Hi All,
Amdocs visited our campus on 14th May . First of all there was an online test conducted by MeritTrac company on 12th May and then results were declared on 14th.
The details of Online test -
Sections -
1) Analytical - Quantitative - 20 questions
Learning Ability Logical) - 15 questions
Technical Passage - 10 questions

2) Technical - C/C++/Java - 20 questions
SQL - 15 questions
Unix - 15 questions

4) No negative marking

5) 60% Cutoff in both sections.

Guys analytical section was very easy and requires a day preparation only. Go through RS Agrawal for Quantitative and Logical. Technical Passage was very easy where a passage related 2 computer terminology was given. Most of the questions can be solved directly For rest go through the passage fast. Dont waste time in this.

But technical section was tough. 

Choose any language from C/C++/Java and this section will really test your programming skills and concepts. If you are choosing C then go through pointers very well. OOPS concepts must b very clear if you are choosing Java or C++. Then comes the SQL section. Some of the questions were so difficult that even I havn't heard some of them. Practice your queries like subqueries, joins, concepts like views, indexes, database terminologies must be clear.Keep some extra time for this section as there were some questions where some queries were given and you have to find error or select best query. At last there was Unix. Go through some of the basic commands like cat, tee, chmod, grep etc along with their attributes. This section was easy if you are comfortable with allthe basic commands. Go through VI editor and its commands, 3-4 questions from it must b there.
Books -
For sql - Ivan Bayross
For unix - Sumitabha Das 

After 2 days i.e on 14th results were declared and out of around 150 students only 12 cleared the apti. So a lot of focus is given 2 apti, so practice hard. Then TI and HR interview was there.

Check the company profile and they can also ask questions based on that.
Guys if you clear the apti then be cool because 70% of the battle has been won. The TI of mine was very cool. It went for around 1 hr and he basically asked some of the basics of sql like foreign key, basic query, normalization etc and basic commands of unix. Whatever language you have selected in apti, he will ask questions based on that. So choose carefully. Guys be prepared with ur project what you have done bcoz they focus a lot on ur project. After that my HR interview was a basic one like Tell me about yourself, hobbies, career objective, relocation, working in night shifts, achievements etc. 

Don't take HR lightly. Finally only 4 were selected and I was one of them. Guys 1 thing i want to tell u that AMDOCS is really a very good company with a lot of opportunities. They offered us a package of 3.5 pa there is a yearly performance bonus of around 1 lakh. So guys prepare yourself very well and see u in AMDOCS. Feel free 2 get back 2 me for any queries.

All the Best
