AP ICET 2026 was held in two sessions on April 28. Since the question paper will be different for each session, there is a possibility that the difficulty level of the exam paper may be slightly different. Hence, a normalisation process to eliminate any kind of variations in the difficulty level in exam papers is adopted. 

What is Normalization?
Normalization is a process to ensure that the “students are neither advantaged nor disadvantaged by the difficulty of examinations conducted in multiple sessions.” Normalization process ranks all the candidates across all sessions on a comparative scale. In any normalization process, the marks of the easier session may be reduced marginally and the marks of the harder paper may increase marginally on the global level, depending on the average performance in each session. If there is not much difference in the averages between two sessions then there will not be much difference in the normalized marks as well. Normalizing marks would justify the candidates while protecting their actual performance.

AP ICET Committee on normalization has deliberated extensively and decided to use the following normalization procedure.

where, SMS: (Average + Standard Deviation) of the session in which the candidate belongs to, GMS: (Average + Standard Deviation) of all the candidates across all sessions together, Top Average Session: Average marks of the top 0.1% of the candidates in the session in which the candidate belongs to, Top Average Global: Average marks of the top 0.1% of all the candidates across all sessions together.
