TG ICET Syllabus 2027 is expected to be the same as the ICET syllabus 2026, as no change has been notified. It has three sections and 200 questions: Analytical Ability (75), which tests Data Sufficiency, Series, Data Analysis, Coding and Decoding, and Date, Time and Arrangement; Mathematical Ability (75), which covers school-level arithmetic, algebra, geometry and statistics; and Communication Ability (50), which tests vocabulary, grammar, computer and business terms, and reading comprehension. The TG ICET (Telangana Integrated Common Entrance Test) exam is conducted by Mahatma Gandhi University, Nalgonda on behalf of the Telangana Council of Higher Education (TGCHE), Hyderabad. It is held for admission to MBA and MCA programmes in Telangana, and TG ICET 2027 is expected in May 2027. As the exam was formerly TS ICET, the TS ICET 2026 syllabus and the TS ICET syllabus you may have searched for are the same as the syllabus on this page. Below you will find the official topic list for each section, the topic-wise weightage from all 600 questions of the three 2026 papers, the topics those papers asked beyond the official list, and free syllabus PDFs.
The TG ICET syllabus 2027 has three sections. Analytical Ability (75 questions) tests reasoning, Mathematical Ability (75) tests school mathematics and Communication Ability (50) tests the English used at work. The ICET exam syllabus tests aptitude rather than any degree subject, so the same syllabus applies whatever your graduation stream. The ICET syllabus is tied closely to the exam pattern: the official documents fix the number of questions for each part of the syllabus, as the table below shows. For marking, duration and sessions, see the TG ICET exam pattern 2027 page.
| Section | Sub-section | Questions | Marks |
|---|---|---|---|
| A. Analytical Ability (75) | Data Sufficiency | 20 | 20 |
| Problem Solving | 55 | 55 | |
| B. Mathematical Ability (75) | Arithmetical Ability | 35 | 35 |
| Algebraical and Geometrical Ability | 30 | 30 | |
| Statistical Ability | 10 | 10 | |
| C. Communication Ability (50) | Meanings (sentences with dashes) | 5 | 5 |

| Verb (Tense and Voice) | 5 | 5 | |
| Phrasal Verbs and Idioms | 5 | 5 | |
| Articles and Prepositions | 5 | 5 | |
| Computer Terminology | 5 | 5 | |
| Business Terminology | 5 | 5 | |
| Comprehension (three passages, five questions each) | 15 | 15 | |
| Total | 200 | 200 |
Analytical Ability in the TG ICET syllabus 2027 has 75 questions: 20 on Data Sufficiency and 55 on Problem Solving. Problem Solving is made up of Series (25), Data Analysis (10), Coding and Decoding (10), and Date, Time and Arrangement (10). Every topic in this section tests reasoning, and none needs knowledge of a particular subject.
The TG ICET syllabus 2027, unchanged from 2026 so far, describes each topic as follows.
TG ICET Syllabus 2027: Analytical Ability Topics
| Topic | Questions | What the official syllabus covers |
|---|---|---|
| Data Sufficiency | 20 | A question followed by two statements: decide whether statement I alone, statement II alone, both together or neither is enough to answer it. Questions 1 to 15 are mathematical; questions 16 to 20 may be verbal |
| Series | 25 | Analogies of numbers and letters (a : b :: c : d); odd thing out; missing number in a sequence |
| Data Analysis | 10 | Data given in a table, graph, bar diagram, pie chart, Venn diagram or passage |
| Coding and Decoding | 10 | A code pattern of the English alphabet; coding or decoding a word or a group of letters |
| Date, Time and Arrangement | 10 | Calendars, clocks, blood relations, arrivals, departures and schedules, seating arrangements, symbols and notation |
What the 2026 papers asked (MBAUniverse.com analysis): the first 15 Data Sufficiency questions covered averages, number properties, geometry, trigonometry and statistics, and the last five were everyday problems on ages, costs and distances. Series questions changed style from shift to shift (Shifts 1 and 2 were on 13 May and Shift 3 on 14 May): prime numbers in Shift 1, number-theory ideas such as divisors and co-prime numbers in Shift 2, and letter patterns in Shift 3. Data Analysis always came as three sets of 3, 3 and 4 questions, based on line graphs, tables, pie charts, bar charts and Venn diagrams. The 10 Date, Time and Arrangement questions had the same mix in every shift: one calendar question, two clock questions, one blood relation, two schedule problems, one seating arrangement and three symbol and notation questions.
