Hello Aspirant,

Yes , the news is true and is very likely to be implemented. The Common Aptitude Test will be conducted by the National Testing Agency where students will first have to appear for a general test (comprising logical reasoning, verbal and qualitative ability) and then for the subject-specific tests.  This is to eliminate the need to apply separately at different institutes or appear in multiple exams. This way students will not have to depend on 12th percentage alone. People who score 60% in 12th  can sit for the exam and clear it. It was said that it will be implemented from the academic session 2021-22 .The reports suggest that a seven-member committee will soon put forward their recommendations about the implementation and conduction of the Common Aptitude Test from the next this year.

All the best
