The AMCAT test, decoded

India’s most widely used fresher employability test.

Quantitative Ability + Logical Ability + English Comprehension, plus a personality module and optional domain modules. About 2 to 2.5 hours. Built by Aspiring Minds (an SHL company).

Scoring

Per-module scores; each company sets its own cutoffs

Adaptive

Yes — no going back

Negative marking

No

How it actually works

01Adaptive within a module: you cannot go back and change an answer, and the next question hardens if you are doing well.
02Each module is separately timed. Running out of time in one does not borrow from another.
03The personality module (AMPI) is not part of the cutoff but is shown to recruiters. Answer honestly and consistently.
04Domain modules (Excel, Finance, etc.) matter for specific roles. Check which one the job asks for.
