GATE 2026 Marks Normalization
The normalisation procedure for the GATE exam will be done for the exams conducted in multiple sessions. This process considers the difficulty level of the question paper in different sessions. The normalization formula for GATE 2026 is given below-
GATE 2026 Normalization Formula (M) = Mˉtg−Mg/Mˉts−Ms×(M−Ms)+Mg |
Here,
- M = Actual Marks Obtained by the candidate
- Ms = Mean of Marks of candidates
- Mg = Mean of Marks of all candidates
- Mts = Average of top 0.1% candidates’ marks
- Mtg = Average of top 0.1% candidates’ marks
How to Calculate GATE 2026 Score?
GATE Score is calculated by considering the raw marks of the candidates in GATE Result 2026. After the answers are evaluated, these raw marks will be allotted to the candidates. The authority calculates the GATE Score for the multi-session exam by converting the raw marks into normalized marks for any subject. Check the following table for the formula to calculate GATE 2026 Score.
GATE 2026 Score Calculation Formula = Sq + (St-Sq/Mt-Mq) x (M-Mq) |
Here,
- M = Marks Obtained by the candidate
- Mq = Qualifying Marks for General Category
- Mt = Mean of Marks of top 10 or 0.1% candidates
- Sq = GATE Score assigned to Mq (usually 350)
- St = GATE Score assigned to Mt (usually 900)
