Chandigarh, Mar 31 (UNI) The Department of Information Technology through SPIC is organising the country's second National Assessment of Competence (NAC) Test in collaboration with NASSCOM on April two here.

India's first NAC test was rolled out in Sikkim and the second one will be rolled out here. This test is accepted as a bench mark for entry into the IT/ITES industry in the whole country. The NAC test will help industry create an assessed and certified talent workforce to cater to their needs.

NASSCOM in association with Hewitt Associates and through extensive industry participation has created an Assessment and Certification Programme which becomes industry standard nationally and ensures the transformation of a ''trainable'' workforce into an employable workforce.

It also helps the industry in cost savings through cutting off steps from the recruitment process resulting in reduced cycle time and more efficient utilisation of resources.

Director Information Technology (IT) of Chandigarh, Vivek Atray said today the NAC Test will give students certification which will be recognised nationally and also provide better job opportunities in the BPO Industry.
