CHECKOUT IMPORTANT DATES
The syllabus of AP ICET has been prescribed by the Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE). The syllabus contains chapters on Data Sufficiency, problem-solving, Arithmetical Ability, Algebraical, and geometric ability, Statistical Ability, Vocabulary, Business and Computer Terminology, Functional Grammar, and Reading Comprehension that a candidate needs to cover for the exam. Questions in the exam are designed to measure a candidate’s ability to think systematically, verbal, and mathematical skills, and aptitude. Candidates must refer to high school textbooks to learn the fundamental concepts. AP ICET 2025 is scheduled to be conducted in September. Candidates have to score 50 out of 200 marks to qualify for the exam. Read below for more details on the AP ICET syllabus.
Analytical Ability
Analytical ability comprises questions from Data Sufficiency and Problem Solving. The chapters prescribed by the examination authority from both these sections are given below.
Data Sufficiency: A question is given followed by data in the form of two statements labelled (i) and (ii ). If the data given in (i) alone is sufficient to answer the question then choice (1) is the correct answer. If the data given in (ii) alone is sufficient to answer the question then choice (2) is the correct answer. If both (i) and (ii) put together are sufficient to answer the question but neither statement alone is sufficient, then choice (3) is the correct answer. If both (i) and (ii) put together are not sufficient to answer the question and additional data is needed, then choice (4) is the correct answer.
Problem-Solving: Basically questions are asked from Sequences and Series, Data Analysis, Coding, and Decoding Problems, and Date, Time and arrangement Problems.
Mathematical Ability
Questions are asked from Arithmetical Ability, Algebraical and Geometrical Ability, and Statistical Ability.
Arithmetical Ability: Laws of indices, ratio and proportions, Surd, Numbers and divisibility, LCM and GCD, Rational numbers, Ordering, Percentages, Profit and loss, Partnership, Pipes and cisterns, time, distance and work problems, Areas and Volumes, Mensuration, Modular arithmetic
Algebraical and Geometrical Ability: Statements, Truth tables, Implication converse and inverse, Tautologies-Sets, Relations and Functions, Applications – Equation of a line in different forms, Trigonometry - Trigonometric ratios, Trigonometric ratios of standard angles, (0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°, 180°), Trigonometric identities, Sample problems on heights and distances, Polynomials, Remainder theorem, and consequences, Linear equations and expressions, Progressions, Binomial Theorem, Matrices, Notion of a limit and derivative, Plane geometry, Lines, Triangles, Quadrilaterals, Circles, Coordinate geometry
Statistical Ability: Frequency distributions, Mean, Median, Mode, Standard Deviation, Correlation, simple problems on Probability
Communication Ability
Questions in this section are framed in a manner that assesses a candidate’s ability to identify vocabulary, understand grammar, identify the basic terminologies and concepts in computer and business contexts such as letters, reports, memorandum, agendas, and minutes, understand the written text and drawing inferences, Vocabulary, Business and Computer terminology, Functional Grammar and Reading Comprehension.
