State television says he will deliver address the nation later Tuesday.

Many protesters seen holding a coffin that is said to contain the body of a demonstrator killed in an earlier rally.  Health Ministry of Egypt says at least 29 protestors have died in agitation over the past four days, during clashes between security personals and demonstrators. Three people died on November 21 in the Red Sea port city of Ismailiya.

Scaling is the Root Cause of JPSC PT Result Saga

The scaling is the statistical parametermer utilised by the exam conducting body to moderate the exessive advantage of the perticular subject in the examination.

The methodology has developed by the experts who has mase a software to handle the data of students.

Union Public Service Commission was doing scaling system prior to CSAT adoptation but now they have dumped due to its faulty output that was killing the merit but this is still followed by the UPPSC,RPSC,JPSC is different from.

UPPSC follows standard deviation method to balance the result for its examinations, the UPSC’s scaling method was based on the Normalized Equi-Percentile (NEP) method for the optional objective type papers in the Preliminary Examination.

The Normalised Equi-Percentile(NEP) method was followed by the UPSC. NEP method is based upon the assumption of comparability among candidates taking various optional subjects. It is fair to assume that the mental ability of asparants in all optional subjects are about the same at very score range.

For an example that top band of any optional candidates are comparable in ability to the top band of  other candidates. This assumption extendes to other score range such as 10%, 15%, 20% etc. Thus, it is possible to statistically adjust the scores in various optional  papers .

As the number of students for each subject is large it is reasonable to assume that the scaled marks should lie on a normal distribution curve. For the normal distribution curve of every optional subject, mean of 150 and standard deviation of 30  have been taken.

The scaled scores are computed using the standard Statistical Tables-Areas under the standard normal curve-Annexure II (Colly). It also contains the statistical tables-areas under the standard normal curve as given in Schuam’s Outline Series, Theory and Problems of Statistics SI(metric) edition.

At any given conditions Normalized Equi-Percentile will never exceeds the maximum marks .JPSC has adopted wrong formula that inflated the scaled marks to beyond maximum marks . candidate obtain more than 100% marks,under Normalized Equi-Percentile .

JPSC struggling to find the way

Ranchi,Nov,20:Struggle of JPSC to find the amicable solution is still on, despite of getting the expert panel report on correct answer.

The confusion is mounting among the students because the new model answer certainly show the exit way to the several  sucessful students as more than 100 question in all across 24 optionals are found wrong in JPSC Model answer.

However it is still unclear that what JPSC will do with the erronious scaling methology that has inflated the marks of the student more than total marks.

Applicants are asking to withdraw the scaling system and adapt proportional representation as per optional subject.

It seems the sociology optional people will suffer most because as per sources about 30 answer were corrected.

Even the minor diffrence in the new marks will change the chemistry of the result.
