JEE normalization formula for class XII marks confusing:

NAGPUR: Officials conducting the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) have revealed the formula to be used this year for normalization of class XII marks. However, experts feel this formula is too complex to be comprehended by students. This normalization of marks is being done so that the scores can be used for admissions to non-IIT institutes. Abhishek Bansal, who heads a national level coaching institute in Nagpur, said, "It is indeed a complicated formula and little chance that the layman will understand it. What they basically have decided is that the 40% weightage for board exams will be split further into half. The first 20% will be for board exams and the other 20% will be taken from JEE (Main) scores among that particular board's students."
