  There is an endless number of national level competitive tests like NSTSE, NSO etc. designed to identify competence in certain specific skills like Science and Math. There are assessment tests, like ASSET, IAIS etc. designed to test conceptual understanding. Why should the students still take the TCY-NBT ?

This is because TCY-NBT is like no other test. It is unique as
  • it not only offers a comprehensive assessment but also suggests a plan of remedial action to overcome the weaknesses as identified through it.
  • it generates a career preparedness graph that guides the student on the career options available as per his current skill levels.
  • the analytics of TCY-NBT also provide detailed analyses of his competitiveness at national level.
