Assessments
Multi-section campus tests: aptitude, coding, and written in one sitting
Give each skill a section with its own weight and time. Then be honest about which sections can run on a phone.
Companies rarely send a single question type. Campus mocks should not either. A combined paper only works if section scores mean something — and if device limits are explicit.
Edgeryt Campus assessments can combine MCQ, coding, numerical, and written responses. You configure section timing and scoring for the skills being assessed.
Design the paper backwards from the company
If visiting recruiters always run aptitude + coding, your mock should too. If a core branch will never see a coding round, do not punish them with one.
For each section write:
- Skill it measures
- Format
- Time
- Weight
- Device (phone-compatible vs computer)

Timing and navigation
Decide whether students can move between sections and whether they can return to earlier questions. Back-navigation changes both difficulty and leak risk. Put the rule on the invite.
Shuffling and pass marks should be set before publish. Changing them mid-drive makes department comparisons unfair.
How Edgeryt Campus runs it
Build the structure, attach a group, set proctoring, publish, invite. Results stay with the student, so a later drive does not start from a screenshot of a leaderboard.
Coding sections remain desktop-only. Written marking may use a model on eligible plans, with human review.
Adjacent area: negative marking
If you use it, say so. Silent negative marking is how good students panic and weak papers look “hard.”
Questions teams ask
How many sections is too many?
If the sitting exceeds the lab slot or student attention, merge. Four focused sections beat eight tiny ones.
Can we reuse sections across mocks?
Reuse items from the bank. Rebuild the assessment version so scores stay comparable inside a drive, not accidentally across years.
Can companies see section scores?
Only through a process you choose. Employers assessing applicants should still run Hire.
