career counselling Psychometric Assessment
There is always an option for Offline Career Assessment. The traditional method of Career Counseling that has been followed for decades is the paper and pen type. Technology has made things more convenient when compared to the manual work. But we can always go back to those techniques whenever necessary. Edumilestones also helps Career Counselors like us make this come true.
This is one question which I would love to answer ,as being a career coach and having the vision to cater to underprivileged children who do not possess smart phones,laptop or even internet connectivity it was something that irked me as well .Thankfully had an Aha moment when I realised that I have been trained to conduct offline assessments as well.And moreover sometimes an assessment may not be needed at all in such cases a thorough pre counselling and a subsequent counselling by one on one interaction ( physically) could be an option .
And also pen paper test or OMR sheets can be used to conduct psychometrics .
Do reach out to me for such cases .Would love to help !!!

You can check with your technology partner for provision of offline assessment.
Some technology also gives option of starting from wherever the test stopped. We offer this feature.
If it s one of those rare cases then counselor can be online and fill the questionnaire on behalf the students.
If a student doesn t have a stable internet connectivity, he/she may carry on offline career assessment. He should contact career counsellor and get the OMR sheet and give it back to the career counselor with answers ticked on it.
He will get the career report withing 2/3 days.
Career assessmemnt for ease of functioning is attempted on line. The system has an inbuilt mechanism that in case interrupted ,the next session starts from the stage where it had stopped.
Moreover adequate redundancy has been incorporated so that in extreme sitautions the assessment test can be facilitated offline using OMR sheets.
