What is normalization?
Experts say that normalization is when the number of candidates in an exam is more then it is conducted on different days or in two shifts. Different question papers are prepared for everyone. If the average marks of the candidates who appeared in the first shift is less or the attempts are also less then it is considered as a difficult paper. In this the average marks of the candidates remain low.
At the same time, if the candidates appearing in the second shift have more marks or more attempts then it is considered easy. Then comes the turn of preparing the overall result. Which is prepared on the basis of average marks. This process itself is called normalization.
