National Test Abhyas

Context

Union Human Resource Development Minister launched an AI-powered mobile app called the ‘National Test Abhyas'.

About National Test Abhyas

  • The App has been developed by NTA to enable candidates to take mock tests for upcoming exams such as JEE Main, NEET under the NTA’s purview.
  • The app has been launched to facilitate candidates’ access to high-quality mock tests in the safety and comfort of their homes since there was a demand for making up the loss of students due to the closure of educational institutions and NTA’s Test-Practice Centers (TPCs) due to the continuing lockdown.
  • Students across the country can use the App to access high-quality tests, free of cost, in a bid to be fully prepared for the upcoming JEE, NEET and other competitive exams.
  • They can be completed off-line, thus economising on internet availability too.
  • The app will make available practice tests on smartphones or computers for all students in India irrespective of their level of access to devices and quality of the network.
  • The app also has an offline mode where students, on downloading the mock tests, can attempt the test without the internet. The app works on Android-based smartphones and tablets and can be downloaded from Google Play Store. The app will be soon available on iOS.
