NATA: An Entrance Test for Internships

Switch Idea, a Mumbai based venture introduced India’s first intern pre­screening aptitude examination called National Talent Acquisition Test (NTAT). It was created to help partner companies pre­screen interns and connect with verified students in a simple and convenient way. Switch Idea was started by Yadav and Rohit Maku, because when they graduated from college, they found there were not enough opportunities for students and graduates to connect with companies.
What is NTAT?
  • National Talent Acquisition Test (NTAT) is a proprietary test offered by Switch Idea to make hiring interns easy and painless.
  • More than 1500 companies uses NTAT’s database for their hiring needs, including MeraEvents, CISCO, Intel, Philips, Dell, CargoExchange, Tech Trunk, Neti Software, eBay, CampusDiaries, Freecharge, Intel India, Logitia Solutions, Flipkart and many others.
  • NTAT’s core focus is to encourage undergraduates (UG) to do an internship while in college; helping them build and develop professional connections, and giving a realistic perspective on refining the career goals.
  • The result was an online platform that helps students discover the best internships and entry level openings in a hassle free manner.

How to Apply?
  • Students and recent graduates can register for an upcoming National Talent Acquisition Test at a nominal fee.
  • The number of slots left for an upcoming test is shown in real time.
  • Students should register for the National Talent Acquisition Test 2015 on www.switchidea.com/ntat  and bring their college ID, hall ticket, a printed copy of their resume and a black ballpoint pen to the test venue.

When and Where?

  • After students take the National Talent Acquisition Test, their scores are integrated into their profiles.
  • Since student identity is manually verified at the examination centre, companies accessing the Switch Idea database are assured of students’ identities, college associations and the degrees they are pursuing.
