of helping the larger population including parents, teachers and students to initiate
a dialogue on academic choices leading to better career ahead in life. SGAI
assessment is not binding on the schools or the students. It should be taken only as
an indicator or a facilitator to empower a child with “self knowledge” and enable
the child in making informed academic choices. However, the results of SGAI taken
together with the student’s assessment from other sources might help students and
parents in making informed academic choices.
