NOTICE

The Computer Based Test (CBT) for the post of Clerk and Peon will be
conducted on 15-Nov-2 024 to 17-Nov-2 024. Each examination will be
held in multiple shifts, with different question sets for each shift.

Please note that the Equi-percentile Method will be applied to

normalize the examination scores for the post of clerk and peon.

Details regarding the Equi-percentile Method are provided in

Annexure-I.

Candidates are encouraged to check the official website of Bank

Chandrapur regularly for updates. l

Methodology adopted for

Normalization of score for
CBT of

CLERK and PEON

(Pl. Note that the imaginary dates & figures are given in this presentation for illustration purpose only)
Percentage (%)
Percentage is a number or ratio expressed
as a fraction of 100.

Example:
A candidate has obtained 180 marks out of 200
Maximum marks. Then the % of marks calculated as
180
------ x 100 = 90 %
200
Percentile
Percentile of a candidate will reflect how many
candidates have scored below that candidate in that
batch.

Number of Candidates scored marks less than

particular marks in the Examination
in that particular respective Batch
Percentile of candidate = x 100
Total number of Candidates appeared for the
Examination for that particular respective Batch

Therefore, Percentage and Percentile are two different terms.

Example of Percentile

Example: Assume that total number of Candidates appeared for

examination in a particular batch are 14,618. Top Five Candidates
have scored 165 marks, what is the percentile of each Candidate?
Data:
1. Total no. of Candidates appeared = 14,618
2. Number of Candidates having marks 165 = 05 no.
3. Number of Candidates having marks below 165 = 14,618 - 05 = 14,613

Percentile of Candidate having marks 165 = (14,618-5)/14,618 X100 = 99.9657 = 99.966

Hence percentile of each Candidates having marks 165 is 99.966

Why Equi-percentile

• As the examination is conducted in multiple Shifts, the

question papers were different for each Shift, the marks
scoring pattern depends upon the difficulty level and it
varies from Shift to Shift.

• Due to this variation, Equi-percentile Method for

normalization of marks is adopted to take care of the difference
in difficulty level, so that no candidate feels he/she is at a loss
because he/she attempted a Shift which had tougher set of
questions.

Percentile calculation
Percentile of candidate obtained in the respective
batch is calculated batch wise i.e., Batch I, Batch II,
and Batch III using following formula;

Number of Candidates scored marks less than

particular marks in the CBT
2017 in that particular respective Batch
Percentile = x 100
Total number of Candidates appeared for the
CBT for that particular respective Batch
CBT-2017
• Calculation of Percentile of particular Candidate of Batch-
I(Shift 1, 10.0 am, 08/09/2017)
• Total number of Candidates appeared for the CBT-2017 for Batch I = 14,618
Percentile Calculation for the Candidate scored 165 marks.
• There are 05 Candidates scoring 165 marks
• Number of Candidates scored marks less than 165 marks in the CBT-2017
in Batch I= 14613

Number of Candidates scored marks less than 165 marks in the Percentile of Candidate CBT-2017 in Batch-I
having 165 marks = x 100
Total number of Candidates appeared for the CBT-2017 for Batch I

Percentile of Candidate having marks 165 = (14,618-5)/14,618 X100 = 99.9657 = 99.966

Percentile of Candidate having marks 163 = (14,618-9)/14,618 X100 = 99.9384 = 99.938

Percentile of Candidate having marks 162 = (14,618-15)/14,618 X100 = 99.8973 = 99.897

Percentile of Candidate having marks 161 = (14,618-26)/14,618 X100 = 99.8221 = 99.822

CBT-2017
• Calculation of Percentile for Batch II (Shift 2, 12.30 pm, 08/09/2017)
• Total number of Candidates appeared for the CBT-2017 for Batch II = 14,817
Percentile Calculation for the Candidate scored 155 marks out of 182.
• There only one Candidate scoring 155 marks
• Number of Candidates scored marks less than 155 marks in the CBT-2017 in Batch II= 14,816

Effect of Number of Candidates Scoring Same
score on percentile calculation

The percentile is depending upon

how many Candidates are having score
below that particular score.
How and what is equated
• Batch II percentile scale is considered as Reference,
as the number of Candidates appeared is more.
• Take the percentile of any batch other than Batch II
• Locate the percentile in the Batch II percentile scale
to map.
• If does not map follow the interpolation method
and find out the corresponding marks.
• The values of percentiles are arranged in the
descending order irrespective of the score obtained.
• The values of percentiles are the same as in
their respective batches.

Merit for Selection
• As the merit list will be based on the percentile
The selection of Batch I or Batch II or Batch III as
reference, will not affect the percentile of the
candidate.
5.1.2 Relative merit in case of equal marks and equal
percentile:

In the case of candidates securing equal CBT-2017 percentile, their relative merit will
be determined on the basis of the following order of preference:

i) Candidate who is older in age will be placed higher in the merit

ii) If the date of birth is also same, then the names are to be arranged in alphabetical
order to determine the merit.
