A follow-up to Nasscom’s NAC test initiative to develop entry-level human power for the BPO industry and equip them with relevant hard and soft skills that ensure employability, the organisation has launched NAC Tech targeting graduates from engineering streams. Again the certification seeks to transform a trainable workforce into an employable workforce. The standardised test pattern intends to gauge employability, based not only on core competence, but also on soft skills.In its two-part matrix, the test has a compulsory component to test soft skills such as verbal skills, analytical and logical reasoning, attention to detail, strength of written English, ability to learn and programming fundamentals.

The second part pays attention to core engineering subjects and every student can choose the subject that he or she has focused on.

It provides students an opportunity to test their capacities even before the job market hits them in the face. The advantage is that students can take the test online even a year before the campus recruitment begins to evaluate their skills.

The score will provide them information about their strengths, but also indicate their weaknesses, which they can work on and remedy in time for the real interview.

All the best
