3. Purpose of this Report
The Aspiring Minds Campus Analysis Report provides a detailed analysis of campus students'
quality and their employability in the industry. Our aim is to produce a report which is useful to the
campus and includes a comprehensive comparison across different degrees, streams and batches.
All such analysis will serve as an employability check up for students and accordingly, the campus
can prioritize efforts to increase the overall student employability.
The sections containing tables and charts in this report are those we constructed after an in-depth
analysis of AMCAT assessment data collected from your campus. Different sections of this report
give a broad view on numerous aspects related to the performance of students. We evaluate your
students with the national average, which is calculated on a sample of entry-level job-aspirants
over 12 states in India. This comparison reveals the areas in which your students fare better (or
otherwise) than the average student assessed by us, and determines the employability of students
for diverse industries. This report will give a clear picture of the status of students eligible for the
listed companies and also help the institute to work on the weak areas figured by Aspiring Minds'
analysis.
We also provide an intra-campus analysis to give an overview of the characteristics of better
performing students (so that they can be encouraged more) and others, such that proper rectifying
measures can be taken.
On the basis of the interpretation of the analysis, we suggest certain recommendations for your
campus. We are certain that these recommendations will help XYZ Institute of Technology towards
its goal of providing excellent education to the students, which will result in better employability.

5. Introduction
This report is written with reference to the AMCAT conducted in your campus on 06.08.2009 where
a total of 157 students were tested. The areas in which your students were assessed are:
AMCAT Modules
I. English
II. Quantitative Ability
III. Logical Ability
IV. Computer Fundamentals
V. Computer Programming
VI. Electronics & Semiconductor
VII. Aspiring Minds Personality Inventory (AMPI)
I. English
Familiarity with English Language in its various nuances is an essential skill, especially in the
current climate of global networking. Ideally, any recruitment should involve a test of skills
in handling the language in ways that promote the objectives of the company and establish
desired rapport. Needless to state, an appropriate test is necessary.
Our English test uses a variety of internationally standardized resources for framing
questions aimed at determining the candidate's ability to understand (a) the written text
(b) the spoken word and (c) communicate effectively through written documents. The test
broadly covers the following areas:
a. A wide-ranging Vocabulary to cope with general and specific terminology.
b. Syntax and sentence structure, the incorrect use of which distorts meaning and
becomes a communication hurdle.
c. Comprehension exercises designed to test a candidate's ability to read fluently and
understand correctly.
d. The ability to understand and use suitable phrases, which enrich the meaning of
what is conveyed.
Time management and accuracy in conformity with the examiner's criteria.
II. Quantitative Ability
The Quantitative Ability assesses the ability of the candidate in following two aspects:
a. Basic understanding of numbers and applications
This section tests whether the candidate has understanding of basic number
system, i.e., fractions, decimals, negative, positive, odd, even numbers, rational
numbers, etc. The candidate should know how to do basic operations on these
numbers, understand concepts of factors/divisibility and have good practice on

6. algebra. Apart from operations on numbers, the candidate should know how to
convert a real-world problem into equations, which is to be solved to find an
unknown quantity. The candidate is tested on Word Problems representing various
scenarios to assess the same.
b. Analytical/Engineering Maths
These are aspects of mathematics needed for Engineering disciplines and analysis
of data. This includes permutation-combination, probability and understanding of
logarithms.
III. Logical Ability
The Logical Ability section assesses capacity of an individual to interpret things objectively,
to be able to perceive and interpret trends to make generalizations and be able to analyze
assumptions behind an argument/statement. These abilities are primary for success of a
candidate in the industry. Specifically, these are divided into following sections:
a. Deductive Reasoning: Assesses the ability to synthesize information and derive
conclusions.
b. Inductive Reasoning: Assesses the ability to learn by example, imitation or hit-and-
trial. This also provides an indication of how creative the individual is.
c. Subjective Reasoning: Assesses the critical thinking ability of an individual to see
through loopholes in an argument or group of statements.
All these abilities are tested both using numerical and verbal stimuli. Coachable questions
have been identified and removed.
IV. Computer Fundamentals
In the current scenario, knowing how to use the computer is essential for all professions.
This module specifically assesses the suitability of candidates for the ITeS sector, Customer
Support positions, Data Entry positions, Content Writers, Journalists, Marketing/Sales, etc.
The basic thrust of the module is not to test theoretical computer concepts, but test
whether the candidate recognizes different parts of the computer and knows how to use
the computer for day-to-day tasks such as word processing, using the Internet, making
presentations, etc. The test also assesses whether the candidate has experience in
debugging problems in computer hardware/operations and whether he/she knows how to
change some basic settings. The test includes the following sections.
A. Hardware Usage and Organization

