How AMCAT Gets You Hired

When you take AMCAT, your score is stored in the Aspiring Minds database. Participating companies can search this database and directly contact candidates who meet their score criteria โ€” even if you never applied to them. This is called job matching, and it's one of AMCAT's biggest advantages over standard job portals.

To maximize your visibility, score above 500 in your core modules (Quantitative Ability, Logical Reasoning, English) and keep your profile up to date on the Aspiring Minds platform.

Score Thresholds Across Companies

IT service giants (TCS, Wipro, Infosys): generally 400โ€“450 minimum across core modules
Mid-tier IT firms (Mphasis, Hexaware): typically 420โ€“480 depending on module
Consulting firms (Deloitte, EY): 400+ with emphasis on English and logical reasoning
Product companies (Flipkart, Paytm): usually 500+ in quantitative and logical modules
Global tech firms (Amazon, Microsoft): highest bar, often 550+ with technical module score
Startups and SMEs: more flexible, but 350+ is generally the floor for shortlisting
BFSI sector (banks, insurance): strong English and logical reasoning scores prioritized
Core engineering roles: high AMCAT Technical or Computer Programming module score required

AMCAT Companies Questions and Answers

Which companies hire directly through AMCAT scores?

Over 700 companies use AMCAT scores for hiring, including Wipro, Infosys, TCS, Cognizant, Accenture, Mphasis, Hexaware, Capgemini, HCL, and many startups. Companies search the AMCAT database and contact qualifying candidates directly, even without a job application.

Most large IT service firms (TCS, Infosys, Wipro) set a minimum of 400โ€“450 across core modules. Product companies and global tech firms typically require 500+. Your score in Quantitative Ability, Logical Reasoning, and English modules carries the most weight for initial shortlisting.

Does TCS accept AMCAT scores for hiring?

TCS primarily uses its own National Qualifier Test (NQT) for mass hiring. However, AMCAT scores are recognized for certain off-campus hiring drives and lateral entry positions. Check TCS's current hiring portal for active AMCAT-linked openings.

Can I get a job at Amazon through AMCAT?

Amazon occasionally uses AMCAT for screening support, operations, and associate-level roles in India. For software development roles, Amazon typically uses its own hiring process. A high AMCAT score improves your profile visibility on the Aspiring Minds platform for Amazon's partner drives.

How do companies find candidates through AMCAT?

Companies subscribe to the Aspiring Minds talent platform and set criteria like minimum scores, location, and degree. They search the database and directly contact matching candidates via the portal or email. This job-matching feature means you can get hired without ever applying directly.

Is AMCAT valid for government job applications?

AMCAT is primarily used by private sector companies. Government jobs in India use separate exams (UPSC, SSC, banking exams). However, some PSU or government-adjacent organizations may reference AMCAT scores for initial screening in specific technical recruitment programs.
