CoCubes

Overview

CoCubes brings employability assessment and recruitment operations together for colleges and employers. It is strongest for institutes coordinating candidate evaluation and companies hiring through campuses; it is a poor fit for candidates who want to register independently.

Its combination of diagnostic reporting, proctored exams, and hiring workflows gives it wider reach than a standalone test. That breadth comes with a key access constraint: candidates must go through their college.

Key features

Assessments cover aptitude, fundamentals, programming or management, technical subjects, personality or behavior, and written English. Student reports combine an overall score and percentile with job-role suitability, a Job Health Card, personality profiling, and competency results. The range gives institutes multiple angles for assessing employability, rather than reducing a student to one score; its usefulness to an individual still depends on college registration.

Institutes can receive an Excel report with scores, recommendations, and job-role analysis, which can help them review a cohort and connect results to potential roles. Employers get online assessments, shortlisting, interview management, and offer rollout for campus and other hiring. Those steps make CoCubes relevant to organizations seeking assessment and recruitment workflows in one offering, not just a testing tool.

The exam platform supports multiple-choice, subjective, and drawing-based questions, and states capacity for 1 lakh concurrent assessments. Remote proctoring uses live video, facial and impersonation detection, and object detection. Video recordings and data are retained for audit, while suspicious activity is flagged during the exam. Exams work across operating systems, browsers, and devices without requiring an app or specific software installation, reducing setup friction for candidates. The surveillance and recording model may not suit organizations or candidates uncomfortable with monitored exams.

Pricing

The Associate institute program is free for institutes that share final-year student data. It provides basic platform access, one employability assessment, and possible job opportunities. This is a low-commitment way for an eligible institute to offer an assessment, but it gives up full platform access and the broader diagnostic package.

The Partner institute program costs ₹1,299, paid once, billed at INR 1299 per candidate exclusive of service tax. It includes full platform access, including the Manage Module, seven diagnostic assessments, and job and venue opportunities. It suits institutes that need a broader assessment and management package; per-candidate billing and service tax make cohort size relevant to the total cost.

The Standard talent acquisition assessment uses custom pricing: assessments range from a few hundred rupees to a few thousand rupees each, while job-profile design and setup costs about a few lakh. This is aimed at employers commissioning assessments for specific roles, but the setup expense makes it harder to justify for occasional or low-volume hiring. CoCubes is freemium overall, with the institute program free and paid options for expanded use.

Platforms

CoCubes supports web and Android, while its platform information also includes iOS. Exams can be taken from any operating system, browser, or device without installing an app or specific software, a practical advantage for remote candidates using varied devices.

Who it's for

CoCubes is a good match for colleges that want to assess final-year students and review role-fit reporting, and for employers handling campus or other hiring that benefits from assessments, shortlisting, interviews, and offers in one workflow. It is less suitable for students seeking direct access: individual signup has been discontinued, and candidates are directed to ask their college Training and Placement Officer to register the college.

Support is available by email, and assessment operations can be supported on or off campus. CoCubes is part of Aon Assessment Solutions’ brand portfolio.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Broad assessment coverage and detailed student reports provide more insight than a single test result.
• Pros: Institute reporting and corporate hiring workflows connect assessment results with cohort review and recruitment steps.
• Pros: Remote proctoring, several exam question formats, and stated capacity for 1 lakh concurrent assessments support large-scale online exams.
• Pros: The free institute program offers a basic starting point, while exams avoid requiring a dedicated app or software installation.
• Cons: Candidates cannot create accounts independently; participation depends on a college registering through its Training and Placement Officer.
• Cons: The free institute option is limited to one employability assessment and basic access, while the expanded program charges per candidate and excludes service tax.
• Cons: Custom job-profile design and setup can cost about a few lakh, a substantial commitment for employers with limited hiring needs.

Verdict

Choose CoCubes if you are an institute or employer that needs structured employability assessments and wants reporting or hiring workflows alongside them. Its strongest case is the combination of assessment breadth, proctored exam delivery, and recruitment operations. Look elsewhere if candidates need to sign up directly, or if the per-candidate institute cost, custom employer setup, or remote monitoring does not suit your program.
