Percentile Score:

Score Normalization Process
When the examination is conducted in multiple shifts across multiple days, score normalization is applied.
Why Normalization?

The exact formula used by NTA is not publicly disclosed, but generally follows statistical methods to equate scores across different forms of the test.
