Introduction

The educational landscape in India is changing rapidly. TaPTaP enhances employability through:

  • Monthly assessments and analytical feedback

    Regular METs simulate placement conditions and generate actionable reports showing strengths, weaknesses and suggested remediation for each student.

  • Curated learning recommendations

    After each test, TaPTaP maps gaps to targeted learning resources — videos, micro-lessons and practice exercises tailored to a student's skill band.

  • AI‑based interview practice

    JD-aware mock interviews with real-time scoring and coachable feedback on communication, content, and confidence.

  • Job‑matching and recruiter workflows

    Recruiters can post roles, create role-specific assessments and shortlist candidates based on employability score and interview performance.

Objective

TaPTaP's objectives are to:

  • Increase training efficiency and reduce placement costs

    By standardising assessment and remediation processes, institutions spend less per successful placement and clarity improves on ROI for training programs.

  • Improve student learning and placement ratios

    Frequent practice, personalised learning paths and interview coaching together increase readiness and success in hiring cycles.

  • Centralize recruiter engagement

    A single platform for recruiters reduces friction, simplifies test packs, and improves conversion from outreach to hires.

  • Provide data‑backed accreditation reports

    Automated evidence collection and export-ready templates help institutions meet NAAC/NIRF/NBA requirements with less manual work.

Background: Diagnostic Test

TaPTaP starts with a profiling diagnostic to assess skills across:

  • Employability score & band

    A composite score that summarises aptitude, coding and communication to quickly identify a student's position relative to hiring bands.

  • Aptitude and reasoning

    Standard quantitative and logical reasoning evaluations similar to common placement tests.

  • Language skills

    Listening, speaking, reading and writing assessments to measure employability-related communication skills.

  • Coding proficiency

    Language-specific coding tests with automatic test-case evaluation and time/space complexity hints for feedback.
