Unfair testing

The General Amplitude Test (GAT) has been made compulsory for graduate students wanting to pursue postgraduate studies. How can one put a moratorium on students from getting higher education merely on the basis of this time-management test? The GAT is not an effective measuring tool to gauge a student’s capability

The General Amplitude Test (GAT) has been made compulsory for graduate students wanting to pursue postgraduate studies. How can one put a moratorium on students from getting higher education merely on the basis of this time-management test? The GAT is not an effective measuring tool to gauge a student’s capability for postgraduate studies. Parts of it are not even relevant to some degrees.
Education has never been a priority of policymakers in this country. I request the government to revise its policies regarding the GAT and postgraduate studies.
