Directions: The question is independent of one another.

There needs to be a significant change in the evaluation policy of many post graduation colleges when recruiting from graduation colleges. Most post-grad colleges look at academic performance, and as a result many deserving candidates are not even evaluated by these colleges. Aptitude tests, on the other hand, are better indicators of future academic performance, and deserve a look in. Which of the following is an assumption of the passage?

  1. Aptitude tests have proven themselves as cost-effective tools to weed out poor performers.

  2. Academic standards in graduation colleges is not upto mark.

  3. Colleges currently are not using correct parameters for evaluation.

  4. Aptitude tests are not yet popular amongst post-grad colleges as a tool for prospective student assessment.

D Correct answer
Explanation

The passage argues that aptitude tests deserve more consideration from post-grad colleges. For this argument to be valid, it must be assuming that aptitude tests are currently not widely used or popular among these colleges. If aptitude tests were already popular tools for assessment, the author's recommendation that they 'deserve a look in' would be unnecessary. The other options are not assumptions but potential consequences or separate claims.