7. V. Computer Programming
The Computer Programming Principles and Algorithms Module evaluate the suitability of
the candidate in the software industry. It not only tests the knowledge and application of
basic constructs of programming, but also concepts of data structures, algorithm analysis
and object-oriented-programming.
The test is language-independent and all programming questions use a pseudo-code.
Significant effort has been made to exclude memory-based and rote-learning questions.
The test contains questions on debugging programs, finding the output of programs,
completing incomplete programs, finding complexity of algorithms, questions on
implementation and operations on different data structures, etc.
The test contains the following sections:
a. Structure and constructs of Computer Programs
b. Data-structures and Basics Algorithms
c. Object Oriented Programming Concepts
VI. Electronics & Semiconductor
The Electronics and Semiconductor test assesses the suitability of the candidate for the
SOC, Embedded Systems, VLSI design, etc. companies. This test together with that of
Programming assesses suitability of candidate for EDA companies. The test has the
following sections:
a. Analog Electronics
1. Basic Components, their operations and Circuit Analysis
2. Active Components, Large, Small Signal and Circuit Analysis
3. Frequency domain and time domain analysis of systems, Feedback and
Stability
4. Opamp based circuits and analysis
b. Digital Electronics
1. Boolean Algebra, Minimization of Boolean Functions
2. Implementation and Analysis of logic gates
3. Sequential blocks - flip-flops and latches
4. Digital Circuits and Blocks
5. State Machines and design of Complex sequential circuits
VII. AMPI: Aspiring Minds Personality Inventory
It is the first personality inventory designed for personality analysis of Indian college
graduates for the purpose of inputs to corporate personnel selection. AMPI is based on the
five factor model, which is by far the only scientifically validated and reliable personality
model. Several scientific studies across the world have shown that different combinations
of the five factor personality traits strongly correlate to different job profiles and predict
long term job performance reliably. AMPI analysis will be a worthwhile objective input to

8. the corporate selection process and help find better matches to job profiles. The AMPI
questionnaire asks candidate reaction in scenarios, his/her beliefs, likes-dislikes to
ascertain their personality factors. Factors map to traits such as candidate motivation,
self-discipline, sociability, persistence, confidence, emotional stability, etc. which both
intuitively and scientifically map to job requirements. AMPI builds in a strong proprietary
methodology to control distortions due to social desirability and answer-faking.
AMPI has been designed specifically keeping the fresh Indian graduates in mind. Context
is very important in design of items. AMPI items take into consideration the cultural
sensibilities of Indians, the scenarios students face at college/home, also depending on the
socio-economic status of the target population. This brings AMPI into a unique position as
compared to generic/Western inventories, which do not suit our target population and fail
miserably.
AMPI's scoring is based on statistical techniques of factor analysis, polytomous item
analysis and structural modeling. Norms have been set on large candidate assessment
done on final year graduates. Testforms are auto-generated such that each factor can be
reliably predicted in feasible amount of time. Test-retest reliability and test validity are
statistically guaranteed.
AMPI traits are:
a. Extraversion
b. Conscientiousness
c. Neuroticism
d. Openness to Experience
e. Agreeableness
Score Interpretation
All scores lie between 100 and 900. The scores are normalized on a Gaussian curve using statistical
techniques. The scores follow global standards of validity and reliability. They are valid for three
years and remain consistent on repeat testing till the candidate's ability improves due to sustained
long term efforts.
Percentile Interpretation
The percentile of the candidate is calculated over a National average group based on the percentile
of all students tested by Aspiring Minds. Various studies conducted demonstrate clearly that the
percentiles are stable for a year and will not vary more than two percentile points. The percentile
is a very important metric and provides an idea as to the rank of the candidate in comparison with
all graduates nationwide.

