Abstract
The aptitude tests are useful for education organization for admission and selection of students and staff with right aptitude especially for professional education i.e. medical education. For both physical and mental i.e. objective aptitude tests have been developed and more are under evaluation and research. There are about thirteen aptitudes depending upon abilities i.e. verbal, mechanical, social, musical….So each and every individual have some form of in built aptitude and if given opportunities to develop that aptitude the individual is successful in that field and vice a verse. It is like doing the thing one like and not doing which one does not like to do. There are dangers of sending the individual /students in field which he/she does not like. One the other hand if we want a very bright future of medical sciences we need to implement and admit right students with right aptitude in medical sciences. Now numbers of valid aptitudes tests for medical admission are available and many countries are already using it successfully. It is educational policy makers to decide. Some academicians have started thinking of assessing the psychomotor and affective domain in preadmission tests. Though these are the future issues but the today our problem is well tackled by adding well planned aptitude tests in pre medical admission test.
