What is normalization in RRB NTPC and how does it affect my marks?

Accepted Answer

Because CBT-1 is held in multiple shifts over several days, the RRBs apply a normalization formula so candidates are not advantaged or disadvantaged by an easier or harder shift. Your normalized score (not the raw score) is used for shortlisting and merit, so your final standing can differ slightly from your raw marks.

After the objection window closes on 5 July 2026, the RRBs finalize the answer key, apply normalization and publish the CBT-1 result, expected around July-August 2026 (tentative). Candidates equal to about 15 times the vacancies are shortlisted for CBT-2.