Mathematical Ability in the TG ICET syllabus 2027 has 75 questions: Arithmetical Ability (35), Algebraical and Geometrical Ability (30) and Statistical Ability (10). The topics run from laws of indices to coordinate geometry and probability. In the 2026 papers, the level was close to Class 10 standard, but many questions needed two or three steps.
TG ICET Syllabus 2027: Mathematical Ability Topics
| Area | Questions | Official topics |
|---|---|---|
| Arithmetical Ability | 35 | Laws of indices; ratio and proportion; surds; numbers and divisibility; LCM and GCD; rational numbers; ordering; percentages; profit and loss; partnership; pipes and cisterns; time and distance; time and work; areas, volumes and mensuration; modular arithmetic |
| Algebraical and Geometrical Ability | 30 | Sets; polynomials and the remainder theorem; linear equations in two variables; algebraic expressions; arithmetic and geometric progressions; trigonometric ratios (0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°, 180°) and identities; heights and distances; plane geometry of lines, triangles, quadrilaterals and circles; coordinate geometry (distance, section formula, slope, and the lines y = mx, y = mx + c and y − y₁ = m(x − x₁)) |
| Statistical Ability | 10 | Mean, median, mode and simple problems on probability |
Communication Ability in the TG ICET syllabus 2027 has 50 questions, all in English: seven parts of five questions each, and three reading passages with five questions each. The section tests the English of everyday work: vocabulary, functional grammar, basic computer and business terms such as letters, reports, memoranda, agenda and minutes, and reading with inference.
TG ICET Syllabus 2027: Communication Ability Parts
| Part | Questions | Skill tested |
|---|---|---|
| Meanings (sentences with dashes) | 5 | Vocabulary |
| Synonyms and Antonyms | 5 | Vocabulary |
| Verb (Tense and Voice) | 5 | Functional grammar |
| Phrasal Verbs and Idioms | 5 | Functional grammar |
| Articles and Prepositions | 5 | Functional grammar |
| Computer Terminology | 5 | Basic computer terms |
| Business Terminology | 5 | Business terms (letters, reports, memoranda, agenda, minutes) |
| Comprehension (three passages, five questions each) | 15 | Reading with inference |
The business and computer terms asked in 2026 are a good guide to the level that the TG ICET syllabus 2027 expects: all of them are standard terms from office work, accounting and basic computing.
Computer and Business Terms Asked in TG ICET 2026
| Shift | Computer terms asked | Business terms asked |
|---|---|---|
| Shift 1 | Firewall, CPU, output device (speaker), communication device (router), DBMS | Acid test, amortization, balance sheet, human capital, KPI |
| Shift 2 | Output device (monitor), URL, cell reference in MS Excel, PDF, firewall | Proxy, minutes of a meeting, quotation, goodwill, circular letter |
| Shift 3 | Bit, SCSI, palette, gigabyte, DPI | Intangible assets, opportunity cost, write-down, creditor, pari passu |

The reading passages were short, about 90 to 220 words each, and most questions could be answered directly from the text. Grammar questions stayed basic: choosing "an" before a vowel sound, the right preposition, the correct tense, and the passive form of a question or command.
TG ICET syllabus weightage was fixed in 2026: every topic had the same number of questions in all three shifts. The heaviest topics were Series (25 questions per shift), Data Sufficiency (20), coordinate geometry (8) and mensuration (7). Together, these four topics carried 60 of the 200 marks in every shift.
The ICET 2026 syllabus fixes the number of questions for each sub-section; the 2026 papers went further and fixed them for each topic. The table gives the TG ICET syllabus weightage for every topic, from MBAUniverse.com's analysis of all 600 questions in the three 2026 papers.
Across the three shifts, the most asked topics in Mathematical Ability were coordinate geometry (24 questions) and mensuration (21), followed by five topics with 12 questions each: numbers and divisibility; percentages, profit and loss; polynomials; trigonometry; and lines, triangles and quadrilaterals.

