How NTA Score is Calculated
NTA scores are normalized scores across multi-shift papers based on the relative performance of all candidates who appeared in one shift. The marks obtained are transformed into a scale ranging from 100 to 0 for each shift of examinees.
Formula used:
NTA Score = (100 x Number of candidates in the Shift with raw score Equal To or Less than the candidate's score) / Total number of candidates who appeared in the Shift
Important: The NTA Score is not the same as the percentage of marks obtained. It reflects your performance relative to other candidates in the same shift.
