The Economist featured Aspiring Minds in an article on January 28th 2010, which draws from Aspiring Minds’ skill assessment report based on standardized assessment (AMCAT) of more than 40,000 technical graduates across India. The report is first of its kinds wherein employability

is adjudged based on actual hiring benchmarks on a standardized test set by multiple companies in IT/ITeS related sectors. The report also identifies the skill gaps objectively, which need to be addressed. As the article in Economist also notes, Aspiring Minds’ study clearly show that a huge talent pool (more than 70% of the total) remain untapped by corporates leading to an artificial dip in supply. The students face an opportunity asymmetry challenging the basic right to equal opportunity to employment.
