The scores of the candidates who appear in the SSC CGL 2018 will be normalized to account for any difference in the difficulty level of the question papers in different shifts.
In an official release SSC had said, "The normalization is done based on the fundamental assumption that "in all multi-shift examinations, the distribution of abilities of candidates is the same across all the shifts". This assumption is justified since the number of candidates appearing in multiple shifts in the examinations conducted by the Commission is large and the procedure for allocation of examination shift to candidates is random."
SSC will also release provisional SSC CGL answer key and allow the facility to submit any objection on the initial key. After resolution of the objections on provisional answer key, final answer key will be prepared. The raw score and consequently normalized score will be prepared on the basis of the final answer key.
