IAF maintains integrity and correctness while preparing the result. The entire process of AFCAT result generation is automated. In case candidates find any discrepancies in the result, they should contact the examination authority.Â
Q: Â What is AFCAT normalisation of marks?
Q: Â How does the normalization process affect the AFCAT marks?
AFCAT normalisation is a process that is applied to data to adjust its values so that they conform to a standard scale or distribution. This is often done to make it easier to compare or analyse the data. In the context of marks or grades, normalisation can be used to adjust the scores or grades given by different teachers or evaluators so that they are comparable to one another. This can be done by converting the scores to a standardised scale, such as a percentile or Z-score, or by adjusting the scores based on factors such as the difficulty of the course or the performance of the class as a whole. It's important to note that normalisation can have an impact on the marks, as it can alter the scores or grades given to students. Some students may have their marks increased, while others may have them decreased, depending on how the normalisation process is applied. Additionally, some students and teachers may object to the use of normalisation, as they may feel that it is unfair or that it does not accurately reflect the student's performance.
Q: Â Why IAF initiated the AFCAT normalisation process?
AFCAT Exam was introduced in the year 2011 as an OMR-based paper but in 2019 the Computer Based Test (CBT) was initiated. In 2022, normalisation process was introduced in the exam process. The reason why the normalisation process was introduced in the AFCAT exam is given below:
- To maintain uniformity in the selection process and judge the merit of the candidates on a common notation
- Candidates might feel they have been evaluated unfairly as the paper they got in their shift was comparatively tougher than other shifts. Since the IAF could not have a similar question paper for all the shifts, so to end this feeling of unfairness in candidates’ scores, AFCAT normalisation was introduced.
Q: Â Why AFCAT marks are calculated using the normalisation process?
AFCAT marks are calculated using the normalisation process since the exam is conducted in multiple shifts. Normalisation of marks is done to adjust the difficulty level of the question papers since the exam is conducted in multiple shifts and dates. This is done to maintain transparency in the process.