The 2026 papers stayed close to the TG ICET syllabus, but two topics outside the official list were asked: compound and simple interest, in a Data Sufficiency question, and the roots of a quadratic equation, in a probability question in every shift. Neither is hard, but both are easy to miss if you study only from the list.
Compound and simple interest: Shift 3, Q12 (Data Sufficiency) asked for the rate of interest on a fixed deposit compounded quarterly, using the difference between compound and simple interest. Interest is not named under Arithmetical Ability.
Roots of a quadratic equation: in all three shifts (Q149 in Shifts 1 and 3, Q150 in Shift 2), a probability question asked whether a quadratic equation, with coefficients from a given set, has equal or real roots. The syllabus lists polynomials and linear equations, but not quadratic equations, so revise the discriminant (b² − 4ac).
The official syllabus does not limit Data Sufficiency to particular topics, so treat it as open to any school mathematics. Practise full TG ICET previous year question papers, not topic lists alone.
There is one TG ICET syllabus for MBA and MCA. Both programmes use the same test of 200 questions, so the ICET syllabus for MBA is exactly the syllabus for MCA. What differs is eligibility: MCA needs Mathematics at 10+2 level or in the degree, while MBA accepts any bachelor's degree of at least three years, except Oriental Languages.
The ICET syllabus for MBA aspirants therefore includes the full Mathematical Ability section, which carries 75 of the 200 marks, the same as Analytical Ability. For both programmes, you need 50% marks in the qualifying degree (45% for SC, ST and BC candidates), and final-year students may apply. Read the complete TG ICET 2027 eligibility rules on the main page, and see the colleges that accept TG ICET scores.
No change in the TG ICET syllabus 2027 has been notified. The ICET exam syllabus 2026, issued on 6 February 2026 with the TG ICET 2026 notification, remains the guide until the 2027 notification, which is expected in early February 2027. The exam itself is expected in May 2027.
So if you have been studying from the TS ICET 2026 syllabus, you are studying the right topics, and a TS ICET 2026 syllabus PDF that matches the official list is still the one to use. The medium rule is also expected to continue: Sections A and B in English with Telugu or Urdu, and Section C in English only.
When the TG ICET 2027 notification is released, check the TG ICET syllabus 2027 for any topic added or removed, check whether the number of questions for each sub-section has changed, and whether the medium rules are the same. Application dates and fees will be on the TG ICET registration page.
Cover the TG ICET syllabus in order of marks. Start with the four topics that carry 60 marks (Series, Data Sufficiency, coordinate geometry and mensuration), then the rest of Mathematical Ability, then the remaining reasoning topics, and build a list of computer and business terms for Section C alongside.
The 60-mark core: Series, Data Sufficiency, coordinate geometry and mensuration.
The rest of Section B: the arithmetic topics with four questions each (numbers and divisibility; percentages, profit and loss), then polynomials, trigonometry and plane geometry, and then statistics.
The rest of Section A: Data Analysis, Coding and Decoding, and Date, Time and Arrangement, whose 10-question mix did not change across the 2026 shifts.
Section C throughout: a short daily list of computer and business terms, the grammar rules for articles, prepositions, tense and voice, and one reading passage a day.
For books, a three-month study plan and section-wise tips, read the TG ICET preparation 2027 guide. Then test your coverage with the TG ICET sample papers and the free TG ICET mock tests.
The TG ICET syllabus is closest to that of AP ICET: both test Analytical, Mathematical and Communication Ability in 200 questions. TG ICET has more mathematics questions (75) than any other exam in the table below and, like ATMA, AP ICET, MAH MBA CET and TANCET, it has no general knowledge section.
If you are also preparing for AP ICET, most of your work carries over: AP ICET 2026 had the same split of 20 Data Sufficiency and 55 Problem Solving questions in Analytical Ability, but more Communication questions (70) and fewer Mathematical ones (55). Karnataka PGCET adds Computer Awareness and General Knowledge, while MAT and KMAT Kerala add general knowledge or the business environment, so they need preparation beyond the TG ICET syllabus 2027.