9. Section 1 - Score Analysis
This section shows the overall performance of the campus students, along with their average
and standard deviation in each module. In Campus Aptitude and Skill Chart below, BLUE triangles
represent (average) score of your campus in each module. The RED triangle represents Total
Aptitude score, which comprises of English, Quantitative Ability and Logical Reasoning scores.
The Campus Ability Table below shows the campus average and standard deviation along with the
National average, percentile of the average score of campus, difference between the campus and
Norm average, and significance of the difference (indicated by confidence). Norm is the National
Average of all the candidates tested on AMCAT. Confidence refers to the likelihood (ranging from 0
to 100%) that the results observed in the study are real, and not due to chance. In this analysis, if
confidence is less than 90%, it indicates that the difference between the Campus Average and the
National Average is not significant and that both the scores are equivalent. For confidence greater
than or equal to 90%, the difference between the campus and the National Average is considered
significant. If the difference is positive, campus students are better than the National Average and
vice versa.

I. Inferences
1. English
Communication is the key to building relationships and trust that leads to success in
business. English is a corporate language and hence, the ability to read and comprehend
this language effectively is essential to qualify for all types of job profiles, whether it is
technical or non-technical. Although the difference is not large, it is not very pleasing to
find that the students of your institute have scored lower than the National Average in
English module. We sincerely believe that students can improve their English with a little
more effort and dedication towards the language. By making English communication and
reading a habit, students can improve their score to go beyond the National Average. The
campus and the faculty also need to create a conducive environment, where students are
encouraged to communicate in English.
2. Quantitative Ability
Quantitative Ability measures a person's ability to deal with numbers and real-world
problems quantitatively and mathematically. It is the ability to convert a real world
problem into equations which can then be solved to find the result. This module is
designed to measure a candidate's basic math and algebraic skills, his/her understanding of
basic quantitative concepts and his/her ability to reason quantitatively, solve quantitative
problems and interpret graphical data. Your campus has shown good performance in
Quantitative Ability module, scoring higher than the National Average; but note that the

11. difference is not substantial. Your students should practice different kinds of problems on
different topics like numbers, decimals, probability, logarithms, etc. This will help them to
get a good hold of this area, which in turn will increase their scores.
3. Logical Ability
The purpose of Logical Reasoning module is to test students' logical skills and check their
intuitive ability, decision making capability, problem solving approach and other areas
which are important from a company's perspective. People with strong Logical Reasoning
are quicker to perceive and interpret things objectively. Therefore, proficiency in logical
reasoning is desired for all job profiles. Students of your institute have scored equivalent
to the National Average in Logical Reasoning module. Proper guidance from the faculty
and focused efforts from students are required to succeed the National Average. Students
should solve various kinds of logical puzzles and play logical games regularly. This will
sharpen their skills tremendously, thereby increasing the employability of your students.
4. Computer Fundamentals
The Computer Fundamentals module tests for the basic knowledge of a candidate about
the working on Computer and its associated technology. The module tests student's
proficiency in using Windows, browsing the Internet, etc. As satisfactory computer
knowledge is expected of all in corporate world, good performance in this module is
a must for all job profiles. The students of your institute have performed well in this
module, scoring slightly higher than the National Average. Their performance can be
further elevated by focused effort by the institute and students together by enhancing
their knowledge on computers and different types of software. This can be achieved by
regularly reading computer magazines and journals and by gathering information on the
Internet.
5. Computer Programming
Computer Programming module assesses a candidate's programming skills. The sub-
categories of this module are basics of programming, data structures, object oriented
programming and theoretical computer science (complexity, data types, etc.). A high score
in this module is an indicator of proficiency in the role of software engineer or developer. In
this module, your campus has scored lower than the National Average, but the difference
is less. To overcome this gap, proper corrective measures are required before it is too late.
Students should practice a variety of simple coding problems from all the sub areas of this
module, increasing the difficulty level while attaining the excellence.
6. Electronics & Semiconductor
The Electronics and Semiconductor Module tests the student's understanding of analog
and digital electronics. Students need expertise in this area to pursue a career in fields
such as VLSI design, Embedded Systems, Computer-Aided-Circuit Design - in general, the
Semiconductor and SOC industry. The topics included in this module are taught to students
pursuing Electronics/Electrical engineering. In many cases, it is also taught to students
pursuing engineering in Computer Science, Instrumentation, etc. It is good that the campus
is equivalent to the National average, but there is lot of room for improvement. It seems
that students first require a brush up of basic concepts followed by lot of question solving.
Giving weekly or bi-weekly assignments to students and making them solve back problems
is a great way to further improve the conceptual understanding of students and develop
proficiency in applying the concept in various ways and situations.

