TCS makes National Qualifier Test scores accessible to other corporates

New Delhi: Companies can now use the National Qualifier Test (NQT) conducted by the IT services company Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) to recruit their staff.

TCS conducts the NQT for its own recruitment. Till last year, NQT was restricted to hiring for TCS. Now other corporates can recruit on the basis of scores obtained in it.

The IT major said it has received interest from various companies on this initiative.

NQT, which is conducted by the TCS strategic unit TCS iON, is a multi-level assessment to assess competence on core cognitive abilities required for entry-level jobs, industry-specific knowledge and insights, and specialisation on skills required for performing the job role. Introduced in 2018, NQT last year saw more than 3.6 lakh students participating from over 2,600 colleges.
