Obtain an insight into your Personality

We are proud to announce that we have added a Personality Testing section on our website. We believe that an accurate insight into one’s personality is a pre-requisite for success in life. Armed with this knowledge of one’s strengths and weaknesses, an individual is better equipped to meet the various demands placed on him/her. At meritnation.com, you can assess your personality across 20 dimensions that have been found to exercise a wide area of influence on human behaviour. You can instantly view the results, containing an analyses of your responses coupled with suggestions for improvement. 

The Personality Tests section is the first step in a series of steps that will eventually lead to the Career Recommender, wherein we will provide inputs on possible career options suitable to a student and help him/her chart a career path in those fields, after taking into account his unique interests, aptitude and personality profiles. (Yes! The interest and aptitude testing sections will be coming up soon!) Do keep watching this space for more news on our upcoming products.

Launching meritnation.com!

Learning is not compulsory… neither is survival.
- W. EDWARDS DEMING.

Every major idea has its defining moment. For us it were a few simple thoughts put across by a student – “I want to learn. I want to score, and…and.. I want to do it in a fun kind of a way.” The rest was difficult! What followed was a lot of time spent by seasoned educators getting into the shoes of students, and spending days working on perspectives thus gained. We always knew that years of having directly and closely worked with thousands of students on ground and insights thus gained had put us in a unique position – to help the students learn, score and enjoy the process.

We believe, that the best thing to do is to position all relevant knowledge at a place where you can find what you need to know and most importantly, when you need to know. For us, the “E” in e learning stands for “experience”. The team at meritnation boasts of having over 100 years of cumulative experience in the education sector. We have worked extensively in the area of content development and curriculum design for students. So does that make us perfect? Of course not! We are still learning, because we believe that “good is not enough, when better is possible.

When you log on to meritnation.com you will realize just how systematically organized everything is. You will find:

  • Solutions to all NCERT questions for Maths and Science from Class VI to Class X. (XI & XII will be added in a matter of days.)
  • Animations and videos to understand the concepts behind the solutions.
  • Interactive puzzles (based on individual chapters) to explore and learn the concepts which are difficult to learn otherwise.
  • Carefully designed practice tests as a run up to the ultimate test; and reports giving a detailed feedback.
  • Revision notes for a complete but handy and quick recap before the exams.

…and of course, a lot more. We believe that meritantion.com will be a perfect partner as you gear yourself up to handle the challenge of the forthcoming exams. Also, in days ahead you will find a lot of new stuff getting added regularly.

We would like to sign off by emphasizing that we are passionate about adding value to our users. Your feedback and suggestions will help us serve you better. So do keep those comments coming!

We wish you all the very best in your careers and a very Happy New Year 2009!
