Till the last GATE (GATE 2012), the formula used for GATE score calculation uses only marks scored in the paper, average marks of all students in that year, average marks of all students in across 4 years, standard deviation of all students in that year, and standard deviation of all students across 4 years. In the new formula to be used from 2013, the average and standard deviation terms do not refer to the entire population, but to a specific ability level (qualification marks and top 0.1% of students).
GATE score calculation has seen interesting change with the shift of focus towards student's ability level than the total aggregate. The old formula uses average and standard deviation of marks scored by all students. But in the new formula to be used from this year, the average and standard deviation terms do not refer to the entire population, but to specific ability levels (qualification marks and top 0.1% of students).
