If the AICE-JRF/SRF (Ph.D.) is conducted in more than one Session Shifts, the following procedure will be followed in ensuring equivalency in the difficulty level : - (i) Raw marks obtained by the candidates in different shifts/sessions will be converted to NTA Score (percentile). (ii) In case a subject test is conducted in multi-shifts, NTA Score will be calculated corresponding to the raw marks obtained by a candidate. The calculated NTA Score for the Raw Marks for all the shifts/sessions will be merged for further processing fordeciding the allocation. (iii) In the events of the percentilesforthe multi-shifts being dissimilar/ unequal, the lowest will be the eligibility cut-off for that category for all candidates (i.e. all shifts). For Example: In an the examination held in two shifts, if the 40% marks correspond to aPercentile score of 78 in Shift 1 and 79 in Shift 2, then all those equal to or above 78 percentiles (Percentile score of 100 to 78) in both shifts will become eligible in General Category.
