The basis for preparation of the provisional merit list shall be as follow: Marks of other universities will be normalized to 2400 marks which are 3 years aggregate marks of B.A./ B.Sc. (Gen.) of Punjab University. Similarly marks obtained by the candidates in the relevant subject will be normalized to 600 marks which is the total of 3 years aggregate marks of B.A./ B.Sc. (Genl.) of elective subjects of Punjab University. The normalization procedure is explained below. (a) The marks obtained by a candidate in B.A./ B.Sc. will be normalized on the basis of an aggregate. For example, if a student has scored 495 marks out of total of 900 marks in B.A./B.Sc., his normalized aggregate marks (out of 2400) would be: x 2400 = 1320. These marks will be denoted by X and called the Basic Merit Marks. (b) The marks in the relevant subject (i.e., the subject in which the admission is sought) will be normalized by changing the marks allotted to the relevant subject to 600 in order to give advantage of the subject to a candidate. For example, if a candidate has obtained 240 marks out of 300 in the relevant subject, then the normalized marks in the subject would be:- x 600 = 480 out of 600. These may be denoted by Y. Some universities award B.A./ B.Sc degree on the basis of aggregate marks of B.A./ B.Sc. 2nd and 3rd years. In that case the aggregate marks and the marks of the relevant subject in which the applicant is seeking admission, will be considered on the basis of marks obtained in B.A./ B.Sc. 2nd and 3rd years only for calculation, the basis merit marks and in the relevant subject.  In some cases, there could be students who have not studied the relevant subject, or the study of the subject is too elementary to be equated with the standard of B.A./ B.Sc. level of Panjab University in the subject in which they are seeking admission in Postgraduate course. For such category of student Y is taken to be zero. Candidates having passed B.A./ B.Sc. from other universities with 4 relevant subjects in addition to optional subjects at B.A./ B.Sc. level shall not be given any credit under Y, i.e. Y shall be taken to be zero. (c) Candidates who have passed B.A./ B.Sc./ B.Com.  With Hons. Either from Punjab University or from any other University would be given 15% weightage of the basic merit marks X obtained for the purpose of admission in Post-Graduate course in the subject in which Honours examination was passed. Similar weightage would be given to candidates who have passed B.A./ B.Sc./ B.Com.  Examination according to Hons. School like system specializing in one subject in which the admission is sought for the P.G. course. Explicity this weightage would be denoted by Z and calculated as follows: Z = X x . Candidates who have passed a Special degree from another University will be treated at per with B.A. examination of Punjab University with Honours in the relevant subject provided the B.A. Special Degree is recognized as equivalent to the corresponding B.A. with Honours Degree of Panjab University in the relevant subject. (d) Where no test is required for admission, the final Merit marks of a candidate would be X+Y+Z. Last date: 1.7.08.
