CMAT Test Training by NTA
NTA has established a network of test practice centres for students of rural areas so that everyone will have an opportunity to practice before the exam. Schools/engineering colleges with computer centres are being identified and kept open on Saturday / Sunday starting from last week of August. Any student can use the facility free of charge.
In order to serve the requirements of the rural students, NTA would locate the centres at sub-district / district level and as far as possible would undertake hands-on training to the students to take the computer based tests. The candidates at these centres will be able to understand about the navigation tools, how to mark and unmark the answers on the computer screen, how to improve the test taking speed in computer based test format and about other features.
On the pattern of advanced countries, a specialized body in India National Testing Agency (NTA) has been set up in pursuance of the Finance Ministers Budget speech 2017-18. According to the Government, establishment of NTA willbenefit about 40 lakh studentsappearing in various entrance examinations. It will relieveCBSE,AICTEand other agencies from responsibility of conducting these entrance examinations, and also bring in high reliability, standardized difficulty level for assessing the aptitude, intelligence and problem solving abilities of the students.
From this year, the NTA would initially conduct those entrance examinations which are currently being conducted by the AICTE as CMAT, GPAT; CBSE such asJEE Mainfor B.Tech and B.Arch courses,NEET UGfor MBBS / BDS courses, National Eligibility Test (UGCNET) and others. Other examinations will be taken up gradually after NTA is fully geared up.
