Freshers aspiring to get into the top 20 Information Technology (IT) and IT Enabled Services (ITES) companies in the country will have to write the assessment test from this year, the National Association of Software and Service Companies (NASSCOM) Regional Director for Tamil Nadu and Kerala K. Purushothaman said.
The Regional Director, who was here on Saturday, told The Hindu that the test will be conducted in two forms namely NACTECH and NAC. NACTECH (NASSCOM Assessment Compliance Technology Test) will be conducted for final year engineering, technology, Master of Computer Applications, M.Sc. Software and M.Sc. Information Technology students; and NAC (NASSCOM Assessment Compliance Test) for final year arts and science students.
The test will be for an hour where the students will have to take up the online objective type questions, he added. According to him, colleges willing to conduct the tests will have to express their intent to NASSCOM. A team will be sent to inspect if the facilities in those institutions such as computers with internet connectivity are conducive to conduct the tests. If they are not suitable the students there will be asked to asked to attend the test at a nearby college that is suitable to conduct it, he said and added that the minimum student strength for which the test be conducted on a said date will be 500 students. He noted that the tests are not restricted to students of particular institutions as any final year student irrespective of the institution can attend the test.
“NACTECH and NAC were introduced about three years ago and was not made mandatory but even then nearly two lakh students wrote it in the year 2010”, Mr. Purushothaman said. Mr. Purushothaman, however, made it clear that students clearing these tests will not be directly appointed by those companies, as it will only certify them to undergo the second level of screening conducted by the companies.
