Hello i m Ram and iam M.Sc.(CS) student can I give the test and if yes then how many times..
Hello Ram,
You can certainly give the amcat exam. There are no limitation to the number of times you can give the exam, however, the repetition should have a valid reason. For example, if you feel you didn’t score well in the first attempt and can do better, then you can give the exam again. However, one needs to wait for a period of 45 days before giving the exam the second time.
Hope this helps. All the best!
