APICET 2020 Syllabus

APICET syllabus is prescribed by APSCHE and comprises important topics from Analytical Ability, Mathematical Ability and Communication Ability. Since the question paper for both MBA and MCA courses is common, the syllabus is also the same. Candidates preparing for APICET 2020, must prepare syllabus specific topics to score well.

Section-A: Analytical Ability

Section	Topics
Data Sufficiency	Questions based on data is in the form of two statements labelled as (i) and (ii )
Problem Solving	Sequences and Series (Analogies of numbers and alphabet, completion of blank spaces following the pattern in a:b::c:d relationship, missing number in a sequence or a series) Data Analysis (Data will be given in aTable, Graph, Bar diagram, Pie Chart, Venn Diagram or Passage and one need to analyse the questions pertaining to the data) Coding and Decoding Problems (A code pattern of English Alphabet will be given. A given word or a group of letters are to be coded or decoded on the basis of given code or codes) Date, Time & Arrangement Problems (Calendar problems, clock problems, blood relationships, arrivals, departures and schedules, seating arrangements, symbol and notation interpretation.

Section-B: Mathematical Ability

Section	Topics
Arithmetical Ability	Laws of Indices, ratio and proportion, surds, numbers and divisibility, LCM, 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 & 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 & consequences, linear equations & expressions, progressions, binomial theorem, matrices, notion of a limit and derivative, plane geometry – lines, triangles, quadrilaterals, circles, coordinate geometry-distance between points.
Statistical Ability	Frequency distributions, mean, median, mode, standard deviation, correlation, probability

Section-C: Communication Ability

Section	Topics
Part 1	Vocabulary (Identification of vocabulary used in the day to day communication.
Part 2	Business and computer terminology (Identification of basic terminology and concepts in computer and business contexts (letters, reports, memoranda, agenda, minutes etc)
Part 3	Functional grammar (Understand the use of grammar in day-to-day communication as well as in business contexts)
Part 4	Reading comprehension (3 passages)

Through section C, candidates will be assessed on the following aspects:

1. Ability to identify the vocabulary used in day-to-day communication.
2. Understand the use of English grammar in day-to-day communication and business contexts.
