Does India have any standardized tests like the SAT that all students have to take?
As far as I am aware, 7th and 10th grade exams are marked by the state but I don't know of any standardized tests.
I think its important that such tests are introduced and gifted children identified based on their performance and channelled into research rather than IT or some other mundane job.
I mean gifted in the sense of Euler, Gauss, Ramanujan etc that show an ability to think out of the box in certain areas.
