Kerala PSC Assistant Motor Vehicle Inspector AMVI Exam Date 2022

Assistant Motor Vehicle Inspector exam is one of the Kerala PSC technical exams which can be attended by candidates who have a diploma/B Tech in Mechanical and Automobile areas. The debate on AMVI exam qualification and experience has been going on for the last few years. Due to this dispute, the AMVI exam notification has not yet released after 2014. Hence, we can expect the PSC notification 2022 for this particular exam. The candidates applying for Kerala AMVI exam 2022 should have the Workshop Experience of at least ten months. The AMVI vacancies (expected vacancies) are 400 plus. There was another dispute demanding B. Tech as the minimum qualification. However, this need was not accepted as per the protest from the youth unions. Heavy License is a mandatory qualification which you need to take before applying for the Assistant Motor Vehicle Inspector examination 2022. The competition level is high, so it’s better to start your preparation from today itself. If you are not aware of the syllabus, we have included the detailed syllabus in this article. Go through it and join an online PSC coaching institute immediately.

AMVI Online Coaching

The AMVI syllabus 2022 is separate for Mechanical Engineering and Automobile Engineering. The detailed explanation of the expected syllabus is given in CC Technical exams by our expert mentors. The method of studying for a competitive exam is really important and for that you don’t need to hard work instead you should follow a smart work plan to crack the Assistant Motor Vehicle Inspector Exam. Many of the Techies might be looking for the AMVI Coaching Centers in Kerala. Team Competitive Cracker already understood this issue at an early stage and we have started our new channel CC Technical exams just for the candidates from technical fields. The major motto of this channel is to bring an awareness to the public regarding the Kerala PSC technical exams vacancies and Kerala PSC notifications.
