam 2024?

As CTET Paper II has been conducted on two different days, two different sets of question papers has been used for this exam. hus, it could be said that the difficulty level of every question paper could have been invariably different from the other. Though CBSE had stated in their official notice that the difficulty level and the coverage of the syllabus for questions of CTET exam paper would be comparative same. However, implementation of the CTET Normalization process further ensure the fair checking and transparent CTET Result 2024.

How does the Normalization affect the score of the Candidates?

The normalization process ensures that the candidates are evaluated on a balanced parameter to ensure fairness towards the candidates. However, the questions remain, how can the normalization process affect the scores of the candidates?

Suppose, the difficulty level of Paper-II on a day is moderate to difficult (Let’s call it Set-A), whereas, the difficulty level of Paper-II on another day is easy to moderate (let’s call it Set-B). Let’s say the average score of candidates appearing for Set-A was 105 out of 150 total marks and the for Set-B it was 125 out of 150 total marks.

This huge gap in scores is the result of different difficulty levels. Under the normalization process, a formula will be used to calculate the scores. In the formula, the marks scored by the candidates and the actual number of valid questions in the various sets are taken as inputs.

This way the candidates do not have to rely on their fate of appearing for a hard or an easy question paper set. Hence, the score of the candidates will not be affected by the difficulty level of a particular set.

Will CTET Normalization Process be Implemented in CTET Exam 2024-25?

Although the CTET Normalization Process is not necessary for offline exams because most of them are conducted on a single day, there has been an exception. As Paper II was conducted on two days, there is a high probability that CBSE will implement the CTET Normalization process. However, there is no confirmation on the official notification regarding the implementation of the normalisation process if the exam is conducted on more than one day.
