The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has decided to conduct Know Your Aptitude (KYA) test for students of class 9th and 10th. The Board has come up with this idea to evaluate students’ aptitude and ability before they decide about their career. The test aims at helping students make an informative decision while choosing subjects in class 11 & 12. The board announced this through a circular on its official website, cbse.nic.in.
The circular states that ‘Know Your Aptitude (KYA) will help students understand their strengths and limitations before making important career choices. The test ‘would also help parents, teachers and the school administrators to extend support to the student while making such decisions.’

How to Register Know Your Aptitude (KYA) Test?
The online registration process for KYA test will begin from January 29, 2019. The students need to register through their schools only. No individual candidates can register for the test. CBSE affiliated schools can register through the official website of CBSE i.e., cbse.nic.in. Please note that it is not a mandatory exam. Only interested schools can register for KYA assessment exam.
How to take the Test?
Students can take the test using the school’s log-in ID on a day selected by the school authorities. After the test, the answer sheets will be evaluated by the teachers of the school on the basis of the scoring guidelines issued by the CBSE Board. Then, schools can send a report on how the test was conducted, but they don’t have to share the details of students with the board.
The board also stated that the test is voluntary. The KYA score and assessment details of students will be made available to both parents and teachers.
