AMCATBLOG

Placement troubles are a common scenario these days. Finding a job, in a reputed company and at a reasonable salary is something we all strive for. There are tonnes of us who are not into premium colleges and do not get the placement as per our expectations. Instead of panicking, time has come to look for alternatives and AMCAT is definitely one of them.

PREREQUISITES; Though not mandatory, a general perception is that 60+% throughout the academics is desired by most of the companies, that means, 60+% in 10th, 12th and in Engineering, MBA, Graduation etc. A student in his pre-final year can take this test as well as scores are valid for 2 years.

REATTEMPTS; Once a candidate decides to re-take the test, it can only be done after a brief period of 3 months.
