where,
m = marks obtained by the candidate.
a = average of marks of all candidates who appeared in the paper mentioned on this scorecard in

s = standard deviation of marks of all candidates who appeared in the paper mentioned on this
scorecard in GATE 2009
ag = average (global) of marks of all candidates who appeared across all papers and years 2006-2009
sg = standard deviation (global) of marks of all candidates who appeared across all papers and years
