Scheduled the AMCAT Test or planning to give one in the near future? Heard a lot about it, but unsure whether it is for you or not and whether you should give the test or not? We are here to answer your issues related to the AMCAT Test.
Is it only for B.Tech graduates?
The AMCAT Test is more famous among the engineering students, but it is not restricted to them. Anyone looking to improve their chances of landing a good job can give this test. And we are not talking about landing a good job exclusively through the AMCAT Test or through the AMCAT portal, we are talking about your overall chances of landing a good job once you give the test.
You might ask, how?
The AMCAT Test does not just bring recruiters and job seekers under one umbrella it also gives a thorough and complete assessment of your strengths and weaknesses. This gives you a chance to know where you lack and thus improve yourself while paying extra attention to honing your current skills.
What is the exam about?
There are three compulsory tests that of English, Quant and Logical Ability which you need to give when sitting for the AMCAT Test. As you might have already guessed, the English exam tests your English skills and whether you have basic knowledge of the subject or not. Quant is all about quantitative abilities and evaluates the numerical ability of an individual. The questions are very generic and are keeping in mind with the fact that basic quant skills are required in all professions and all walks of life.
Next is a logical abilities test, which assesses how good (or bad) a person is at interpreting things objectively, analyzing given data and performing under tight situations. Usually, this test is the most fun and depends completely on how much you have prepared for it and how good you are at seeing things that are there yet not there.
The fourth one is a domain-specific module. During the test, you will be given the choice to select any two specific modules, based on the subjects you had chosen to study for your graduation or the kind of jobs you are eyeing. Each module addresses particular skill sets and job industry of your choice.
