In the modern world, we all know that assessment centers have been found to be used in the Second World War!
However, did you know that the methodology of Assessment Centers in India is known to have been used 1500 years ago in Kautilyaโs _Arthashastra_?
Different methods of assessing a candidate for ministerial positions have been spelt out in the _Arthashastra_ including:
Observation
Performance appraisal
Assessments by those who knew the candidate
Interviewing
Other forms of testing
Even the idea of โSwayamvaras’ organized in ancient India is an ideal example of Assessment Centers
These โSwayamvarasโ were organized by emperors for choosing a suitable groom for their daughters from a group of prospective grooms!
