Why you need to give the AMCAT exam, today!

The AMCAT exam has changed the face of the job market and has seen new heights every day since its inception. Started off as a module to bring students and recruiters under one-roof. AMCAT today plays host to thousands of companies.

What is the AMCAT exam

AMCAT or Aspiring Minds Computer Adaptive Test evaluates candidates on the basis of their core skills which includes reasoning skills, quantitative aptitude, English and technical skills. The technical module is different for each candidate and depends on the course or the subject they opt for.

AMCAT is an adaptive test. That means, it adapts itself according to your answers. Wrong answers will mean easier questions but lesser marks. While right answers will mean slightly tougher questions but you will have the chance to score more.

Who is eligible for the AMCAT exam

Any candidate with a graduate or a postgraduate degree is eligible for the test. Students who are still in the final year of their college are eligible for the AMCAT exam too and can make full use of it to bag the best of jobs.

What is the syllabus for it

The AMCAT Test is divided into four different modules. Of these three modules are same for each candidate, namely English, Logical Reasoning and Quant. The fourth module depends on the discretion of the candidate. For engineering students it will be different, for those with a degree in arts or those who are pursuing arts, it will be different.

Is the AMCAT exam only for engineers

No, the AMCAT exam is for everyone. The fourth module of the test is tailored such that it can adapt to everyone’s taste. Graduates and students from different backgrounds can give the test and make full use of the job opportunities available on the AMCAT jobs portal.

Which companies hire through the AMCAT

The AMCAT exam is recognised by over 700 companies. Some of the big names associated with AMCAT are, BYJU’s, Reliance Jio, Deloitte, Uber, Aricent, Quikr, and so on. If you want to know more about the companies that recognise the AMCAT exam and hire through the AMCAT then you can read Companies That Hire Through The AMCAT.

The newly launched AMCAT certificates and why you need them

Say you want to be a Backend Developer. You have the skills for it but are afraid that you won’t be able to stand out and above your competitors with similar skills. How do you cope with that or trump that? You bring a certificate that will be recognised by the companies and tell the hiring managers and recruiters that they should be investing in you.

The 22 new AMCAT certifications do just that for you and give you an edge. So, AMCAT certification, combined with a great resume and an impressive body language and interview skills can help you bag any job you desire.

  2. Hi Harshita,

    You are eligible for the amcat exam in this situation as well. However, you certainly will have to get all your backlogs cleared before getting appointed by any company, as you would officially be graduated only after that.

  3. Hi Ashish,

    Of course you are eligible; if you have completed your diploma. You can apply for the exam here

    All the best!

  4. I am a msc passout Student in biotechnology stream.. Passed on the year of 2009/- now I am working at Icici Bank.. Can I apply for dis exam

  5. Hello Parisamapti,

    We are glad that you have shown interest in giving the amcat exam. However, would like to inform you that this exam mainly caters to fresh graduates or those with a few months of work ex and looking for a better job opportunity. But, as they say, there’s no fixed time to start fresh. So, if you are willing to start your career all over again, then sure, you can appear for this exam.

    All the best!

  6. Hi Rachitha,

    Of course, you are eligible. However, you should consider this as your trial run, since companies only recruit candidates who have completed their degrees. Giving amcat in pre-final year is highly recommended as it provides that experience and exposure to students which helps them be well prepared for the next attempt in the final year, which would decide their career path.

    Alternatively, you can always use your amcat score for next year by simply extending your subscription. So, if you score great in your amcat this time, you won’t have to give it in your final year, and can use the same score to apply for jobs.

    Hope this helps.

    All the best!

  15. Hi Suresh,

    If your programming concepts are good, and you are confident that you’d be able to score high in programming module, then go for it. If finding a job in IT is your dream, then it’s necessary to appear for electrical paper; just because you did your engineering in it.

    All the best!

  18. Hi Ramandeep,

    Most students, after completing their BA degree, either go for masters programme or prepare for govt. jobs. Not that you are not eligible to apply for the test, but it is more helpful for B.Tech, B.Com, and MBA students.

    All the best!

  19. I m in the 3rd yr of CHEMICAL ENGINEERING, so would it be helpful if I apply for AMCAT now or I also appmy in 4th year ?

  20. Hi Jayesh,

    We do encourage students in their pre-final year of graduation to take the amcat exam. It not only benefits them by providing the exposure to the exam, but also make them aware of what they should expect from the exam. Also, it works as a great feedback report for the candidates in the 3rd years, to know where they lacked, and then they can prepare better when they re-appear for the exam in final year.

    All the best!
