| Bihar STET 2026 Normalization |
| Since the examination may be conducted in multiple shifts or on different dates, the notification provides for normalization of scores. The Normalized Score will be used to determine whether a candidate has qualified, rather than the raw score. For example, the notification explains that if a General category candidate obtains a raw score of 76 marks out of 150 but the normalized score becomes 74.90, the candidate would not meet the 50% qualifying requirement because 75 marks are required after normalization. |
