How to get 90+ Percentile in AMCAT

 Hello Readers, welcome back to my blog, Hope you are doing good. Here I am gonna share you my personal experience and strategy on how to get good score or percentile in AMCAT exam to get more interview calls.

My Experience : 

Since my college was not well reputed and not among top tier colleges, on-campus placement opportunities were very less. The one which visited my college were for technical support jobs and I was not interested in that profile. I used to attend many pool campus and off-campus placement drives but couldn't get through as they were very tough with heavy competition. I got to know about job Consulting companies such as ELitmus , AMCAT & CoCubes from my friends and my seniors in the final year of my graduation. I had given AMCAT test when I was in my final semester of engineering degree. I googled about this exam and gathered information from my friends and seniors for preparation with the hope to get interview calls.

I visited AMCAT official site and had a chat with the team and got all information about the exam and booked the slot. Once we book a slot, we have to visit the AMCAT office which is located in Koramangala, Bangalore not sure about other regions. In my batch around 50 students were there and the test was in online mode of 3 hrs. duration. After completion of the exam post 2-3 hrs. we got our results in our mail id. I managed to score more than 90 percentile in the test and was getting at least 2-3 interview calls from top tier companies.