12. II. Performance Summary
From the above analysis, it is clearly visible that the performance of the students at your campus
is good in Quantitative Ability and Computer Fundamentals, which is appreciable. They have
performed satisfactory in Logical Ability and Electronics & Semiconductor, whereas extra efforts
can make a tremendous difference in performance. However, the students' performance is not
satisfactory in English and Computer Programming, therefore additional training sessions and
corrective measures are required by the campus authorities. Methodologies such as mock tests,
assignments and extra classes can become a valuable strategy for the benefit of students. The
campus can also include proactive mentoring sessions for weak students and review their skills in
the given area(s). Another approach can be to hold training sessions focusing on comprehensive
guidance for the students to excel in their weak areas. The gain resulting from these training
sessions and your continuous support will allow overall development of the student and further
enhancement in their abilities.
III. Training Suggestions
This section lists areas where your students need to improve on the basis of their performance in
the AMCAT. For each module, according to the degree of the improvement needed, suggestions
are provided so that the performance of students can be improved.
Campus Training Requirement Table
Area to
Improve Upon
Degree of
Improvement
Suggestion
English Strong
Conduct a number of mock tests and make sure that the
students always appear for it, without missing any of the tests.
This will help them to know where they actually stand.
Encourage playing games like Scrabble, Crossword, etc. that
are based on English vocabulary. You can try placing such
games in campus library. Conduct tests and quizzes under time
constraints which would help students judge their
performance and further improve it.
Quantitative
Ability
Very Less
Examples on a variety of questions should be made and then
extensively discussed to equip the students with different
concepts.
Logical Ability Moderate
Include explicit training for reasoning skills to make the
students practice different types of questions such as
syllogism, blood relations, direction sense, pattern recognition,
etc. Encourage students to solve different types of puzzles and
solve questions which need logical thinking. Have them lay the
problem clearly in their minds and then only start solving it.

Give them assignments which entail usage of different parts of
computer system.
Computer
Programming
Strong
Sharpen your students' skills by making them design programs
for complex problems. Try giving them more challenging
assignments. One of the best ways to improve fundamental
skills in this module is by reading technical literature and good
books with lot of examples. You could subscribe to technical
journals and more books on computer programming in your
library. Choose a high-level language like C/C++/Java and let
the students try implementing many different programs
(pattern/series generation, arithmetic operations, decision-
making, use of functions, etc.) in the chosen language. Or,
in other words, practical exposure to programming should be
encouraged.
Electronics &
Semiconductor
Moderate
The right way of teaching Electronics and Semiconductor is to
make students do a lot of weekly or bi-weekly assignments.
Teachers should prepare solutions for back-problems of the
aforesaid texts and then give these problems to students to
solve. Electronics is a math like subject. One cannot read it to
learn it, it is application based and is learnt by doing. Good
understanding of combinational logic, circuit analysis and
design is required to excel in this module. We suggest that the
students should keep practicing a few questions in these areas
to keep their knowledge refreshed. Make sure they go through
various examples, understand and practice them. Then, make
them solve multiple choice questions under time constraint.

