Hi Prof. Uma,
Greetings from Bloomberg! It was a pleasure interacting with you.
BAT is a global, standardized online exam that the Bloomberg Institute has developed in collaboration with financial professionals, recruiters and academics. Designed for graduates and undergraduates who are interested in a financial job or internship, the BAT tests the skills that matter most to employers. There are absolutely no financials involved for the first attempt.
About the BAT (Bloomberg Assessment Test)
- The BAT has been designed in conjunction with leading global financial institutions and academics to help outstanding students enter appropriate jobs in all areas of finance.
- If students want to stay one step ahead of their competitors, the BAT will:Allow them to advertise their availability and score to 20,000 global financial employers (if they choose)
- Give them an independent assessment report of their skills, knowledge and areas for improvement as well as the finance role which might best suit someone with their abilities - i.e. tailored careers advice
- Enable them to compare themselves against peers at their institution, in their region and around the world.
The test is rapidly becoming an international industry standard, and has already had a big take-up at top universities across Europe, the US and Asia at universities such as Cambridge, Bocconni, Cornell, Duke, London School of Economics, Oxford, IIMs and more.
Please find attached some documents to give you further insights about the test. You may circulate these documents to the students for their perusal. For more information about the test, log onto

Further, there is NO RESTRICTION on the educational background and stream of the student to appear for the BAT. We are seeking great minds that would be the best fit for the industry.
Looking forward to speak to you soon!
