Online CWE for recruitment of Probationary Officers/ Management Trainees
in Participating Organisations (CWE-PO/MT-III)

I.

Process for Arriving at Scores
The Scores are obtained by adopting the following procedure:
(i)

Number of questions answered correctly by a candidate in each objective test is considered for
arriving at the Corrected Score after applying penalty for wrong answers.

(ii)

The Corrected Scores so obtained by a candidate are made equivalent to take care of the minor
difference in difficulty level, if any, in each of the objective tests held in different sessions to
arrive at the Equated Scores*.
*

Scores obtained by candidates on any test are equated to the base form by considering the
distribution of scores of all the forms.

(iii)

Note:

Final scores in each test are rounded off to the nearest integer

Cutoffs were applied in two stages:
(i)

on scores in individual tests

(ii)

on Total Score

The details of the cutoffs applied on Scores in individual tests and on Total Score is given below at (II)
and (III) respectively.
