CBSE announces dates for SGAI


The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) announced the dates for the fourth edition of the Students' Global Aptitude Index (SGAI) recently. The assessment has been advanced and would now be held on November 16 instead of January next year.

CBSE is the first board of education in the country to conduct an aptitude assessment in the form of SGAI at the pan India level. Developed as a paper pencil test by a renowned team of field experts, SGAI is well customized to suit the Indian context. It is especially designed keeping in mind the fact that each individual is unique in terms of aptitude, interest and motivation. 

SGAI aims at initiating a dialogue on the decision making of academic choices among various stakeholders besides empowering a student since subject choices of a student are very often dictated by parents' expectations, peer pressure, social prestige and many other external factors. The larger purpose of CBSE SGAI is to sensitize parents, teacher and students on effective career planning later in life. 

The Board will arrange SGAI advocacy and orientation programs for schools at various locations. 

In the past three years, around 4,00,000 students from 6000 schools across the globe have opted for CBSE-SGAI. The Himachal Board of Higher Education has also partnered with CBSE and conducted SGAI for students of Class X.
