Hi everyone ,
In my last post I wrote about how to prepare for eLitmus exam and the exam pattern , Now this post is all about AMCAT (Aspiring Minds Computer Adaptive Test ) which is a online adaptive test . If you are planning to get into software companies or any other MNC's , all you should have is an opportunity to prove yourself but most of the engineering students especially who don't have campus placements like me will suffer the most . So AMCAT gives you an opportunity to get into good companies .
All you have to do is :
1. Have good percentage in your graduation
2. Attempt AMCAT exam and get good score .
After a week of writing the exam you will be getting the result to your email id and also the score will be visible in your amcat account . So thereafter you can apply for jobs and if you are good percentile score in all sections then you will definitely get calls from companies . Cognizant , Accenture , Hcl are the three companies that hire the most . Apart from that companies such as Snapdeal ,Mindtree , Aspiring Minds , Mphasis and many more ... are hiring .
There are 4 Compulsory modules
1 )English

For other Branches there are modules like Electronics and Semiconductors , Telecommunication , Electrical Engineering , Mechanical Engineering and so on .....
NOTE: This modules are optional , If you wont select it during the exam then you will miss it.
Percentile score is for individual sections so you must attempt wisely . Coming on Sectional wise Quantitative ability :
