The Student Readiness Profile

A profile, not a pass-or-fail exam. It takes about 40 minutes, begins with a parent's consent, and gives one of three results with practical suggestions.

What it looks at

Area	How
Academic competencies	Reading, language, learning something new, thinking, and mathematics at about Class 8–9 level
Emotional and social	Situations: a failed test, a hostel conflict, a friend who wants to copy
Habits, attitudes, mindset	How you plan, restrain yourself, commit, and take responsibility
Physical	Your own report of sleep, activity, food and screen time
Service and values	Why you want to be a doctor, in your own words; honesty and restraint

The online profile decides who is invited. The supervised campus assessment, on paper, decides who is admitted. Rural students are not penalised for lack of exposure.

Step 2 of 9

Before you begin

About 40 minutes, in five sections. You can pause; your place is kept in this browser tab.
Answer honestly, as things are, not as they should be. There are no trick questions.
No help from anyone or anything. The campus assessment, on paper, is what decides admission; this profile is for alignment and self-discovery.
Section A is in English. Your own written answers may be in English or Kannada.

Step 3 of 9

Section A: academic competencies

A1. Reading

Every morning at six, Lakshmamma opens the small tea stall beside the bus stand in Hoskote. Her first customers are the two conductors of the 7:10 bus to Bengaluru, who drink standing up because the bus will not wait. Then come the labourers from the brick kiln, who sit on the bench and share one newspaper between five of them. By nine, the students from the government college arrive; they order one tea each and ask for extra sugar, and Lakshmamma always says the sugar is finished, because she has promised their physics teacher, who is her nephew, that she will not let them drink too much of it.

She has run the stall for nineteen years. In that time she has seen the road widened twice, the bus stand rebuilt once, and the price of milk rise from twelve rupees a litre to fifty-six. She keeps her accounts in a long notebook, one line per day, and has never missed a day of writing it, not even the day her daughter was born. “If I do not write it,” she says, “I will not know whether I am going forward or backward.”

A3. Learning something new

A short lesson on something new: how an Indian PIN code is built.

A PIN code has six digits. The first digit tells you the region of the country: 1 and 2 are the north, 3 and 4 the west, 5 and 6 the south, 7 and 8 the east, and 9 is kept for army post offices. The first two digits together name a smaller area, usually one state or part of a state; for example, 56 is Karnataka. The first three digits name the sorting district, the main post office where mail for that area is sorted. The last three digits name the individual delivery post office.

So two addresses that share the first three digits are sorted in the same place, even if their last three digits differ. And a PIN code that starts with 9 is handled by the army postal service, wherever the soldier is posted.

1. How many digits does a PIN code have?FourFiveSixEightPlease choose one answer.
