 The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will be conducting Students Global Aptitude Index (SGAI) from 2013 in an attempt to help students of classes IX and X to choose subjects for their senior secondary classes.

SGAI will be conducted in February next year to provide complete counselling through psychological measures to help students opt for different streams for class XI according to their aptitude. The SGAI will assist students to know their aptitude and the questions will not be from course books but will only include psychological questions determining their aptitude.

The SGAI which was started in 2011 was conducted by individual schools but the second time round in 2013, it will be conducted by the board itself.
