JEE (Main) 2013 and the Unwarranted Normalisation Formula</h1>
<div class="post-share">

 
 
 </div>
</div>
Ever since the ranks to the Joint
 Entrance Exam (JEE) main were released by the Central Board of 
Secondary Education (CBSE), a vehement opposition to the normalization 
process went viral across the nation. Many see this as hue and cry 
created by those who could not score well in the board exam. However, 
the situation is absolutely contrary to that. It is not a scuffle 
between those who have scored well and those who haven’t; it is a 
friction between those who have benefited by a prejudiced calculation 
and those who haven’t. 
What is normalization all about? 
For those of us who are yet to be abreast with what the normalization process is all about may want to read the following: 
The Normalization process is a 
method that enables the Human Resources Development (HRD) Ministry to 
take the marks of the board exam into account while awarding ranks to 
the students vying for entering into the coveted National Institutes of 
Technology (NITs) and Indian Institute of Information Technology 
(IIITs). The students and their counterparts were informed about a 
system of this kind coming into place sometime in December this year. 
However, the information made available to the students was not just 
misleading, it was ‘deceptive’. The students were informed that the 
board marks and the JEE (main) marks would be taken into account 
following a 40:60 ratio and that the sum of these ratios would be 
deciding their ranks. 
However, the system that was 
eventually put into action and the one that was initially pronounced are
 poles apart. The actual system followed by the CBSE was that the 
percentile equivalent of the board marks in the JEE mains would be the 
factor contributing to the 40% board weight-age and not the absolute 
percentile in the boards itself. 
For example, 
Student Name: XXXXXX 
<ol>
<li> Marks in JEE mains= 226 (a)</li>
<li> Percentile in JEE mains= 99.46 (b)</li>
<li>Percentage in the board exams (CBSE)= 90.4% (c)</li>
<li>Percentile in the board exams (CBSE)= 93.54 (d)</li>
<li>Marks obtained in the JEE (main) by a student who scored the same percentile (93.54 in the JEE main)= 129.6 (e)</li>
</ol>
Calculating the JEE main component= 226 (a) × 0.6= 135.6 
Calculating the Board exam component= 129.6 (b) × 0.4= 51.8 
Total= 187.4 
 
Why we have a problem with it? 
The reasons that make us strongly dispute this system are enumerated in the following points: 
1. The students were officially 
informed about this ‘appalling’ Normalization system in the second week 
of May 2013 which was 3 weeks after the JEE mains had taken place and  a
 whopping one and half month after the board exams took place. This 
terribly timed relaying of information left the students helpless and 
dazed about how it was going to affect their results. 
2. Different boards differ in terms 
of difficulty levels, number of students, checking procedures etc. The 
normalization process certainly gave an edge to the students taking 
their board exams from their respective states over those who took their
 board exams from Nationalized Boards.  In order to gauge the magnitude 
of difference between any two such students you may pay heed to the 
following example. 
Student Name= XXXXXX 
Board= CBSE 
Board Percentage= 90.2% 
Marks in JEE (main) = 267 
Rank= Beyond 5000 
 
Student Name= ZZZZZZ 
Board= Rajasthan Board 
Board Percentage= 90% 
Marks in JEE (main) = 195 
Rank= 4400 
 
3. IIIT-Hyderabad, which is one of 
the most coveted institutes that admit students through the JEE (main) 
pulled its admission procedure out of this system. After having realized
 the paucity of credibility of the ranks allotted by the CBSE, they 
started counting the marks in the JEE (main) as the sole yardstick for 
admitting students into its deemed campus. 
4. Almost a decade back the entrance
 to the IITs changed its pattern from partially subjective to purely 
objective. This decision was taken in purview of the fact that the 
subjective system could be flawed with bias and prejudice. The board 
exams, as we all know, are purely subjective in nature. The number of 
people who took the board exam this year was a humongous 9 lakhs. With
 so many copies to check one can hardly expect the teachers to be 
marking the exams without being victimized by the prejudice of ‘looking 
for good handwriting’. Now that the board marks are such huge governing 
factors, one can expect more calligraphists from the NITs than research 
workers!   
   
The effects that one can expect if such a system prevails 
1. Boards which were expected to be mere contributing factors would now be counted as deciding factors. 
2. The credibility and value of the NITs would drop considerably. 
3. Mr. Sibal, who was the HRD 
Minister when this system was proposed, claimed that he was working 
towards reducing the pressure on the students. However, looking at 
situation in perspective of the recent advancements, one can realize 
that this system would in fact increase the pressure on the students. 
This is because the students would now have to work in three tiers:- 
1. For the boards: In order to bag good ranks in the JEE (main). 
2. For the JEE (main): In order to qualify for the JEE (advance) (the entrance exam to the IITs, held in June) 
3. For the JEE (advance): In order to get admitted to the IITs. 
Any lay man, who would have read the above three points, can measure the magnitude of pressure the students are going to suffer. 
“To take care of the difference in 
Board marks (like CBSE topper has almost 100% and UP Board topper has 
82% etc. In that case if theoretically there is only 1 board then there 
should be no normalization and 60% of JEE mains should be added to 40% 
of Class XII. Even in this simple case this scheme will not do this. It 
will distort the Board marks. To me it looks a grossly unfair scheme.” 
said IIT Delhi professor Sanjeev Sanghi 
He also added, “The Students who had
 the aptitude and JEE (Main) score for good ranks suffered because luck 
played its part and they got less marks due to strict checking . The 
board exams became overall deciding factors.” 
Some Examples Supporting the above arguments 
1. Example to support the argument 
that boards are playing the role of deciding factors whereas the JEE 
(main) has become almost redundant: 
Student Name: XXXXXX 
Board: CBSE 
Marks in JEE (main): 99 
Board Percentage: 94.6 
AIR: 34000 (approximately.) 
   
Student Name: ZZZZZZ 
Board: CBSE 
Marks in JEE (main): 135 
Board Percentage: 90 
AIR: 60000 (approximately.) 
NOTE: Student XXXXXX could not even surpass the cut off (113 marks) set for being allowed to take the JEE (advance) 
   
2. Example to support the argument that different boards differ radically in terms of their competition levels. 
Student Name= XXXXXX 
Board= CBSE 
Board Percentage= 90.2% 
Marks in JEE (main) = 267 
Rank= Beyond 5000 
 
Student Name= ZZZZZZ 
Board= Rajasthan Board 
Board Percentage= 90% 
Marks in JEE (main) = 195 
Rank= 4400 
 
3. Example to explain how major the role played by the boards was 
 Student Name: XXXXXX 
Board: CBSE 
Marks in JEE (main): 201 
Board Percentage: 88 
AIR: 23000 (approximately.) 
 
Student Name: ZZZZZZ 
Board: CBSE 
Marks in JEE (main): 201 
Board Percentage: 94 
AIR: 9000 (approximately.) 
 
NOTE: A difference of 6% in the board 
exams attributed to a difference of 14000 ranks. This implies that every
 percent scored in the board exam was worth a monstrous 2334 rank 
difference. 
Student Name= XXXXXX 
Board= CBSE 
Board Percentage= 93.8 
Marks in JEE (main) = 155 
Rank= 23000 (approximately) 
 
   
Student Name= ZZZZZZ 
Board= CBSE Board 
Board Percentage= 88% 
Marks in JEE (main) = 201 
Rank= 23000 (approximately)</div>
