01IT/ITeS Fundamentals and Digital Literacy
This foundation domain tests vocabulary and units: whether you can separate IT (hardware, software, networking products) from ITeS (business processes delivered using IT), and whether you can handle storage units, file formats and India's digital-public-service tools confidently. Data = raw facts; information = processed data with meaning; knowledge = information applied to a decision.
327 words, about 2 min02Computer Hardware
Computer Hardware tests your knowledge of what sits inside the system unit, how the memory hierarchy works, which port carries which signal, and whether you can diagnose a performance complaint logically instead of guessing. CPU : ALU performs arithmetic and logic, CU fetches–decodes–executes, registers hold the operands in use.
308 words, about 2 min03Operating Systems and Peripherals
This domain checks whether you understand what an operating system actually manages, how files are located and named, how drivers connect software to hardware, and the difference between the power states you use every day. Manages processes, memory, files, devices and security, and provides the user interface.
293 words, about 1 min04Office Productivity Software
This domain tests practical control of a word processor, spreadsheet and presentation tool - the features that appear in skill-subject practicals: styles, mail merge, cell referencing, functions, charts, slide masters and transitions. Heading styles build an automatic table of contents; changing a style updates every heading at once.
330 words, about 2 min05Internet, Web Technologies and Digital Communication
This domain examines whether you can read a URL correctly, explain DNS and HTTPS, use email fields safely, and apply netiquette in workplace communication. The Internet is the global network of networks; the World Wide Web is one service on it, accessed through HTTP/HTTPS.
285 words, about 1 min06Data Entry, Keyboard Skills and Documentation Practices
This domain tests measurable typing performance and the documentation discipline around it: how speed is calculated, how accuracy is judged, how the numeric keypad is used, and how records are kept verifiable. Accuracy is graded before speed; a fast but error-prone entry is a failed entry.
305 words, about 2 min07Database Concepts and Data Management
This domain checks whether you can read a table design, pick a correct key, and write simple SQL - plus whether you understand why databases replaced loose files for storing organisational data. A field is a column (attribute), a record is a row (one entity instance), a table is a relation.
321 words, about 2 min08Introduction to Programming and Logic Building
This domain tests logic rather than any one language: whether you can convert a problem into ordered steps, draw or read a flowchart, trace a loop accurately, and name the type of error in a faulty program. Algorithm: finite, ordered, unambiguous steps with a clear stop point.
311 words, about 2 min09IT-Enabled Services
This domain tests the business vocabulary of the ITeS industry: how services are classified, which delivery model applies, and which metric a client actually measures. ITeS are services delivered over IT networks: BPO, KPO, LPO, medical transcription, e-publishing, GIS, animation, HR and payroll outsourcing.
269 words, about 1 min10BPO/ITES Operations and Customer Handling
This domain simulates the floor: call structure, empathy language, hold procedure, escalation and the arithmetic of service metrics. It rewards candidates who can compute AHT and choose the professional response under pressure.
281 words, about 1 min11Cyber Safety, Ethics and Data Privacy
This domain tests whether you can identify an attack, name it correctly, and cite the right law and reporting channel - plus whether you behave ethically with other people's data. Malware: virus (needs a host file), worm (self-propagates across networks), trojan (disguised as useful), ransomware (encrypts data and demands payment), spyware/keylogger (steals input).
321 words, about 2 min12Entrepreneurship
This domain tests whether you can move from an idea to a viable venture: testing demand, costing a product, computing break-even, choosing a legal form and identifying genuine support schemes. Path: idea → opportunity (real need, feasibility, profitability) → business plan → funding → launch → review.
303 words, about 2 min13Employability Skills and Workplace Communication
This domain tests whether you can communicate like an employee rather than a student: choose the right channel, write a clear email, present results in an interview, and give feedback that changes behaviour. The 7Cs: clear, concise, concrete, correct, coherent, complete, courteous.
