Analysis of TG ICET 2025 [Held on 8th and 9th June 2025]
TG ICET 2025 was held in online mode on the 8th and 9th of June 2025. TG ICET is the Telangana State Integrated Common Entrance Test for admissions into MBA and MCA courses of all Universities and their affiliated colleges in the state of Telangana.
This year the exam was conducted by Mahatma Gandhi University, Nalgonda on behalf of the Telangana State Council of Higher Education, Hyderabad.
There was no change in the question paper pattern and the marking scheme as compared with TG ICET 2025. The question paper consisted of 200 questions to be answered in 150 minutes. There were three sections: Analytical Ability, consisting of 75 questions; Mathematics, which had 75 questions; and Communication Ability, with 50 questions. There was no negative marking.
To help you understand this year’s test paper better, we provide you with a comprehensive analysis below.
Note: Like in the previous years, the paper presented the pattern of jumbled questions among the sections, i.e., questions of one particular test area were not given in one place.
Section A – Analytical Ability
Reasoning: (Problem-Solving, Coding-Decoding and Date, Time and Arrangement)
This section had twenty questions on Series and Analogies, in each of the three slots. The questions were based on Number Series, Letter Series, Combination of Number and Letter series, Number Analogies, Letter Analogies and Combination of Number and Letter Analogies. Most of the questions were easy, with 6-10 questions of moderate difficulty level and 4-8 difficult questions.
The number of questions from the topic of Odd Man Out were five, across each of the slots. The difficulty level of these questions can be rated as moderate - difficult.
There were ten questions on Coding-Decoding in each of the slots – five set-based questions and five individual questions. The difficulty level of these questions can be rated as easy to moderate.
Questions from the topics Clocks, Calendars, Blood Relations, Symbols and Notations, Arrival & Departures, and Seating Arrangement were also easy to moderate.
Overall, the questions in this section were of an easy to moderate difficulty level. This can be considered the most scoring test area in the ICET exam. Students should try and maximise their scores in Reasoning — a candidate who spent around half of the time as the number of questions, and cracked 49-50 questions in 25 – 30 minutes, can expect an overall top score.
The following table presents the topic-wise split of questions from this section.
| S. No | Topic / Chapter | 8th June Shift 1 | 8th June Shift 2 | 9th June Shift 1 |
| 1 | Number Series | 7 | 8 | 8 |

| Total | 49(39-E, 6-M, 4-D) | 49(35-E, 10-M, 4-D) | 49(31-E, 10-M, 8-D) |
Data Sufficiency
Most of the questions that appeared in Data Sufficiency were from Geometry-Mensuration and Numbers. The remaining questions that appeared were from Simple Equations, Profit and Loss, Simple Interest, Time and Work, Averages, Mixtures and Alligations, Sets, Indices and Surds, etc. Also, there were two to five questions which were based on different concepts of Reasoning.
To score well in this section, one must be thorough with the concepts of almost all topics of Arithmetic. It is recommended that one does not spend more than 10 - 12 minutes answering questions on Data Sufficiency, obviously picking up the easier ones to be answered first.
Overall, the Data Sufficiency part of the exam can be rated as easy-moderate, with half of the questions considered easy.
The following table gives the questions which appeared in Data Sufficiency from various topics.
| S. NO | Topic | 8th June (Slot1) | 8th June (Slot2) | 9th June (Slot1) |
| Simple Equations | 1 | 1 | ||

Data Analysis
This part had three sets, two on Data Interpretation and one on Venn Diagram, in each of the three slots. Two sets of Data Interpretation were present in all three slots, with six questions. The data was represented in the form of Tables and Pie diagrams. In one of the slots, there was a pie-chart and table combination set, which was tougher when compared to the remaining sets.
There were four questions, which were based on Venn Diagrams in each of the three slots.
This part of the exam was easy — there were hardly any calculation-based questions in one of the slots, while in the other two slots, there were a few calculation-based sets. Overall, no tricky questions were present in any of the slots.
Section B – Mathematical Ability
Overall, this section can be classified as easy to moderate, with the majority of the questions falling under the moderately difficult category. Though the maximum number of questions given in this part focused on the basic understanding of concepts, there are a few questions focused on the application of concepts, as well as the calculation skills of the student.
The questions from the arithmetic-based topics, like profit and loss, time and work, and time and distance, were easy. A few questions in this part can be solved directly by substituting the given data into the relevant formulae. This section predominantly had questions from Numbers, Mensuration, Percentages, Profit and Loss, Indices and Surds, Time and Work, and Time and Distance. A few questions on Indices and Surds required simplification skills and avoiding them would have saved time.
Overall, the section on Mathematical Ability was moderate.
The topic-wise split of questions in Arithmetical Ability is given in the following table.
| S NO | Topic | 8th June (Slot 1) | 8th June (Slot 2) | 9th June (Slot 1) |
| 1 | Equations, Ratio, Proportion | 2 | 1 | 2 |
| 2 | Percentages, Profit and Loss, Partnership | 5 | 6 | 6 |
| 3 | Numbers | 9 | 8 | 8 |
| 4 | Geometry and Mensuration | 7 | 7 | 6 |

| 6 | Time and Distance | 2 | 2 | 3 |
| 7 | Indices and Surds | 5 | 6 | 6 |
| 8 | Averages, Mixtures and Alligations | 1 | 1 | |
| Total | 35(12E,23M) | 35(14E,21M) | 35(9E,26M) |
Regarding the Algebraical / Geometrical / Statistical Ability part, the majority of the questions given under the pure maths part were moderately difficult; some questions were difficult, and a few questions fell in the easy category.
The topic-wise split of questions in Algebraical / Geometrical / Statistical Ability is given below.
| S NO | Topic | 8th June (Slot 1) | 8th June (Slot 2) | 9th June (Slot 1) |

| Total | 40(11E,19M,10D) | 40(13E,21M,6D) | 40(17E,14,9D) |
Section C – Communication Ability
TG ICET this year was on the same lines as the previous year, without any element of surprise. All the slots carried fifteen vocabulary-based questions, ten functional grammar questions, and fifteen reading comprehension questions.
The test taker was evaluated in the vocabulary section on one-word substitutes, synonyms, antonyms, phrasal verbs, idioms, and fill-in-the-blank with one blank (vocab-based). Likewise, the functional grammar section comprised articles, prepositions, and tenses as fill-in-the-blanks, along with voice questions. Similarly, the reading comprehension section consisted of three passages, each with five questions, with a word length ranging from 100 to 250 words. The reading comprehension section carried passages on science and technology, narrative, and sociology.
The difficulty level of all three slots, for both days, could be graded as easy-moderate.
The first slot, conducted on June 08, 2025, was the easiest one. A well-prepared aspirant would have attempted 37 questions easily and should be able to score around 35 marks easily. The second slot, conducted on June 8, 2025, was a little tougher than the first slot, but the overall English language section can be rated as an easy-to-moderate one. An aspirant with decent preparation would have attempted 34 questions and should be able to score nothing less than 31 marks.
Despite being the toughest of the three slots in the English language section, the first slot, conducted on June 09, 2025, can be rated as an easy-to-moderate one. A well-prepared enthusiast would have attempted around 32 questions and should be able to score a minimum of 28 marks comfortably.
The following table summarises topic-wise counts in the Communication section.
