VALIDITY OF NEET-PG RESULT The validity of the result of the NEET-PG shall be only for the current admission session i.e. 2013 admission session for MD/MS/PG Diploma courses and cannot be carried forward for the next session of admissions for MD/MS/PG Diploma. Kindly note that the schedule of admissions for MD/MS/PG Diploma courses is governed by Post Graduate Medical Education Regulations issued by Medical Council of India with prior approval of Central Government and the Judgments of Honble Supreme Court of India.

11.3

DECLARATION OF RESULT The results for NEET shall be declared by 31st January 2013. The mark sheet-cum-result certificate for the NEET-PG examination can be downloaded from the website www.nbe.gov.in/neetpg after the declaration of result.

11.4 11.5

DISPATCH OF RESULT The result will be displayed at NEET-PG website. TIE BREAKER CRITERIA In the event of two or more candidates obtaining same percentile, the merit

33

position shall be determined by the number of wrong responses of such candidates. Candidate with less number of wrong responses shall be placed at higher merit. In case of tie with same percentile rank and same number of wrong responses, date of birth shall be considered to determine inter-se-merit. An elder candidate shall be placed at a higher merit failing which marks obtained in qualifying exam i.e. MBBS shall be considered. 11.6 RESULTS EQUATING & SCALING The question paper of NEET-PG comprises of 240 multiple choice questions each with four options and only one correct response. Multiple question papers are used for NEET-PG for different sessions and days. A standard psychometrically-sound approach is employed for the scoring process of DNB CET. This approach has been applied to score all large scale Computer Based Examination utilizing multiple question papers. Step 1: Calculation of Raw Marks Raw marks are calculated based on the number of questions answered correctly, incorrectly or omitted. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer /Omitted Step 2: Raw Marks are equated While all papers (forms) are carefully assembled to ensure that the content is comparable, the difficulty of each form may be perceived by different subjects undertaking the test to slightly vary. Such minor differences in the overall difficulty level are accurately measured after all the different question papers (forms) have been administered and the results analyzed. A postequating process is necessary to ensure validity and fairness. Equating is a psychometric process to adjust differences in difficulty so that scores from different test papers (forms) are comparable on a common metric and therefore fair to candidates testing across multiple papers (forms). To facilitate this comparison, each form contains a pre-defined number of questions (items) selected from a large item bank, called an equating block, which is used as an anchor to adjust candidates scores to the metric of the item bank. Taking into account of candidates differential performance on these equating blocks, each individuals raw marks are adjusted for difference in paper (form) difficulties. During post-equating, test items are concurrently analyzed and the estimated item parameters (item difficulty and discrimination) are put onto a common metric. Item Response Theory (IRT), a psychometrically supported +1 point 0 point

34

statistical model, is utilized in this process. The result is a statistically equated raw score that takes into account the performance of the candidate along with the difficulty of the form administered. Step 3: Equated raw score is scaled In order to ensure appropriate interpretation of an equated raw score, the scores must be placed on a common scale or metric. A linear transformation is used for this scaling process, which is a standard practice for such test administration. Post equating takes into account any statistical differences in examination difficulty and ensures all candidates are evaluated on a common scale. The aforesaid steps ensure that all examination scores are valid, equitable and fair. Merit List shall be prepared on the basis of scaled score obtained by the candidates. 11.7 There is no provision for re-checking/re-totaling/re-evaluation of the question paper, answers, score/marks and no query in this regard will be entertained.

1.

How are raw scores calculated? Raw scores are calculated based on the number of questions answered correctly, incorrectly, or omitted. Each correct answer will be awarded one (1) point. Questions left unanswered /incorrectly answered will be awarded zero (0) point.

2.

What happens after raw scores are calculated? Like virtually all large-scale exams, NEET-PG will utilise multiple question papers, or versions, of the test. While all forms are carefully assembled to ensure that the content is comparable, the difficulty of each form may vary slightly. Such minor differences in the overall difficulty level cannot be accurately measured until after all of the forms have been administered and the results analysed. To facilitate this comparison, each form will contain a pre-defined number of questions selected from a large item bank that will be used for equating. By comparing candidate responses to these common questions across multiple forms, the ability level of the individuals can be evaluated and the precise difficulty of the question papers calculated. The raw scores are then adjusted, as necessary, through a process called equating. Equating assures fairness for all candidates by allowing accurate comparisons to be made of performance across all of the test papers. Equated raw scores are then placed on a common scale or metric to ensure appropriate interpretation of the scores. This process is called scaling. Lastly, once scaled scores are established, the final step is to rank candidates using percentiles.

47

3.

What is a percentile rank? A percentile rank is the percentage of candidates that fall below a given score. For example, a 75 percentile would imply that you have scored higher than 75% of the total NEET-PG test-takers.

4.

How will I know if Ive been successful in the NEET-PG? In order to be eligible for admission to any postgraduate course in a particular academic year, a candidate must obtain a percentile rank of 50* and above in the NEET-PG. These successful candidates will be given a merit position (rank) based on their scaled scores obtained in the NEET-PG. Distribution of PG medical seats will be allotted on the basis of NEET-PG merit. The merit list will also be published on the NEET website. * SC/ST/OBC candidates need to obtain a percentile rank of 40 and above to be eligible. * PWD candidates need to obtain a percentile rank of 45 and above to be eligible.

5.

What happens if I obtain the same percentile rank as another candidate? In the event two or more candidates obtain the same percentile rank, the merit position shall be determined by the number of wrong responses of these candidates. The candidate with the fewest number of wrong responses shall be placed higher on the merit list. If there is still a tie, date of birth shall be considered to determine inter-se-merit, i.e. an elder candidate shall be placed at a higher merit.

6.

When will the results of NEET-PG be available? The results of NEET-PG list will be declared on the NEET website www.nbe.gov.in/neetpg on 31 January 2013. Both the percentile rank and merit list will be made available. The results will also be sent to successful candidates by post.

7.

How long are my results valid for? The results for NEET-PG 2012 are only valid for the current admission session, i.e. 2013 admission for MD/MS/PG Diploma. Other Information

1.
