Kolkata, Jun 4 (IBNS): Shiv Nadar University (SNU) has appointed Pearson VUE, offering innovative computer-based testing solutions, to develop its computer-based admissions testing programme, the Shiv Nadar University Scholastic Aptitude Test (SNUSAT), and deliver it through the network of test centres.

SNU sought a customized, statistically valid, fair and reliable admissions test to further improve the likelihood of candidate success.

Using Pearson VUE’s psychometrics and content development teams, the new test will employ a broader range of aptitude questions to better measure candidate suitability.

Nikhil Sinha, Vice- Chancellor, SNU, said: “School grades are of course extremely important but as we offer a mix of programmes we want to be confident, with the support of a world-class aptitude test, that the students have the right mix of knowledge, behaviour and intelligence to succeed on our programmes.”

Sinha said, “We are looking forward to working with Pearson VUE in developing the new test, accessible nationwide, which will help us to better match more candidates with the potential to success at our institution.”

Bob Whelan, President and CEO, Pearson VUE, said: “We are seeing a growing appetite for robust, statistically valid testing across India’s leading organisations, and we are pleased to continue sharing international best practices in both test development and test delivery.”

Whelan added, “We are proud to be supporting SNU in both improving its existing admissions process and in turn, growing its candidate base.”

Pearson VUE has started to administer the existing test which launched this year.
