What is  Problem Solving Assessment (PSA)

PSA is a pen-paper test to evaluate the skills of verbal communication, analytical reasoning, critical thinking, creative thinking, decision making among students. It is widely recognised that the skills of verbal communication, analytical reasoning, critical thinking, creative thinking, decision making and generic skills play a crucial role for every individual in order to be successful in personal as well as professional life. With the objectives of promoting and assessing these skills in the students, the Board initiated the conduct of Problem solving Assessment in February, 2013. The initiative of the Board has been widely accepted and appreciated by the stakeholders.
