Freshers find themselves in a blur state of mind when looking for entry level jobs in their field of interest.

Job seekers and employers are equally baffled during the hiring process. Employers cannot solely judge a candidate based on merit and likewise, students can’t blindly take up jobs wherever available.

So, to make lives easier for both, we have AMCAT – Aspiring Minds Computer Adaptive Test.

AMCAT is an examination that tests a candidate’s skills in various areas like communication, logical reasoning, quantitative aptitude, and it is also used to measure their domain skills. AMCAT is a student’s first step towards corporate world which can get overwhelming and discouraging if not started right.

The same applies to the subject domain module which you choose during the exam, and each has a separate preparation style, depending upon the amcat syllabus designed for it.

 

More about AMCAT

Every day more and more companies are considering AMCAT examination results as a part of their judgment criteria while hiring entry-level engineers. So, you got to stay ahead of the curve by putting your heart and soul into AMCAT preparations.

While the first three sections are compulsory (Communication, QA & Logical Reasoning) and the same for all students, you can make choice for the fourth one based on your area of interest.

Though different companies adopt different ways of marking a candidate’s performance in the exam; they do lay heavy weight on the Optional Module chosen from the list available. This is done to assess your knowledge and interest in the chosen field of study and work.

Engineering students take up AMCAT to become eligible for jobs in the field of electronics engineering, hardware engineering, Sales and Operations Manager/Executive for Electronic Industry Processes, Research Scientist, Technical Content Developer, etc. At the end, it all boils down to following the specific amcat syllabus to excel in the exam.

For freshers seeking jobs in IT; such as network analyst, etc., the Electronics and Semiconductor module, which includes Analog Electronics and Digital Electronics, is ideal.

The amcat syllabus for this module tests the candidate for jobs in firms that deal with Embedded Systems, VLSI design, SOC, Electronic, Design and Automation Companies etc.  The exam lasts for 3 hours but the domain module requires maximum attention and focus.

This module is 25 questions long and is usually allotted 35 minutes of time.  Now that you have a brief idea of how AMCAT can open new doors of opportunities for you, let us help you prepare for the examination too.

  2. Hi Sushma,

    Of course, you can. But only if you are sure about your concepts in CSE and IT and think that you’d be able to score well in them during the exam.

    All the best

  6. Hi Chanit,

    There’s no institution for amcat preparation you need. All you need is to go through the syllabus and prepare from your course books. You can go through sample papers and previous years papers to get a hang of the type of questions that are asked in the amcat exam. You can take the PrepAMCAT to give a mock amcat exam and assess your preparation.

    Hope this helps. All the best!

  8. That totally depends on how confident you feel about your preparation after giving the prepAMCAT. You can take prepAMCAT any number of times, until you are confident about your preparation.

    All the best

  17. I’m from ECE. Is there any chance to choose programming language as my optional.Can you suggest me with this???

  18. Hi Dhanraj,

    You can certainly choose the programming language as your optional module.

    No, there is no negative marking in AMCAT. It is an adaptive based exam which means, at every correct answer you give, the level of difficulty for the next level increases and vice-versa.

    All the best!

  32. Hi Chandu,

    There is no pass or fail in AMCAT. It’s all about the higher you score the better are your chances to get hired. A score of 500-550 is recommended in each module as the minimum target for every candidate.

    All the best

  33. U guys are saying that there is the 500-550 is the minimum score but I have just attended the webinar of Amcat the host of this amcat webinar has told us that 700 is the score for the getting shortlist in the companies? Can you guys give a reply

  34. Hi Chilvery Sowmya,

    The score mentioned in the webinar was how much you should ideally score to get a job in the core companies. 700+ score will ensure that you are on the safer side and almost all opportunities are open for you.

  35. Hi, I am a 2019 pass out in ECE and currently working in the IT field. Now I am looking for a job change from IT to analog. Please let me know how the AMCAT certification helps me to get a job in this field and also which all certifications are available for the same.

  36. Hi Vishmol. Indeed a job change in a different stream altogether requires a bit of extra effort. Definitely yes. An AMCAT Score will help you validate your competence to the recruiters. In this way, you’d have a concrete document to present your skills irrespective of no formal experience previously.
