Test Modules: Multi-dimensional Assessment
The AMCAT test structure, tests students in different fields so as to
understand the skills of every student, with the help of an in-depth
micro analysis in each section,. There are three compulsory modules,
English Comprehension, Quantitative Ability and Reasoning and Logical
Ability, which every student needs to answer; and three optional
modules, Computer Programming Principles & Application, Electronics &
Semiconductor and Basics of Computer Maintenance & Usage, out of
which, the students can choose 1 or more modules. Depending on the
number of modules, the time of the test varies.

Different companies use different combinations of scores to screen
candidates for interview. Thus even if you do not perform well in all
modules, you have a fair chance of an interview call.
