Today NITAT has evolved from being just an I.T. aptitude test to the one that assesses student’s career readiness quotient across multiple domains like IT, Banking and Finance. We are confident that NITAT will continue to help students access their skills for multiple career domains.” Students who appear for NITAT receive assessment score card & personalized career counselling from NIIT. They are also entitled for complementary job fair passes. NIIT’s program proposition is highlighted during counselling and scholarships are awarded to merit holders, along with a congratulatory letter from NIIT MindChampion and five-time world chess champion Viswanathan Anand.
NIIT’s pioneering initiative NITAT was introduced in 2004 to enable graduates and students pursuing their studies in engineering, arts, commerce and science streams to gauge their aptitude for a career in the IT sector, identify skills further required, if any, and thus systematically charter their career into the IT industry. Today the test has evolved as a powerful tool that assesses student’s aptitude across multiple domains, including IT, Banking and Finance. The test is designed scientifically to assess students and provide a relative ranking system, which helps them to identify their position amongst all test takers.
