Normalization of Marks and Inter-se Merit

As per Tamil Nadu Act No. 3 of 2007 dated 05.03.2007, the marks obtained by the
students in the relevant subjects in the qualifying examination conducted by various Boards or
Authorities shall be equated with the marks obtained by them in the same subjects in the
qualifying examination conducted by the State Board of Tamil Nadu by adopting the method of
normalization.

For example, if the highest mark secured by the student of State Board of Tamil Nadu
in Physics is 100 and the highest mark secured by a student of a Board other than Tamil Nadu
State Board in the same subject is 90, both the highest marks will be considered to be equal
to 100. If a student of the other Board secures 60 marks in Physics when the first mark in
Physics in the same Board is 90, then the 60 marks of the Board will be considered to be
equal to 66.66 marks of the Tamil Nadu State Board, as computed below:
(100 x 60) / 90 = 66.66%
After normalization of marks in the relevant subjects in the qualifying examination
conducted by the other Board, the qualified students of different Boards shall be ranked in a
common merit list. The common merit list will be prepared on the total marks of 200. In cases,
where more than one candidate have got the same marks in the common merit list, the inter-
se merit among such candidates shall be determined as per G.O. Ms. No.73, Animal
Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries (AH6) Department, dated 24-05-2007.
In cases, where more than one student have got the same marks in the common merit
list, the inter-se-merit among such students will be determined in the order of priority, as
