Oxford University Terminates TCS Deal Over Admission Test Glitches
Deccan ChronicleNew Delhi: The Oxford University has terminated its deal with Tata Consultancy Services after students experienced technical glitches while taking online admission test for the institution. “Following the technical problems experienced by some candidates during the delivery of this year’s online admissions tests by a new provider, TCS will not be involved in the delivery of Oxford admissions tests going forward,” a spokesperson for the university said. In April 2023, the UK-based institution selected TCS iON, the learning and assessments-focused unit of TCS, for conducting the admission tests, replacing Cambridge Admissions Assessment Testing. The university attributed complaints by candidates about technical issues faced while taking online tests for calling off the handover.
