Hello friends, I am going to compare two most famous company for freshers job employability test. These companies provide freshers job opportunities based on the marks and percentile scored by the individual in the respective test. I have experienced both of the platforms.Hence, I would like to compare with no. of calls I got and the chances of getting selected as if you’re an average student. Okay so let’s compare both of the companies on the following criteria:
1) Cost of the Test and Difficulty Level of the Test:
Elitmus: It costs Rs 920 /- per test and test score valid for 2 years and the difficulty level is higher compare to Amcat. The test pattern is simliar to CAT.
AMCAT: It is not compulsory to take Amcat Test to get the interview call. For example: Congnizant and HCL had many times provided direct link for the registration without asking for AMCAT Ids. Although I took the test and it costs Rs 900/- per test and test score valid for 3 years. The difficulty level of test is average but it has vast no of subjects available unlike CAT pattern of Elitmus.
2) No of Interview Calls and Chance of Getting Selected
Elitmus: Almost 90% of the companies call depends on your percentile scored in individual sections. You will get lot of interview calls if you have good percentile. So you have to score good to get interview calls. Some companies do call with low percentile but it would happen once or twice only. Chances of selecting in the interview totally dependent on the Company you’re going for the interview. But as per my experience it is very low.
AMCAT: Here also the same case , score good marks and get interview calls. But you can still get lot of interview calls without scoring excellent marks. Chances of selecting in the interview totally dependent on the Company you’re going for the interview.
3) Salary Offered and Job Profile:
Elitmus: In Elitmus most of the companies offer good range of salary. But most of them requires candidates from premium institutions and higher percentiles. Most of the companies provide good job profile especially in the field of Software Developer.
AMCAT: As per my experience there has been lot of very low salary offering companies in AMCAT. But They also have companies providing the good job profile with good salary package. But it totally depends on the hiring company to call the candidates , so most of the time they prefer only premium institutes students.
4) Average No of Selections
Elitmus: It is reality that 80% of the candidates give Elitmus test to just get call from Accenture. There has been record breaking selection in Accenture through Elitmus. It was like 1500+ got selected out of 1800.
AMCAT: If you get call for interviews through AMCAT , there has been good chances of getting selected. But it is totally dependent on the job profile and company. Like Accenture in Elitmus, Cognizant and HCL has been mass recruiter in AMCAT.
Since most of the companies in Elitmus provides good salary package and good job profile, the chances of cracking the interview is hard whereas in AMCAT companies with good salary package and job profile are there but there would be lot of low salary package with many kind of job profile companies, so chances of getting selected is good in here. But it’s your call you just want the job or you want a good job. In my experience even company offering less salary too tough to crack. For example, for salary package of 1.8 LPA and job profile as Tester Moolya selected only 4-5 candidates out of 400+ through elitmus and also amcat. This is my experience and yes I may be wrong at many places in this blog but this is just what I went through my unemployment period. So just don’t only think about scoring good percentile but also consistently prepare for interviews. Hence If you are a fresher looking for a good job you must apply for eLitmus as well as for AMCAT.
It's important to be prepared to respond effectively to the interview questions that employers typically ask at job interviews. Since these questions are so common, hiring managers will expect you to be able to answer them smoothly and without hesitation.
You don't need to memorize an answer, but do think about what you're going to say so you're not put on the spot during the job interview. Your responses will be stronger if you prepare in advance and have a sense of what you want to play up during your interview.
1. What is your greatest strength?
This is one of the questions that employers almost always ask. When you are asked about your greatest strengths, it's important to discuss the attributes that will qualify you for the specific job and set you apart from the other candidates.

5. Why Did You Leave (Or Why Are You Leaving) Your Job?
If you're unemployed, state your reason for leaving in a positive context: "I managed to survive two rounds of corporate downsizing, but the third round was a 20 percent reduction in the workforce, which included me."
If you are employed, focus on what you want in your next job: "After two years, I made the decision to look for a company that is team-focused, where I can add my experience."
6. When Were You Most Satisfied in Your Job?
The interviewer wants to know what motivates you. If you can relate an example of a job or project when you were excited, the interviewer will get an idea of your preferences. "I was very satisfied in my last job, because I worked directly with the customers and their problems; that is an important part of the job for me."
7. What Can You Do for Us That Other Candidates Can't?
What makes you unique? This will take an assessment of your experiences, skills and traits. Summarize concisely: "I have a unique combination of strong technical skills, and the ability to build strong customer relationships. This allows me to use my knowledge and break down information to be more user-friendly."
8. What Are Three Positive Things Your Last Boss Would Say About You?
It's time to pull out your old performance appraisals and boss's quotes. This is a great way to brag about yourself through someone else's words: "My boss has told me that I am the best designer he has ever had. He knows he can rely on me, and he likes my sense of humor."
9. What Salary Are You Seeking?
It is to your advantage if the employer tells you the range first. Prepare by knowing the going rate in your area, and your bottom line or walk-away point. One possible answer would be: "I am sure when the time comes, we can agree on a reasonable amount. In what range do you typically pay someone with my background?"
10. If You Were an Animal, Which One Would You Want to Be?
Interviewers use this type of psychological question to see if you can think quickly. If you answer "a bunny," you will make a soft, passive impression. If you answer "a lion," you will be seen as aggressive. What type of personality would it take to get the job done? What impression do you want to make?
