Oxford University has terminated its deal with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) following technical glitches experienced by students during the online admissions test. The university decided to end its association with TCS for the delivery of Oxford admissions tests in the future.
The decision comes after candidates faced technical problems during the online admissions tests conducted by TCS. The university emphasized its commitment to ensuring a high-quality experience for all candidates and those supporting them. The details of the new arrangements for admissions tests will be communicated in the Spring, marking the start of the next admissions round.
Oxford University had selected TCS iON, the learning and assessments-focused unit of TCS, in April 2023 to conduct admission tests, replacing Cambridge Admissions Assessment Testing. The move to terminate the deal is based on careful consideration of the issues and feedback from candidates, teachers, and test centers.
