<h2 id="content-id-96316-4"><strong>SSC CHSL Marks Normalization </strong></h2>

<p>Let's now explore the concept of marks normalization. A statistical method called "marks normalization" is used to account for differences in question paper difficulty between exam shifts. Through score equalization, this technique promotes impartiality and allows for a more realistic evaluation of your performance even in the face of varying question difficulty.</p>

<p>To ensure fairness, normalization equalizes scores using a standardized formula. SSC has released a formula for this purpose, detailed in <a href="https://study.kdcampus.live/admin/assets/uploads/ckeditor/Normalization_Formula_for_SSC_07.02.2019.pdf">Notice No.1-1/2018-P&P-I dated 07-02-2019</a>. These normalized scores are crucial in determining cut-off marks and compiling the merit list.</p>

<h2 id="content-id-96316-5"><strong>SSC CHSL Exam Dates 2024</strong></h2>

<p>The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) released the <a href="https://ssc.gov.in/api/attachment/uploads/masterData/NoticeBoards/Notice%20of%20CHSLE%202024_05_04_24.pdf">SSC CHSL notification 2024</a> on 8 April 2024, initiating the application process.
