Th candidates as a consequence of differential level of examinations’ difficulty level set by the Staff Selection Commission while conducting the test of SSC CGL Tier-1 level raised an issue of calculating their marks before declaration of its result after normalising the scores. Normalisation of marks or the Z-score calculation as demanded by the students who appeared for the Tier-1 exam remained unaddressed by the authorities falling on their deaf ears. The normalisation decision is impending with the court still which is rumoured to be out soon in January 2018.
