Start the test

The clock starts as soon as you click. Your paper is drawn fresh, so a second sitting is a different set.

Proctored sitting

  • Laptop or desktop only, with a webcam. Phones and tablets can't start a test.
  • The test runs full screen, with the site's navigation hidden.
  • Your webcam stays on and is checked on your computer — nothing is recorded or uploaded.
  • Leaving full screen, switching tab or window or minimising blurs the paper — and so does the camera seeing no one, someone else, a phone, or you looking away. The clock keeps running.
  • Each is a warning; the third ends the sitting. It is graded so you can review it, but marked disqualified and never counted as your best.
  • Pasting, copying, right-click and printing are off.

Before you start

Mphasis hires freshers through AMCAT, and every source agrees on its four modules.

  • Four sections, about thirty minutes each, in a fixed order with no going back.
  • No negative marking, so answer every question.
  • Computer Programming mixes output tracing, pseudocode and data structures.

AMCAT adapts each module to your answers; this paper is a fixed draw, so treat its difficulty as an average. The Automata coding module some drives add, the Versant spoken-English test and the group discussion are not part of this paper.

A word in context: the railway passage

Railways were the first industry to require a single national time. Before them, every town kept its own clock by the sun, and a difference of a few minutes between neighbouring places troubled nobody. A timetable made those minutes intolerable. Within a generation, the railway companies had imposed a standard time across whole countries — not because anyone had argued for it, but because the trains could not run without it.

As used in the passage, 'intolerable' most nearly means:

  1. Unbearable in practice
  2. Physically painful
  3. Illegal
  4. Expensive
Show the answer

A. Unbearable in practice Worked solution

  3. If I am you, I would accept the offer.
  4. If I were you, I will accept the offer.
Show the answer

About this pattern

placementpreparation.io, PrepInsta and FACE Prep agree on AMCAT, the four sections, 120 minutes and no negative marking. They disagree on module sizes: 25/25/25 with 20 (placementpreparation.io) or 25 (PrepInsta) programming questions, against AMCAT's shorter native modules (FACE Prep). The real test is adaptive; this one is not.

Modelled on the published pattern; not affiliated with Mphasis. Every sitting draws a fresh paper from the aptitude bank.
