| Third-party assessments |
| |
|
| As
universities and organizations strive to set new benchmarks of
performance, increasingly, the task of carrying out assessments
is outsourced to a third-party assessment solutions provider. A
third-party provider handles candidate registration and payment,
authors question papers, conducts and evaluates tests and
delivers results. This leaves the organization free to focus on
core competencies. |

|
Global trends |
|
University entrance exams including the GRE, GMAT, SAT, TOEFL & IELTS are conducted globally on an online, on-demand basis. Since November 2009, the Common Admission Test (CAT) conducted by the IIMs has become an online exam. Other exams of institutes across India too are moving from traditional paper-pencil tests to online assessments - conducted by third-party assessment solutions providers. |
|
| Consumers
today are accustomed to convenient, 24/7 service & exam
candidates are no exception. Institutes too are moving away from
annual or semester exams in favour of conducting assessments
on-demand. As older, working students return to complete their
education, they demand the flexibility to choose a time and
venue of their choice to appear for tests. |
| |
 |
| |
| In the
business/ corporate world, pre-employment tests and assessments
have come into their own. Apart from tests of competency,
aptitude and skill, psychometric testing too is commonplace.
This is even more relevant in the case of large-scale
recruitments, especially in the IT, ITES & BPO verticals. |
