ICET AP Detailed Syllabus
The syllabus of ICET-AP test for getting admission into MBA and MCA programs are as mentioned below:
Section A - Analytical Ability
Analytical Ability section is focused in two major areas:
- Data Sufficiency
- Problem Solving
Based on this, the questions will be asked from the following patterns:
Analogies of numbers and alphabet, completion of blank spaces following the pattern in a: b: c: d relationship, odd man out; missing number in a sequence or a series.
The data given in a Table, Graph, Bar Diagram, Pie Chart, Ven diagram or a passage is to be analyzed and the questions pertaining to the data are to be answered.
- Coding and Decoding Problems:
A code pattern of English Alphabet is given. A given word or a group of letters are to be coded or decoded based on the given code or codes.
- Date, Time and Arrangement Problems:
Calendar problems, clock problems, blood relationships, arrivals, departures and schedules, seating arrangements, symbol and notation interpretation.
Section B - Mathematical Ability
Mathematical Ability section of ICET-AP comprises of three sections:
Laws of Indices, Ratio and Proportion; Surds; Numbers and Divisibility, LCM, and DCD; Rational Numbers; Ordering; Percentages; Profit and Loss; Partnerships; Pipes and Cisterns, time, distance and work problems; areas and volumes; Mensuration, Modular Arithmetic.
- Algebrical and Geometrical Ability:
Statements, Truth tables, Implication, Converse and Inverse, Tautology, Sets, Relations and Functions; Polynomials; Remainder theorem and consequences; Linear equations and inequations; Modules; Quadratic equations and expression; Progressions, Binomial Theorem, Matrices, Notion of a limit and derivative.
Lines, Triangles, Quadrilaterals, Circles, Coordinate Geometry - Distance between points and Applications. Equation of a line in different forms.

Section C - Communication Ability
The section C of ICET AP comprises of questions that test the ability of the candidates in the language areas of:
- Identifying vocabulary used in the day-to-day communication.
- Understanding the functional use of grammar in day-to-day communication as well as in the business contexts.
