pH Test edit

pH Test or Hiring Potential Test is an assessment exam conducted by eLitmus.[3] Companies use pH Test as a criterion for hiring employees. The test consists of three parts- the Quantitative section, the Verbal section and the Reasoning section. Results are declared in two formats: percentile score and total score.[3] Companies call test-takers for interviews on the basis of pH score and their own criteria.

The first pH Test was held on 24 April 2005 across 12 cities of India[5] and was taken by 930 candidates.[8] This value increased to more than 62,000 candidates taking the test in 2011 across more than 37 cities of India.[9]

Many top IT companies such as Accenture, Collabera, McAfee and Novell, IBM, CGI, among others have used the eLitmus pH score on numerous occasions to recruit candidates.[10]
