Aptitude testing, realistic expectation-setting, and guidance beyond engineering and medicine
What the Bill says
An aptitude test must be conducted to assess the student's capability, and the centre may convey a realistic expectation to parents and suggest a way forward. Students and parents must be told in writing that admission is no guarantee of success. Information about career options other than engineering and medicine must be provided.
Why it matters
This asks centres to advise students away from their own courses when the aptitude does not fit. It works only if the aptitude instrument and the counsellor certification are standardised by the State rather than left to each centre.
