17 In order to evolve a common base for comparing the marks obtained by the candidates from various Based of Examinations (Refer Annexure-II), normalization procedure as outlined below will be followed. The marks obtained by the students in the relevant subjects in the qualifying examination conducted by the various Boards or Authority, shall be the equated with the marks obtained by the students in the same subjects in the qualifying examination, conducted by the State Board (i.e. state Board of School Examinations, Tamil Nadu), by adopting the method of normalization.

ILLUSTRATION: if the highest marks secured by a student of the State Board, in Physics is 100 and the highest mark secured by a student of any other Board (say X ), in the same subject is 90, then, both the highest marks will be considered to be equal to 100. If any other student of the other Board (i.e X ), is 90, then, 60 marks secured by such a student will be considered to be equal to marks as arrived at and given bellow: (100 x60) / 90 = After normalization of marks of the eligible students of different Boards, in the relevant subjects, the normalized marks obtained shall be merged into a common merit list. In cases, where more than one student have got the same marks in the COMMON merit List, the inter, the inter-se merit among such students shall be determined in the manner prescribed as para 5.3 below. For the purpose of normalization of marks of candidates from Other State, except for the B.Tech course, for all other such courses, wherever such quota is available, maximum marks obtained in the respective subjects, from among the various Boards under which the above candidate have actually studied and applied for a particular course, will only be considered.
