  • National Intelligence Test

The National Intelligence Test (NIT) is the nationwide 'Comparative Academic Rating Examination' conducted by the Brainfra Edutech (P) Limited in states and union territories of India intended to evaluate educational systems by measuring scholastic performance of students from class VI to class XII on the basis of subjective knowledge, interview facing capacity and skill of stage presentation. Its aim is to provide comparable data with a view to enable states and union territories to improve their education policies and outcomes.

This Program is designed to help close some big gaps in education-the gap between research and action, between stated goals and policy and between perception and reality. Few will argue that these gaps exist when it comes to the way education is delivered in this country. In what other industry would the majority of proven research be discarded in favor of an overused, discredited model? In education, the research unequivocally supports a student- centered model but schools and school systems overwhelmingly favor the older mass-production model of schooling. Where else is there such a gaping chasm between the stated goals of an organization and the policies that are adopted to accomplish those goals? In education, there is widespread support for the idea that every student is important and yet, in practice, systems are setup to favor a few at the expense of the many. As for the gap between perception and reality, the perception among most parents, communities and policy makers is that failing schools can be "fixed" by doing more of what has failed. The reality is that failing schools need a completely new approach that engages students and co-opts them into the learning process.

And what about the “successful” schools, those whose students rank high on standardized tests and go on to college in impressive numbers? These have an even lesser incentive to change even though they are better at selecting talent than at nurturing it. Why do these gross disconnects exist? Mainly, the problem lies in the entrenched nature of bureaucracies. Systems designed for a different time and for a different set of needs have since become fragmented and deeply compartmentalized. Even where there is commonality of purpose, the "systems" themselves remain hopelessly gridlocked. Communities need to bypass the system and focus instead on making a set of specific strategies happen. Systemic roadblocks can be more easily identified and overcome when they prevent some specific strategy from being implemented. This approach is more practical than wholesale systemic improvement which is nearly impossible to implement except in the most desperate of circumstances.

Another attractiveness of this method of instituting change through the implementation of specific strategies is that it is very flexible and can be tailored to the needs of any given community. It permits districts with modest goals to begin with small victories and uses them to leverage more widespread change. For those with more ambitious expectations, change efforts can be focused on specific strategies. Even widespread change is more easily managed when broken up into easily measured chunks.

By providing a simple and common vocabulary that all school constituents can use, this Program bridges the gap between lay-persons and experts. It can thus help diverse school constituents to work together toward realizing shared expectations.

Objectives

  1. India's education system emphasizes literacy but "Brainfra Edutech Private Limited" wants to make education system as employment-oriented. So that, by putting school education in the mold of competitive examinations, any student can get maximum success with minimum effort. Therefore, we invite online applications from students of class 6 to Graduation for orientation of competitive examinations.
  2. Comparative evaluation of students' qualifications by "National Intelligence Test" and giving them useful counseling to enhance their abilities qualitatively and enabling students and enabling students to understand the pressure of real competitive examinations by creating a virtual environment of competitive examinations.
  3. Organizing an annual career counseling camp at each district/block headquarters, inviting all registered students of that district/block and providing them detailed information about all aspects of competitive examinations. Apart from this, the expert panel has to resolve the natural curiosities regarding the career of the students.
  4. To inspire the students to develop their original ideas in the current multi-dimensional era and mentally prepare themselves to adjust to the current social, economic and political environment and also, motivating students to collaborate in place of mutual competition to make them good citizen.
  5. To conduct free short term courses in rural schools for detailed information regarding competitive examinations related to national and state level government jobs and also to create an intellectual platform of students where all the students can develop their own all round on the basis of their comparative findings through mutual healthy debate.
  6. To conduct free coaching classes for the talented and financially weak students of class 12 selected on the basis of merit priority in "National Intelligence Test" and to provide 247 hour subject-wise necessary educational support and guidance to all the registered students.

Impact

NIT assessments of educational attainment shall be increasingly used in the process of education policymaking at both national and state levels. NIT may be conceived to set in a wider context the information provided by national monitoring of education system performance through regular assessments within a common, nationally agreed framework; by investigating relationships between student learning and other factors they can "offer insights into sources of variation in performances within and between states".

The impact of this national standardised assessment in the field of educational policy will be significant, in terms of the creation of new knowledge, changes in assessment policy, and external influence over national educational policy more broadly.

Creation of New Knowledge

Data from national standardised assessments can be useful in research on causal factors within or across education systems. The databases generated by large-scale national assessments have made it possible to carry out inventories and comparisons of education systems on an unprecedented scale on themes ranging from the conditions for learning mathematics and science, to institutional autonomy and admissions policies. They allow typologies to be developed that can be used for comparative statistical analyses of education performance indicators, thereby identifying the consequences of different policy choices. They will generate new knowledge about education. NIT findings shall challenge deeply embedded educational practices, such as the early tracking of students into vocational or academic pathways.

NIT provides a common reference connecting academic research in education and the political realm of public policy, operating as a mediator between different strands of knowledge from the realm of education and public policy. However, although the key findings from comparative assessments are widely shared in the research community the knowledge they create does not necessarily fit with government reform agendas; this leads to some inappropriate uses of assessment data.

Changes in National Assessment Policy

Emerging research suggests that national standardised assessments are having an impact on state assessment policy and practice. NIT may be integrated into state policies and practices on assessment, evaluation, curriculum standards and performance targets; its assessment frameworks and instruments are being used as best-practice models for improving national assessments. Many states may explicitly incorporate and emphasise NIT-like competencies in revised state standards and curricula; others use NIT data to complement state data and validate state results against the national benchmark.

External Influence over National Educational Policy

More important than its influence on country's policy of student assessment, is the range of ways in which NIT is going to influence country's education policy choices. Policy-makers in most participating states and union territories will see NIT as an important indicator of system performance; NIT results can define policy problems and set the agenda for national policy debate; policymakers may accept NIT as a valid and reliable instrument for nationally benchmarking system performance and changes over time; most states—irrespective of whether they performed above, at, or below the average NIT score—will begin policy reforms in response to NIT reports.

National policy actors will refer to high-performing NIT states to "help legitimize and justify their intended reform agenda within contested national policy debates". NIT data can be "used to fuel long-standing debates around pre- existing conflicts or rivalries between different policy options. In such instances, NIT assessment data are used selectively: in public discourse governments often only use superficial features of NIT surveys such as state rankings and not the more detailed analyses.

In addition, NIT's national comparisons can be used to justify reforms with which the data themselves have no connection. NIT data may be used to justify new arrangements for teacher assessment (based on inferences that were not justified by the assessments and data themselves); they also fed the government's discourse about the issue of pupils repeating a year, which, according to research, fails to improve student results.

Structure of Examination

It is, actually, an exclusive three tier academic knowledge and comprehensive skill based 'Comparative Academic Rating Examination' of Brainfra Edutech (P) Limited for 'School Toppers' of Class VI to Class XII only where Rewards and Recognition are being introduced at each level.

Rewards & Recognition

We introduce Rewards and Recognition as a tool for students' motivation. Understanding what motivates a student has always been a key challenge for teachers, but considering the importance of it for motivating students to enhance their performance; we have to attempt continuously to promote it better.

Rewarding aims at strategically designing ways to compensate students for their efforts and contribution towards their studies in monetary terms. Rewarding assesses how we share the pleasure of students' efforts to success generously and fairly with them.

Provisions have been made for Rewards on National Level for 'Top Three' students of every class. The table carrying the detailed information about the monetary rewards is given below:
