About National Aptitude Test NAT 2021
NTA firmly believes that the right candidates joining the best institutions will give India her demographic dividend. It envisages that besides acquired knowledge and skills, it should include skills for future that would be expected in them, say after 5 years. These are Technical Skills, Creativity, Emotional Intelligence (EQ), Analytical Thinking, Growth Mindset, Decision Making, Inter-personnel Communication, Adaptability have been identified as skills for the future. Therefore NTA is planning to conduct National Aptitude Test-Ability Profiler.
The Aptitude test is one of the most difficult Tests. Aptitude is hidden. The test is to diagnose and predict. Any test that is not standardized or pilot study not done cannot be used for large administration and predictive purposes. The concerns emerged during various studies revealed that-
(a) 65% of the jobs our students will be doing in the future do not even exist today.
(b) Employers seek abilities like critical thinking, problem solving, innovations and creativity in their human capital but these abilities were deficient in about 70% school pass-outs.
(c) Considering skills gap is much evident, including in digital jobs that require graduates with relevant mathematical, science, and engineering Backgrounds.