14. Section 2 - Company Match
This section gives you an approximate idea about the kind of companies your students are
competent for. This section also provides an insight into the criteria used by different companies
for the process of hiring. Additionally, an estimate of the employability of your campus students
in different sectors is mentioned. To improve employability prospects, domains in which your
students need to concentrate their efforts are also listed.
I. Perspective on Company Shortlisting Criteria
Different companies use custom benchmarks on AMCAT to shortlist the types of candidates they
require. As per past usage of Aspiring Minds' pool by companies, following are few examples of
companies where the students can aspire to get in to kick-start their successful careers.
• Large Services Companies
These types of service companies have large training setups of their own. They provide
system integration solutions, software application development, testing solutions and
many other services. For large services companies, Computer Programming score is not
an important criterion. They look for candidates with acceptable English and Logical
Reasoning along with strong Quantitative Ability skills. A good score in computer
programming module is an advantage. HCL, TCS, Wipro, Satyam, Polaris etc are some of
the major large scale service based companies.
• Small or Core Technology Companies
These types of product based companies analyze the future requirements of market and
come up with exact solutions and product enhancements. That is, they develop their
own products/applications based on the market requirements. These companies primarily
look for good programming skills and quantitative ability. Since the job does not include
interaction with clients, they do not focus on good scores in English. Yahoo, Microsoft,
Texas Instruments, etc. are some of the product based technology companies.
• Hardware and Networking Companies
These companies specialize in Hardware and Network Support and basically provide
integrated solutions for business enterprise applications, networking equipment and
network management. That is they help manage organization's computing resources up
and running. These companies primarily look for average quantitative and logical ability.
Since the job does not include a lot of interaction with clients, they do not necessarily
require good scores in English Comprehension. Cisco, Hewlett Packard, Nortel, NEC, Citrix
and Netgear are some of the Hardware/Networking companies.
• Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO) Companies

14
Tel: (91) 124 4148777
Email: info@aspiringminds.in
15. Knowledge Processing Outsourcing (popularly known as KPO) calls for the application of
specialized domain pertinent knowledge. KPO business entities provide typical domain-
based processes, advanced analytical skills and business expertise, rather than just process
expertise. These companies look for an impressive command in English and sound
knowledge in both Quantitative and Logical Reasoning. Evalueserve, Ugam Solutions, 24/7
Customer, ICICI OneSource, etc. are some of the leading KPOs in India.
• Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) Companies
Business process outsourcing companies can be aptly defined as those that act to utilize
the services of a third party in order to perform its back office operations. The BPO market
is forecast to hit $450 billion by 2012. These companies look at moderate to outstanding/
exceptionally good English, depending on whether they have national or international
clients. The other parameters they use for short listing are acceptable Logical Reasoning
and Computer skills. GE Capital, Convergys, Wipro Spectramind and Dell are some of the
prominent BPO entities.
II. Employability Prospects
This section analyzes the students on the benchmarks of diverse companies and then indicates
the percentage of students from your campus eligible for a particular type of company. It also lays
emphasis on the number of students needing training and grooming sessions.
Campus Job Match Table
Type of Company
Percentage of Students
Eligible
Percentage of Students Need

Large IT companies 22% 78%
Small/Core Technology
companies
3% 97%
KPO 9% 91%
BPO 49% 51%
Hardware & Networking
companies
38% 62%
It is clearly visible from the above table that the percentage of students eligible for both Large IT
companies and Small/Core Technology companies is very low. Also for Hardware & Networking
companies a moderate percentage of students meet the eligibility criteria. Since technical
students mostly aspire to go for product or service based technology companies, it is a matter of
deep concern that most of the students do not meet the companies' criteria. If the institute desires

