The CTET scores will be calculated based on the normalisation process. Normalisation is basically a method of measuring different values on different scales to obtain rationalised results. As the CTET test was held on different dates, many factors like the difficulty of the test, the number of candidates appearing had to be taken into account. Thus to ensure fair checking, CTET results are calculated via Normalised means.

CBSE has also released a “Normalisation Formula” based on which scores for different dates will be calculated. This formula will also consider the level of difficulty of different sets on the same test date hence candidates need not worry if their set was difficult, as CBSE will ensure fair grading of all answer copies.

CTET examination is conducted at two separate levels, Level 1 for teaching Primary classes (1st to 5th) and Level 2 for teaching Elementary classes (6th to 8th). For both these levels, 2 separate question papers are prepared and follow a different examination pattern.
