Hi,
I will share different kinds of assessment centers where I played the role of assessor:
Assessment centers which will be of 2 days:
1) It has 5 to 6 different kinds of exercises which would measure the listed competencies for the specific level.
2) These exercises include individual as well as group participation.
3) Each competency will be measured through two or three exercises.
4) The assessor ratio would be 1:4.
5) The session ends with one-to-one feedback.
6) Detailed reports will be sent to the candidate directly.
Assessment Center which will be of three days:
1) It will cover a limited number of competencies.
2) 5 exercises, but each exercise will have sub-exercises.
3) Each exercise would measure one competency or a maximum of two.
4) The assessor ratio will be 2:2/4.
5) Consolidation of the scores and interpretation of the results.
6) No feedback at the end of the assessment. Reports will be sent later.
Assessment Center which will be of four days:
1) This kind of assessment center is like a stress interview.
2) The participants will be fully engaged in some exercises. It would also include 60% functional assessment through simulations and 40% leadership aspects.
3) The assessors would be in a 1:4 ratio.
4) No feedback at the end of the assessment. Reports will be sent later.
All this approach is confined to my experience with competency mapping.

The organization that has adopted the concept of an assessment center, to the best of my knowledge, includes:
- NTPC Ltd
- L&T
- Crompton Greaves
- Infosys
- Wipro
- Tisco
- GE
- Motorola
The assessment center should be implemented in three stages by any interested organization:
Stage I:
- Assessment center (AC) should be run only for those who have volunteered to be participants.
- Individual feedback should be given.
- Data should be used only for development purposes.
- Data should not be shared with the organization.
Stage II:
- AC should be made compulsory.
- Individual feedback should be given.
- Data should be used for development purposes only.
- Data should be shared with the organization so that necessary developmental inputs are provided to the participants.
Stage III:
- AC should be made compulsory.
- Individual feedback should be given.
- Data to be shared with the organization and used both to provide developmental inputs to the participants and as inputs for promotion decisions.
- Data should be used for developmental purposes.

Hello everyone,
Thank you for your response. As a part of my project, I have to conduct a survey on Assessment Centers in different organizations. It would be of great help to me if some of you could provide the contact number of an authorized person whose organization has an Assessment Center. Also, I need information about companies having their headquarters in Mumbai since I myself am a resident of Mumbai. Please send details about as many companies as possible.
Looking forward to a positive response.
Warm Regards,