16. a good placement record for these types of job profiles, it should provide regular assignments
of varying difficulty levels and conduct periodic tests with special stress on weak areas of the
students. This can go a long way in improving the quality of knowledge imparted to students,
thereby increasing their understanding as well.
Less number of students are eligible for KPOs whereas fair number of students are eligible for
BPOs. Extra effort by the campus and student self motivation can elevate the performance of the
students. To increase the employability in KPOs and BPOs, concentrated efforts are required in
English communication skills.
III. Bird's-eye-view of Employability
The following chart displays an overview of the employability of students in your institute. The
circles represent different company types and parts of circle indicate the percentage of students
eligible for the respective company. For example, an overlapping region between KPO and Large IT
companies circle represents percentage of students eligible for both the companies.
Note: the arrow in the figure above points to the number of students eligible for a particular company. BPO sector is not
shown in the figure.
It is evident that 51% students of your campus need training to become employable in the
industry. These are the students who are not eligible for any of the above mentioned companies.
Please also note that if we include students who are just eligible for BPO sector, the total percent
of students in need of training becomes 62%.

1. English
From the graph and table, we can easily infer that B.Tech/B.E students have good
command over English in comparison to the MCA students with a significant difference
of 17 percentile points. However, both degrees have scored below the National Average. It
is one area where high improvement is needed by students of both the fields.
2. Quantitative Ability
It should be of no surprise that MCA students have scores less in this section as compared
to those in B.Tech as this is a general pattern observed by Aspiring Minds.
3. Logical Ability
In the Logical Reasoning section, B.Tech/B.E students have outdone the MCA students
of your campus. Steady efforts by both the students and the campus authorities are
required to maintain this performance and better it. But, the scores attained by students
of both the degrees are below the National Average. Your campus must channelize its
efforts in improving the level of students of both degrees, in order to upgrade their overall
performance.
4. Computer Fundamentals
The performance of the students of both the degrees is equivalent in Computer
Fundamentals section. Students of both the degrees have scored above the National
Average, which is a good indication. Students should not lose their focus and continuously
put in the desired efforts to enhance their performance.
5. Computer Programming

21. MCA students, with a strong background in Computer Programming are known to have
good programming skills in comparison to B.Tech students. The comparison above proves
this point as it is evident that MCA students have given a remarkable performance in
Computer Programming. As both the degrees have scored below the National Average, it
is one area where high improvement is needed by students of both the fields
6. Electronics & Semiconductor
The performance of the students of both the degrees in Electronics and Semiconductor is
equivalent.
Our analysis shows that B.Tech/B.E students have performed well in English, Quantitative Ability
and Logical Ability modules, while they have not performed well in Computer Programming
module. Also, in Computer Fundamentals and Electronics & Semiconductor modules they have
performed equivalent to MCA students.

Electronics, Mechanical and Others students have done better in this section. The
Information Technology students need to pay more attention to these areas as they have
underperformed.
3. Logical Ability
Electrical students have shown that they are the best when it comes to Logical Reasoning.
Others students follow them with a difference of 5.05 percentile while Computer Science
students are the last in the order with a difference of 22.68 percentile. Computer Science,
Electronics, Information Technology, Mechanical and Others students have not performed
up to the mark when compared with the National Average. On the brighter side, Electrical
students have done well with respect to the National Average.
4. Computer Fundamentals
Computer Fundamentals section is well attempted by Information Technology students
in comparison to the Computer Science students with a difference of 28.33 percentile.
Mechanical students' performance is comparatively lower with respect to the other
streams, scoring 41 percentile in this section. If nationwide comparison is made, then
Mechanical students have performed lower than the National Average, and Computer
Science, Electrical, Electronics, Information Technology and Others had done fairly well
with respect to the calculated National Average.
5. Computer Programming
When it comes to Computer Programming, Others students have grabbed the top position
among all streams. Mechanical are the last rankers with a 36.92 percentile difference.
Also, Consider that all the streams have scored low in comparison to the National Average.
6. Electronics & Semiconductor
When it comes to Electronics and Semiconductors, students of Electronics are the best
performers in comparison to the Electrical with a 20.44 percentile difference. We have
observed that Electrical students have scored low in comparison to the National Average
whereas Electronics are better performers with respect to the National Average.
In your campus, Electrical stream performed outstandingly well in maximum number of modules.

