Introducing
the Integrated Common Entrance Test (ICET) |
|
| |
ICET
is conducted by the Andhra Pradesh State
Council for Higher Education (APSCHE) for
admission to the MBA and MCA courses offered
by various universities and affiliated
colleges in the state. Each year, one of
the ten universities of AP conducts the
ICET. The 2006 test is being conducted
by Kakatiya University, Warangal.
The universities that accept the ICET
score are:
- Andhra University
- Dr. BR Ambedkar Open University
- JNT University
- Kakatiya University
- Nagarjuna University (Including Center for Distance Education)
- Osmania University
- SK University
- SV University
- Sri Padmavathi Mahila Vishwavidyalayam, Tirupati
- NIT Warangal (For MCA only)
The
admission process
Taking the ICET is the first step to getting
admission into any of the MBA and MCA courses
in Andhra Pradesh. There are over 150
colleges in Andhra Pradesh, with about
9000 seats for MBA.
The first stage is the two-and-a-half
hour ICET. The test has 200 objective-type
questions that test your aptitude in Maths,
English and Reasoning.
The next step of the selection process
is the counseling session. Candidates who
clear the written test are called for a
counseling session. During this session,
the candidate can select the institute
he would like to join.
Candidates taking the ICET have to apply
to the individual colleges also. The
institute that a candidate eventually joins
is decided by his or her rank in the written
test.

The
ICET is a two-and-a-half hour test to assess
your aptitude in Mathematics,
English and Reasoning. Like all B-school
entrances, it is not just a test of knowledge,
but of your decision making and time management
skills and ability to think systematically.
There are 200 objective-type questions and
no negative marking. Each question carries

Section
A: Analytical Ability
1. Data Sufficiency
Each question is followed by data in the
form of two statements. The statements will
be labeled I and II. Given the two
statements, you will have to decide whether:
- Statement I alone is sufficient to answer
the question.
- Statement II alone is sufficient to answer
the question.
- Both I & II are required to answer
the question.
- Both I & II together are not sufficient
to answer the question.

2. Reasoning
a. Sequences and Series
Analogies of numbers and alphabets will be
given. You will be required to fill in the
blanks following the pattern. Or you may
be required to identify the odd item in the
list or a missing number in a sequence or
series.
b.
Data Analysis
Data will be given in a table, followed
by bar graphs, pie charts, Venn diagrams
or a passage. You will be required to
analyze the data and answer the questions
that follow.
c.
Coding and Decoding Problems
An encoded pattern of English letters will
be given. You will be required to encode
or decode a word on the basis of this
pattern.
d.
Date, Time and Arrangement problems
Problems on calendars, clocks, blood relationships,
arrivals, departures and schedules, seating
arrangements, and symbol and notation
interpretation. |
