Understanding the Evaluation: Normalization & Qualifying Criteria
Many candidates often have questions about how marks are calculated in Railway exams. While large-scale exams like RRB NTPC or RRB Group D use complex normalization formulas due to multiple shifts, smaller exams like the Cultural Quota often follow a simpler evaluation process.
- Single Session Exam: Since the RRC SCR Cultural Quota exam was conducted on a single day (08.01.2026) for all 10 candidates, Raw Marks constitute the final score for the written stage. No normalization is typically required for single-shift exams.
- Merit Weightage: In Cultural Quota recruitment, the final merit list is usually drawn based on marks from the Written Test and the Practical Demonstration/Assessment of Talent. It is crucial to perform exceptionally well in the upcoming practical stage to secure your selection.
