CBSE launches 4th edition of Global Aptitude Index

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 SGAI is to sensitise parents,teacher and students on effective career planning later in life.

“Aptitude testing should be made an integral part of the school system and to make it more inclusive,there is a need to sensitize schools,students and parents about SGAI preferably from class IX itself. Although there is a demand to make SGAI a compulsory activity,but the schools and students should themselves feel the importance of such a facility and come forward to register,” said Vineet Joshi,chairman,CBSE.

There has been a change in the schedule of the fourth edition. Instead of January 2014,SGAI will tentatively be held in the month of November 2013. The purpose behind rescheduling is to provide students the assessment reports well ahead of their entry into class XI. The last date of registration for SGAI Fourth edition is till September 30 but not later than October 15.There is no late fee for SGAI.

In the past three years,around 4,00,000 students from 6000 schools across the globe have opted for CBSE-SGAI.
