Caveats
This analysis is only for identifying trends in ICAP exams; No decision (of selective study) should be taken only upon this analysis.
The categorization of degree of importance is just based on marks allocation, no other logical reasoning exists
All topics are of equivalent importance as ICAP may ask any topic any time in any detail deemed fit by ICAP
This analysis has been compiled with due care but still it is error prone due to human mistake.
If you find any mistake plz mail me by mentioning cell reference at my gmail address i.e. aforatif@gmail.com
