Will India ever have common entrance test for university admissions and save parents money and students time?

In India we have dozens of different entrance tests as far as university admission goes, most parents are forced to register for at least few costing thousands of rupees and for students study different syllabus for these exams. Then you have to plan travel to exam centers.

Government after government gives pep talks but shows 0 interest in fixing this mess, current one is no different at all.

Will we ever see common entrance tests like most countries have.

Common Admission Test

Hi, I don't know whether this a correct sub to post this but I will really be very grateful if you guys can help me out. I am a Chartered Accountant working in an assurance department in big 4. I want to Prepare for CAT. I have a hectic job so I can give max of 1hr per day. Can someone please suggest me how to proceeds with my Preparation. It will not be possible for me to attend a classroom, so can you guys please suggest me which online course is the best where I can watch videos at my own space. Also, I have a very average academic background. Does an average student have a chance to convert into IIMs or I will be just wasting my time and effort ?

[Oxford admissions test] Winnie the Pooh and the Tragedy of the Commons!

This is a question from an Oxford economics admissions test from a while back. Wondering about the answer to the last part. I think I've been able to solve it by trial-and-error and with a complicated equation that I could only solve with Wolfram Alpha. My answer: >!one of them will build a fifth hive, but it's in neither's interest to build another.!< Am I right?! Is there a cleaner and simpler way?

Need a study partner who is going to give CAT ( common admission test) in India this year

I have a lack of motivation to do anything on my own. What I have noticed is when I have someone to do with it I can easily get things done. I am in search of a person who is going to give CAT this year so we can push each other to complete the goals.

CMV: Standardized tests like the SAT and ACT should be required for college admissions

Many schools in the US like the UC system are switching to test optional policies. They claim they are doing this because these tests are biased against minority students, however due to COVID many testing sites were closed.

Originally, from what I understand, the UC system started using standardized tests in 1968 because there were students (like Jumaane Williams, who claims he was able to get an education precisely because he had the test scores) who didn’t have good grades but had academic potential.

By putting a higher emphasis on grades, which vary from school to school, this may end up hurting students from low income areas more, as high income schools tend to have more grade inflation: https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2021/11/09/research-links-rise-college-completion-grade-inflation

To me, it seems like standardized tests are the best way to control for many of these differences because everyone gets the same (or at least a similar) test. By switching to test-optional policies, many Asian students could be disadvantaged.

Note that I am not arguing that standardized tests should be the only factor in admissions, just that it can set a minimum for entry at many schools as it is a good predictor of college success, similar to the GRE.

Many students, like myself, could care less about test prep and see it as a waste of time. Yet I was still able to get a good (not great, ~2200) score and get into a great undergraduate school and almost every graduate program.

Things that will change my view include (but are not limited to)

  • Evidence that standardized tests are not a good measure of college success
  • Arguments that standardized tests do more harm than good
  • Better alternatives that predict college success

Is it ok if I write my common app essay on a time I had surgery and how my disability has helped shape me into who I am or will admissions officers think it’s a sob story or some other negative stereotype

if you indicated that you’re applying for financial aid on common app but decide not to, do you have to let the admissions office know?

TIL Sara Blakely, founder of Spanx, once considered becoming an attorney but after scoring low on the admissions test decided to work at Disney World and do stand-up comedy. She later brainstormed her billion dollar company because she disliked the look of pantyhose (seamed feet) in open-toed shoes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sar…
