Shift-wise Percentile Analysis (Morning vs. Evening Shifts):

Evening shifts generally show higher marks for the same percentile compared to morning shifts. For example, the 24 Jan Evening shift required 200 marks for a 99 percentile, whereas the 28 Jan Morning shift required only 148 marks (a huge difference of 52 marks). Similarly, in the April session, the 2 Apr Evening shift had the highest 99 percentile cutoff of 203 marks, while the 2 Apr Morning shift required 173 marks (a difference of 30 marks). This significant variation between shifts highlights the difficulty level variations and the necessity of NTA's normalization process.
