In Uttar Pradesh, a new tradition has been started of selecting B.Ed degree holders for a job in Primary Schools and it has been named "Vishisht BTC". Applying their own logic, the ruling governments use variuos criterion to select the candidates. The basic problem is that they have to choose candidates on the basis of merit of their marks in various exams. Now, it is well-established fact that marking is not similar in all universities/colleges. So for a same exam, there can be much inter-university as well as intra-university variation in marks given to students. The point is that student from a college/university where marking is very strict, would always lag behind in the merit and so would have very sparse chances of getting the job. This would lead to adverse selection.
Normalization of scores can be an elegant solution to this problem. For more detailed analysis of the problem, one can refer to the following link:
