So it will not have side weapon bays for WVR missiles ....

Russia to partner in AMCA technologies
By SP's Special Correspondent
March 07, 2015: India has approached Russia to partner it on certain critical technologies for the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA).
Top sources tellSP's that the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) has asked Russia for assistance in developing thrust vectoring and certain other technologies on the concept fifth generation jet platform. There has been steady progress in the programme following the basic design freeze. The ADA has opened discussions with turbofan houses in the US, Russia and Europe for what it believes need to be 110 kN engines in twin configuration for the AMCA. The engines will specifically need to support supercruise. The ADA has indicated to engine manufacturers that modifications could potentially be a joint effort in country, involving the DRDO and other agencies if necessary.
Either way, the ADA has ambitiously aimed at producing up to four prototypes, with the first rolling out in 2019. As the ADA recently set down as the aircraft's profile and definition, "The AMCA is being designed as a stealth, medium weight, twin engine, multimission aircraft with a swing-role capability. Among the advanced technologies that confer stealth capabilities are serpentine air intakes, internal weapons bays, radar absorbing structure (RAS), radar absorbing materials (RAM), frequency selective surface radome and conformal air data probes. The avionics system features integrated modular architecture supporting NCW capabilities, advanced pilot-vehicle interface, pilot associate and integrated vehicle health management. The integrated flight and propulsion control system will combine the traditional flight control functions with thrust vectoring and engine control functions."

May be . AMCA is for medium multi-role aircraft . FGFA / PAK FA are large air Superiority fighters same like Chinese have planned . Of course .

AMCA - J31
FGFA - J20
MKI - MKK / J11
MiG 29 upg - ?????
TEJAS MK1/MK2 - J10B
SU35S - Su35
Super Sukoi - Su35
General comparison
Tejas is a light fighter. J-10B is a medium fighter.
Rafale and MiG-29 - J-10B and F-16
Tejas - JF-17
C
But both are single engine ! In fact MK1 may not be on par with J10B but MK2 will have better configuration .
Jf17 is more or less compared to J7 with more improved avionics .
And please don't compare J10B with Rafales it's really absurd !!!
MiG 29 is a good comparison to f 16 but MiG 29 upg is more advanced than f 16 .
