A Study of Unevenness in Selection due to Location

Efforts have been made in the past to develop technologies and tools for selection of personnel, which have no or little concern to the caste, race, age, gender, place of birth or location or their socio-economic conditions. This gave rise to the development of non-verbal culture free tests. The studies conducted in this area, however, has revealed wide variations in the performance of the candidates on the tools and techniques used for selection due to such variables. The reason being that the differences in the performance of the candidates are not due to variations in socioeconomic and cultural conditions alone but due to variations in learning experience. This report tries to investigate the variation in the average performance of the candidates of different centres in the disciplines of Generalists, Accounts, Information Technology, Law and Engineering as well as the differences in the performance of the candidates of different centres at important percentile in the disciplines of Generalists, Accounts, Information Technology, Law and Engineering.
