is an objective type test and the questions are of multiple choice. Out of the
given options, the candidate has to choose the correct answer. If the Candidate
gives more than one answer to any question, such answers will be ignored while
awarding marks.

The test consists of 200 questions of one mark each in the following topics.

Section - A: Analytical Ability

(i) Data Sufficiency: 20 Questions

(ii) Problem Solving: 55 Questions

Section - B: Mathematical Ability

(i) Arithmetical Ability: 35 Questions

(ii) Algebraical and Geometrical Ability: 30 Questions

(iii) Statistical Ability: 10 Questions

ICET Test Pattern

Section - A: Analytical Ability (75 Questions)

(1) Data Sufficiency (20 Questions):

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.

(2) Problem Solving (55 Questions):

(a) Sequences and Series (25 questions): Analogies of numbers and


alphabets, completion of blank spaces following the pattern in a:b::c:d
relationship; odd thing out: missing number in a sequence or a series.

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.
