Cut-off marks for CBSE Board students

For CBSE students, the marks obtained by the students in the relevant subjects in the qualifying examination conducted by various Boards or Authority shall be equated with the marks obtained by the students in the same subjects in the qualifying examination conducted by the State Board of Tamil Nadu by adopting the method of normalization.

Normalization Process

If the highest mark secured by the student of State Board of Tamil Nadu in Physics is 100 and the highest marks secured by a student of any other Board in the same subject are 95 both the highest marks will be considered to be equal to 100. If a student of the other Board secures 70 marks in Physics when the first mark in Physics in the same Board is 95, 70 marks will be considered to be equal to 73.68

100 x 60 / 95 = 73.68%

After normalization of marks in the relevant subjects in the qualifying examination conducted by different Boards, the qualified students shall be merged into a common merit list.
