AP ICET syllabus 2026 covers three sections: Analytical Ability, Mathematical Ability, and Communication Ability. Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) has prescribed section-wise AP ICET detailed syllabus. Check details in the following sections. 

AP ICET Syllabus 2026 for Analytical Ability
AP ICET Syllabus 2026 for Analytical Ability includes Data Sufficiency and Problem Solving questions. Check details below.  

Data Sufficiency: A question is given followed by data in the form of two statements labeled as (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

• Sequences and Series: Analogies of numbers and alphabet, completion of blank spaces following the pattern in a:b::c:d relationship; odd thing out: missing number in a sequence or a series.
• Data Analysis: The data given in a Table, Graph, Bar diagram, Pie Chart, Venn 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 & Arrangement Problems: Calendar problems, clock problems, blood rela- tionships, arrivals, departures and schedules, seating arrangements, symbol and notation interpretation.

AP ICET Syllabus 2026 for Communication Ability
Objectives of this section is to test Candidate’s ability to:

1. Identify vocabulary used in the day-to-day communication (Vocabulary).
2. Understand the functional use of grammar in day-to-day communication as well as in the business contexts (Functional Grammar).
3. Identify the basic terminology and concepts in computer and business contexts (letters, reports, memoranda, agenda, minutes etc. (Business and Computer terminology).
4. Understand written text and drawing inferences (Reading Comprehension (4 Passages)).
