The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has started using a new way to make exam scores fair. This new method helps compare scores from different exam shifts. It makes sure that all candidates are treated equally, no matter which shift they took.
Why SSC Changed Its Score System
Sometimes exam shifts can be harder or easier. The old way of fixing scores looked at top scores and averages. Now, SSC uses a new method called equipercentile. This new way looks at how well a person did compared to others in their shift. It matches people who did equally well in different shifts. This makes it fair for everyone, even if some shifts were harder.
How the New Method Works
The new method looks at a persons rank in their shift. For example, if someone did better than 80 percent of people in their shift, they match with someone who did the same in another shift. This way, people who had harder questions wont lose out. SSC says this new method is better at making sure everyone is judged fairly. They will keep working to make their exams fair for all. The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has adopted a new method of normalisation of scores in different recruitment examinations conducted by it.

Thus, the new method ensures that candidates who faced certain problems relating to content in one shift wont be unfairly ranked compared to candidates in other shifts who didnt face similar problems.
