Normalization of Marks and Inter-se Merit As per Tamil Nadu Act No. 3 of 2007 dated 05.03.2007, the marks obtained by the

students in the relevant subjects in the qualifying examination conducted by various Boards or

(100 x 60) / 90 = 66.66%

After normalization of marks in the relevant subjects in the qualifying examination
