I. Process for Arriving at Scores

The Scores of Online Main Examination are obtained by adopting the following procedure:
(i) Number of questions answered correctly by a candidate in each objective test is considered for
arriving at the Corrected Score after applying penalty for wrong answers.
(ii) The Corrected Scores so obtained by a candidate are made equivalent to take care of the minor
difference in difficulty level, if any, in each of the objective tests held in different sessions to
arrive at the Equated Scores.
(iii) Final scores in each test are rounded off to two digits after the decimal point.

Note: Cutoffs were applied in two stages:

(i) on scores in individual tests
(ii) on Total Score
The details of the cutoffs applied on Scores, of online examination, in individual tests and on Total