27. Aspiring Minds' Concluding Words
To summarize the overall analysis of your campus done by Aspiring Minds, key-points from all
sections are highlighted below:
• The performance of the B.Tech/B.E students in your campus is good in Quantitative Ability
and Computer Fundamentals, which is appreciable. They have performed satisfactory
in Logical Ability and Electronics & Semiconductor, whereas extra efforts can make a
tremendous difference in performance. However, the students' performance is not
satisfactory in English and Computer Programming, therefore additional training sessions
and corrective measures are required by the campus authorities.
• According to our analysis, 49% and 38% of your students are eligible to work in BPO
and Hardware & Networking companies respectively which is good and 22%, 3% and
9% of your students are eligible to work in Large IT companies, Small/Core Technology
companies and KPO respectively which is relatively low. It should be noted that 51% of
the students do not meet the company criteria at all and need training to be eligible for
these companies.
• Our analysis shows that B.Tech/B.E students have performed well in English, Quantitative
Ability and Logical Ability modules, while they have not performed well in Computer
Programming module. Also, in Computer Fundamentals and Electronics & Semiconductor
modules they have performed equivalent to MCA students.
• In your campus, Electrical stream performed outstandingly well in maximum number of
modules. Also, Mechanical stream performed poorly in maximum number of modules in
comparison to other streams, and therefore need special attention.
The strongest recommendation Aspiring Minds will like to give is initiation of classes to improve the
weak areas of candidates. Apart from classes, regular quizzes and special training session should
also be initiated, where students answer questions under time constraints. The classes should be
student oriented so that the students are open to questions and are free to ask their doubts. Peer
teaching can be another way to increase the learning of students in the class
Along with increasing the employability of the institute, this will help your students compete with
other candidates in a more effective and efficient way. With regard to areas where your students
scored well, a sustained effort is needed. Regular assignments of problems should be given so that
the students can accelerate their performance.
We strongly request the campus authorities to direct all students to follow the feedback given
by Aspiring Minds to each one of them. The campus authorities can go a long way in reminding
students about their strengths and weaknesses, thus encouraging them to uphold their strengths
and improve on their weaknesses. Consider special classes, better teaching processes and focused
courses so that students get a good platform to improve and perform. We also strongly suggest
conducting AMCAT again at campus after 4 months of dedicated hard work by students and campus
authorities. This shall give students a benchmark to improve themselves, and help us understand

II. Statistical Significance (Confidence)
All score distributions generally follow a pattern called the National Average (alternatively,
Gaussian) distribution. National Average distribution is by far the most common assumption with
regard to score distribution. For the purpose of comparison, we express AMCAT scores as National
Average distribution. The most characteristic feature of National Average distribution is that the
scores for maximum number of students fall in a very narrow range around the average value.
The percentage of scores lying in the range falls exponentially as we move away from the average
value. The confidence percentage, which ranges from 0% to 100%, can be indicates the chances of
the difference in scores arising by chance. A high confidence percent indicates that it is very likely

33. that the difference observed is real and not by chance. In this analysis, we classify differences, with
confidence 90% and high, as significantly different (that is, not by chance).
III. National Average (Norm)
To construct the norms (National Average), balanced sampling was used to select more than
5000 students tested by Aspiring Minds nationwide. Balanced sampling technique ensures that
the selected candidates are representative of entry-level job-aspirants over 12 states in India. It is
ensured that the sample contains different degrees, specialization, gender, regions, etc. in the same
composition as the National distribution.
To summarize score distribution of the norms and XYZ Institute of Technology students, two values
(statistics) were used: average of the scores and standard deviation of the scores. While the former
value indicates what, on average, candidates score in the test, the latter value tells how much
do scores deviate from the average. High value of standard deviation means that the scores are
dissimilar and spread across the scale. In contrast, a low value of standard deviation means that
candidates score similar to each other and the average.
IV. Variance (Standard Deviation)
The variance (or standard deviation) is a measure of how spread out a distribution is. In other
words, it is the measure of variability. A low standard deviation indicates that the data points tend
to be very close to the same value (the average), while high standard deviation indicates that the
data are spread out over a large range of values.
