[5] In its first year of operation, 53 companies, including Fortune 500 companies such as Dell and General Electric hired through pH Test.

pH Test

pH Test or Hiring Potential Test is an assessment exam conducted by eLitmus. [3] Companies use pH Test as a criterion for hiring employees. The test consists of three parts- the Quantitative section, the Verbal section and the Reasoning section. Results are declared in two formats: percentile score and total score. [3] Companies call test-takers for interviews on the basis of pH score and their own criteria.

The first pH Test was held on 24 April 2005 across 12 cities of India [5] and was taken by 930 candidates. [8] This value increased to more than 62,000 candidates taking the test in 2011 across more than 37 cities of India. [9]

Many top IT companies such as Accenture, Collabera, McAfee and Novell, IBM, CGI, among others have used the eLitmus pH score on numerous occasions to recruit candidates. [10]
