Mphasis's campus test is commonly described as four sections of 25 questions each, logical reasoning, quantitative aptitude, verbal ability and computer programming, in about 120 minutes with no negative marking. Newer accounts add technical questions and one or two easy coding problems, and some drives follow the test with a group discussion before the interviews. This page covers what the Mphasis online test is, its format and timings, how it is scored, the rules to know before you start, how to prepare and a practice plan.
What the Mphasis online test is
Mphasis does not publish its fresher test pattern, so this page combines PrepInsta's pattern, a GeeksforGeeks recruitment overview updated in November 2025 and candidate accounts. PrepInsta's version has no coding round: its programming section is multiple choice on topics such as data types, polymorphism, and searching and sorting. The 2025 overview describes an online assessment, often run on AMCAT, CoCubes or an SVAR-based test, covering quantitative, logical and verbal ability, technical questions on computer science fundamentals, Java and SQL, and one or two easy to medium coding questions, followed by a group discussion or JAM (just a minute) round, one or two technical interviews and an HR interview.
Because Mphasis drives may run on shared platforms, see the AMCAT guide and the CoCubes test guide; for the discussion round, see group discussion rounds.
Format and timings
| Part | What it involves | Time and questions |
|---|---|---|
| Logical reasoning | Series, arrangements, statements and conclusions | 25 questions; about 35 minutes in PrepInsta's pattern |
| Quantitative aptitude | Arithmetic, percentages, time and work | 25 questions; about 35 minutes |
| Verbal ability | Grammar, vocabulary and reading comprehension | 25 questions; about 25 minutes |
| Computer programming | Multiple choice: data types, OOP and polymorphism, searching and sorting | 25 questions; about 25 minutes |
| Technical and coding (newer drives) | Computer science fundamentals, Java and SQL questions, and one or two easy to medium coding problems | Set per drive |
| Group discussion or JAM | A topic discussion or a one-minute talk, judged on communication, teamwork and confidence | Some drives |
Total: about 120 minutes for the four-section pattern, as PrepInsta lists it; newer drives with coding vary.
How it is scored
- No negative marking in PrepInsta's pattern, and the test is not adaptive, so attempt every question.
- PrepInsta reports a fixed section order that starts with logical reasoning.
- Shortlists depend on test scores and the eligibility screen; one campus account from a December 2023 drive said about 200 candidates moved on to interviews.
- Mphasis does not publish cut-offs.
Rules to know before you start
- Eligibility is commonly reported as 60 percent or a 6.5 CGPA across 10th, 12th and graduation with no active backlogs, for BE, BTech, MTech and MCA graduates; check your drive notice.
- Registration usually comes through your placement cell or an assessment platform such as AMCAT or CoCubes.
- Outside help is not allowed, and online tests are proctored.
- Keep your ID and academic documents ready for verification.
How to prepare
- Do timed 25-question sets for each section, at about a minute or a little more per question.
- Revise OOP concepts, data types, and searching and sorting for the programming multiple-choice section.
- Practice one or two easy coding problems a day in case your drive includes coding.
- Practice a one-minute JAM talk and a group discussion opening on a current topic.
- For the technical interview, prepare a SQL query you can write from memory, the four pillars of OOP, depth-first search, binary-tree level-order traversal and linked-list cycle detection, all reported by candidates.
A practice plan
- Week 1: aptitude daily (quantitative, reasoning and verbal) with section timers.
- Week 2: coding problems of easy to medium difficulty in one language, plus pseudocode or technical questions if the test has them.
- Week 3: full mock tests under exam conditions and spoken-English practice if there is a communication round.

On the day, and the mistakes to avoid
- Keep your ID, admit card or invitation and academic documents ready, as the drive requires.
- For centre-based tests, arrive early and follow the centre's rules on phones and belongings.
- For online tests, check your camera, microphone and connection, and use a quiet room.
- Note each section's timer: sections are often fixed in order and you cannot go back.
- Attempt every question where there is no negative marking.
- In coding rounds, submit code that compiles and passes some cases rather than nothing.
Mistakes that cost candidates:
- Neglecting the English or communication section, which is often an elimination round.
- Overspending time in one aptitude section when each has its own timer.
- Practicing only coding and skipping pseudocode and computer fundamentals.
- Registering through unofficial links; use the company's careers site or your placement cell.
- Skipping full mock tests, so the real section timers come as a surprise.
What happens after the Mphasis online test
Shortlisted candidates usually move on to technical and HR interviews, then an offer letter and onboarding. Prepare to explain your projects, basic programming concepts and why you want to join, and keep practicing spoken English for the interviews. For the next stage, see campus placement interviews.
Where CoPilot Interview fits
Online assessments are tests you take on your own: outside help is not allowed, and proctoring settings can flag other apps, tab switches or a second voice. Practice beforehand instead. CoPilot Interview is an AI interview assistant; its free AI mock interview prepares you for the interviews that follow the assessment, with questions built from your résumé and the job description and each spoken answer scored out of ten. The free plan gives 15 minutes a day of live help in sessions of up to 15 minutes, with AI mock interviews included. Read the invitation carefully and follow your employer's rules.
Disclosure: CoPilot Interview is our product, so weigh what we say about it accordingly.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Mphasis online test pattern?
Commonly four sections of 25 questions each: logical reasoning, quantitative aptitude, verbal ability and computer programming, in about 120 minutes. Newer drives add technical questions and one or two coding problems.
Is there negative marking in the Mphasis test?
None, according to PrepInsta's pattern. Attempt every question unless your drive's instructions say otherwise.
Does Mphasis have a coding round?
Older patterns have none, only programming multiple choice. A November 2025 overview describes one or two easy to medium coding questions in the online assessment.
What comes after the Mphasis test?
Often a group discussion or JAM round, then one or two technical interviews and an HR interview, as candidates and guides describe it.
Can I use AI tools during the Mphasis online test?
No, unless the instructions explicitly allow it. Assessments are meant to be taken on your own, and proctoring settings can flag other apps, tab switches or pasted code. Use AI tools to practice beforehand, and follow your employer's rules.
Practice this interview before the real one
The AI mock interview builds questions from your resume and the job description, reads them aloud and scores each spoken answer out of 10. Included on the free plan.
