The tests will be conducted on class 10 students studying in government schools. The State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) has allocated over Rs 6.56 crore to all districts for conducting them. The program will benefit 93,819 students, with all girls to be covered by March 31. The primary objective of this initiative is to analyse students’ mental abilities, interests, and personality traits to guide them towards making informed career choices. The initiative will not only make students more confident and aware of their future, but will also improve the quality and standards of education in government school schools, says the school education minister. It will also empower them to choose paths that align with their strengths and interests, he adds. It is hoped that the initiative will help students to make informed choices about their future career choices and improve their quality of education. The test will be available to all girls in the state from March 31 to April 1, 2015. The cost of the program is estimated to be around Rs 1,000,000.
