CBSE-SGAI for class X students in November

Aptitude reflects the inherent capacity, or talent of a child. Aptitude tests are known to be reliable predictors of future scholastic achievements as they provide a profile of the strengths and weaknesses of a student.

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will conduct the Fourth Edition of Students Global Aptitude Index (SGAI) assessment test in November for class X students to help them choose subjects at the senior secondary level . Thus, the SGAI is intended to help students assess their aptitude well in advance to make meaningful subject choices at the plus 2 level, thereby optimizing student potential and increasing his/her satisfaction level with the subjects pursued at +2 level.

With rapidly growing entrepreneurial landscape across the country, young India is voicing its aspiration to pursue careers which were, once considered offbeat, but are now gaining a mainstream flavour . The SGAI has proven to be a valuable first step in the direction of helping students make an informed career choice. It is little wonder then that over 4,00,0000 students have taken the CBSE – SGAI till date!
