Understanding Your RRB Group D Results
After uploading your Response Sheet PDF, the calculator processes your answers and generates a detailed scorecard. Here is what each metric means and how it is calculated.
Raw Marks — Your total score after applying the marking scheme: +1 for each correct answer and -0.333 (one-third) deducted for each wrong answer. Unanswered questions carry zero marks.
Percentile Score — Calculated as (number of candidates who scored equal to or less than you ÷ total candidates in your shift) × 100, rounded to 5 decimal places as per official RRB methodology.
Normalized Marks — Your percentile is mapped to the base shift’s score distribution using linear interpolation. This ensures fair comparison across different exam shifts, following the exact formula prescribed by the Ministry of Railways.
Predicted Rank — Your estimated rank among all candidates who have used this tool, broken down by overall, zone-wise, and category-wise rankings. Accuracy improves as more candidates check their marks.

RRB Normalization Method — Official Formula
The Railway Recruitment Boards use a percentile-based normalization method approved by the Ministry of Railways to ensure fair evaluation across multiple exam shifts. This calculator implements the exact official formula.
Step 1: Percentile Calculation
Percentile Score = (Number of candidates scored equal to or less than you in your shift ÷ Total candidates in your shift) × 100, calculated to 5 decimal places.
Step 2: Base Shift Selection
The shift with the highest mean marks is selected as the base shift, provided it has at least 70% of the average candidate count across all shifts. Tie-breakers consider highest individual marks and highest attendance.
Step 3: Normalized Marks via Interpolation
Your percentile is mapped to the base shift’s score distribution using linear interpolation. If your percentile falls within the base shift range, standard interpolation applies. If it falls below the minimum base shift percentile, a separate extrapolation formula is used. The result is your normalized marks for merit ranking.
