                         admission in PG courses along with students of other colleges who are directly under University of
                         Calcutta. It has been decided to follow a standardization method based on the pattern of Marks
                         distribution of both categories of students considering the parameters of Arithmetic Mean and
                         Standard Deviation.

                          It has been observed that for a sufficiently large sample, most of the distributions follow Normal
                         Distribution with two parameters Arithmetic Mean and Standard Deviation and by changing the
                          origin  and scale of the variable, the said distribution can be converted to Standard Normal
                         Distribution with Arithmetic Mean as zero and Standard Deviation as 1. Therefore applying the
                         change of origin and scale suitable to different distribution of marks all distribution can be
                         converted to Standard Normal Distribution and then all individuals may be merged and the merit
                         list may be generated from the converted and amalgamated figure.
