Hello Sathish!
It is one of the ways of performance appraisal in which all the employees are put into a category group of either excellent, good/average and poor performers. Usually most of the employees fall under average category. The organization fixes a level or standard for each category say for example: average performers are those who fall in the range of 50-70% performance. The major drawback of this method of performance appraisal is that it gives the same level of appraisal for the employees on both the extremes like an employee who is on 50% and other on 69% would get the same appraisal. This is just an example. But this is one of the easy methods since the employees are just placed into either of the categories. The method of performance appraisal differs with the type of organization and the policies it follows.
Hope this would help giving you an idea about it. For further understanding you can follow "Organizational Behavior" 13th edition by Stephen, Robbins
