Define and Conduct Online Aptitude Test

How to define and conduct an online aptitude test

Aptitude tests on Eklavvya cover four standard pillars: numerical, verbal, logical / abstract, and spatial / mechanical. The platform supports practice / mock tests, negative marking, cut-off marks, AI proctoring, and topic-wise reporting.

Step 1 — Create the aptitude test

1. Log in as admin.
2. Go to Exam → Create Exam.
3. Select Aptitude Test as the exam type.
4. Give it a name, total duration, and total marks.

Step 2 — Add questions by topic

1. Go to Question Bank → Add Question.
2. For each question, set the topic (e.g. Numerical Ability, Logical Reasoning, Verbal, Spatial).
3. Choose MCQ, Multi-select, Fill in the Blank, or True/False as the question format.
4. Set marks per question and the correct answer.
5. You can either author from scratch or use the AI Question Bank Generator to bulk-generate topic-wise aptitude questions.

Step 3 — Configure scoring rules

• Negative marking — enable and set the deduction (e.g. −0.25 marks per wrong answer).
• Section cut-offs — set minimum marks per topic. Useful when each pillar must clear independently.
• Overall cut-off — minimum total marks to pass.
• Time-boxing — set a per-question timer if the test should not allow back-navigation.

Step 4 — Configure candidate experience

• Question randomization — shuffle question order per candidate.
• Option randomization — shuffle MCQ options.
• Mark for review — allow candidates to flag and return to questions.
• Calculator — enable an on-screen calculator (numerical aptitude tests).
• Proctoring — enable AI / image / video proctoring as needed.

Step 5 — Publish and assign

1. Save and publish the exam.
2. Assign to candidates from Schedule → Assign Exam.
3. Candidates receive their login link by email / SMS / WhatsApp depending on your communication settings.

Step 6 — Review results

After candidates finish, go to Result → Candidate Result → select the aptitude test → choose Topic-wise Result from the Action menu to see per-pillar performance. Percentile rank and overall pass/fail are available in the same view.

Mock / practice tests

To offer candidates a practice run before the real test, create a duplicate exam with the Mock flag enabled. Mock test marks are not counted in the main result. Candidates can attempt mocks multiple times.
