nice info man..thanks.

useless.

NIIT has nothing left to offer, unless a course/test is job oriented and companies reconize it, it is useless.

What NITAT Gives You?

A detailed understanding of your personality profile, strengths and areas of development in addition to your IT aptitude (So what ?)
An experience of the test and a chance to gauge your performance vis-à-vis your peers on a state, zonal and national level (meh)
Experience of a nation-wide assessment on a domain that is the entry gate to your career.|)

I am gonna appear for 12th boards in May 09. Can I apply? Also any other national tests like this?

M

Better contact them

Registered for it.

Had given it in 2008 also, but turned out to be crap. After the exam they just give petty discounts on their courses...

M

Yup! They give discount to those are not in top 10%. Rest top 10% are called for JOB Fair

I also gave it in 2007, but was not in top 10%

Registered for it. Let's see

Even the job fair must have sucked. And anyways I wasnt in need of a job then so didn't attend it.

You were in top 10% ????

Yep. Had 98 percentile.

Cool

Intresting. Me going to finish Class 12 and I expect results by May-June. Think I can also apply ?

so, for me giving the exam is like doing 2 hr journey to the exam centre..and i am in 3rd year..
so is it worth it???????

M

It is worth enough if you come in top 10%, otherwise this exam is total crap

It needs me to have completed 12th. I gave fake percentage in 12th, same as 10th.
Would it work ?

A

useless...NIIT is another scam...all they offer is discounts on their courses, as Pathik has mentioned....

so ? atleast I can know where I stand in this world...

WTH, amazing, I didn't knew this. I saw previous years ques paper and there were no ques related to IT. I though it wud be somewhat techie.

The name is IT aptitude test and no ques on IT???? WTH!!!!

Metal, enter fake details. They aren't gonna check.

Bad luck. To register, they want me to take my pass certificate or marks card of class 12 with me to NIIT office and pay Rs. 100 after showing my online registration number.

Pathik said:

I gave this test back in 2007, secured 70%ile.

I want to know they really conduct Campus Seminars and Give JOBS (for top 10%)? Or complete crap?

Hmm... I got a call from them yesterday asking if I wanted to confirm my online application and register. I told them that I am yet to appear for my class 12 examinations. They said no problem, I can bring a copy of class 10 marks card instead.

The model paper is damn easy. I could have easily solved it 2 years back. But I am still not sure about the test.

The test is especially useful for me because I am most propably enrolling into their CoreJava program and C program during may and they have promised discounts for the same.

M

^^^^

Speed matters there, here are the sections that will come:

* DI + Logical
* Quant
* Verbal
* Decision Making

Speed ? They never mentioned how many questions would be asked in how much time. Any idea ?

M

120 or 150... I don't remember exactly... gave in 2007

And how long do you get for that ?
How is the average difficulty level ?

PS: Apparently, this time the job fair is open for all regardless of percentile.

M

2 hours or 2 and a half hours...

Read RS Agarwal Verbal and Non Verbal and RS Agarwal Quant Book

OR

Open RD Sharma

Arey just go and give it yaar. Its a aptitude test. No need to prepare.

G

so this sound like NTSE like xam to me...hmm i will try

I am investing Rs. 100 in this. I would be facing 4th year graduate students. I can't let this opportunity go in waste. Think of the BRAGGING RIGHTS I stand to earn by doing well

M

Me too Applied

Anyone from B'lore writing this at 4 PM?
@Metal: When are you writing?

I'll be writing this too. Purely because Monday happens to be my Math exam and I'm so bored of studying for it

Will be a nice 3 Hour Break!

I'll be writing it at 1 in Bangalore. Anyone coming at that time? This is turning into an unofficial Digit meet....

^^I'm writing at 4

I wrote it at 4...could have been an unofficial meet at b'lore.

R

Hi.. i also took NITAT test in Delhi.. do u think the test was useful?? iam not sure

I wrote the xam at 1. Was a bit unexpected, especially all those decision making questions.
But I could manage most of them.
It was the mathematical section which pissed me off. Too much to calculate, too little time. I left most of it (by just answering "a" in each case and praying that its correct).

@ring_wrarith: woops. I forgot to see your post. where did you write ? mine was at St. Joseph's Indian High School. I was in Malleswaram batch.

@MetalHead, there was only one venue

And it was pretty easy, don't you think? I actually got bored and left with time to spare

But overall a waste of time, I mean how can you possibly decide the course of action you would follow in a particular situation unless you know all the variables???

M

Waiting for the Results

Yeah.. they're on 27th. More concerned about my Model results though... Getting really tensed about the Boards. :/

M

It's on 24th - Result NITAT

I spent too much time on those decision making questions so i had little time for the second set of math questions where i had to guess a few. :-(

remember the vegetable cutting question ?

So its 24th. Where/How/What Time are the results being disseminated?

M

Go to NIIT Center. Me going @ 12 Noon

T

WATS UR SCORE? mine is 70/100, zonal ranking 07. not recieved nything other yet.

M

* 73 Percentile
* In Top 30% - SO will receive a Merit Certificate

My score is 65/100
Percentile:
All India- Top 11%(89 percentile)
Zonal- Top 11%(86 percentile)
Disciplinary- Top 19%(81 percentile)
I've started bugging them for my Dell laptop Discount voucher.

Congrats guys.

The result was very poor and was not the way I expected.....
I am anyway poor in English and verbal ability and thought luck would aid me but the luck as usual gave me a hand.

My All India Rank----->6338
All India Percentile------>91

M

Did anyone got that Blue Coloured Merit Certificate??? They said to me you will receive from Delhi by Post....

Pls answer this

ok thanks will enquire again

I didn't got it either but they assured that we'll get it in a day or two as they've not received it either from their Delhi Head office.

M

^^^ I will wait then

I din't do too shabbily actually, got in the Top 1% (99th Percentile) at all-india, Zonal and Disciplinary (whatever that means) levels. My AIR was 432.

To my absolute shock and amazement, my lowest score was for verbal ability!! That is just plain weird as I never really thought of myself as a poor linguist

T

hi, wats ur score ring_wraith - with 99%ile?

pl nybody, wat would be my %ile with 70 score?

Not sure, but I think my score was 83.

T

wats ur score VAMSI360?

mine is : 67 i think

whoa! 99 percentile ?

Mine was 95 percentile. full marks in Problem Solving. 71% marks overall.

But my least score was in Team Work. Quite amusing, because I really AM a loner when it comes to most things. I prefer doing everything myself. But all scores were above average.

The lady there couldn't believe that I was in 12th... lol

But I think my performance was waaaay below what I hoped for. I could have gotton atleast 90% marks if I had managed time properly.

@MetalHead, lol the guy there had issues believing I was in 12th too!

^^Et Tu ? I guess us "lil kiddies" pwned 'em :lol:

PS: I recieved a complimentary NIIT Wrist Watch. Lolz

^cool...I might go tomorow to get my results...I for sure screwed up the final problem solving section as i didnt manage time properly.

Congrats wring_wraith and Gautham!

I got 86 percentile... Got least in Team Work(nothing unexpected)..

S

I got 331 rank all india...n got 99 percentile!!!

Well I haven't received any info about the vouchers other than their usual adverts so I'm bugging my city's center guys to tell me about it and get it for me.

So called "Benefits" are out, just 5% discount on Dell machines. Get ur while it lasts.

A

Even 5% discount will cut your lappy's price by 2.5k to 3k which I think is quite a nice deal but other than this offer all other offers are worth a consideration because the discount is not really great in them to make us really rush for them.
