International Assessments for Indian Schools (IAIS) - Computer Skills - 2012

Official site - IAIS

The International Assessments for Indian Students, more popularly known as IAIS, has made an attempt to test the students' ability to apply the information to solve problems.

Today's students face a world that demands new knowledge and abilities. 'Knowing the basics', is no longer enough. In the new age global economy, students will need to think critically, to analyse, to extrapolate and to make inferences for success in school as well as in wider social and professional situations.

• IAIS makes the student realise that he can do more than he is doing now.
• IAIS helps the student use the concepts he has learnt to discover that they actually solve problems.
• IAIS infuses a sudden spurt of confidence in a student by letting him find out that application is more important than theory and that he is actually good at it.
• IAIS is the stage to practise for all those competitive exams that he will encounter in future.
• IAIS is different because it does what no other exam ever does or can do!
