Selection for interviewfor the streams

1. VLSI &Embedded Systems and
2. Communication Systems and Signal Processing will bebased on the score in this paper and the score in the general aptitudetest.

Thisexamination paper is divided into two parts:Part A (Electronics) andPart B (Signal Processing and Communication).The individual score inPART A will have more weightage for selectioninto the stream `VLSI& Embedded Systems'. Similarly, theindividual score in PART Bwill have more weightage for selection intothe stream `CommunicationSystems and Signal Processing'. )

* Fundamentals ofinformation theory: measure ofinformation, mutual information, entropy,capacity, lossless sourcecoding schemes like Huffman code, run-lengthcode etc., deltamodulation.

* SignalProcessing: Fourier series, Fouriertransform, discrete time Fourierseries and fourier transform, discreteFourier transform, FFT,z-transform, Properties of the abovetransforms, LTI systems, stabilityof LTI systems, IIR and FIR filters.

F.PGEE for CCNSB SubjectPaper

ComputationalNatural Sciences andBioinformatics:

Selection forinterview for the streams

1. Bioinformatics and
2. Computational Natural Sciences will be based on thescore in this paper and the score in the general aptitudetest.

Thisexamination paper comprises of three sections:

Physics, Chemistry, Biology& Bioinformat ics,and students, depending on their backgroundare expected to attempt anyone Section as a major and another sectionas a minor part. Thequestions will bemultiple-choice.

Syllabus:

Physics Section:Mechanics andGeneral Properties of Matter, Electricity and Magnetism,Kinetic theoryand Thermodynamics, Modern Physics, Solid State Physics,Devices andElectronics.

Chemistry Section:PhysicalChemistry: Atomic Structure, Theory of Gases, ChemicalThermodynamics,Chemical and Phase Equilibria, Electrochemistry,Chemical Kinetics.

Organic Chemistry:Basic Conceptsin Organic Chemistry and Stereochemistry,Aromaticity andHuckel'srule,Heterocyclic Chemistry, Qualitative OrganicAnalysis.

InorganicChemistry: PeriodicTable, Chemical Bonding and Shapes ofCompounds, Main Group Elements (sand p blocks), Transition Metals (dblock), Analytical Chemistry.

Biology& BioinformaticsSection:

Biology:General Biology, Biochemistry and Physiology, Molecular Biology, CellBiology.

Bioinformatics:Sequence Analysis, Sequence Alignments, Phylogeny, Gene Prediction,Structural Biology.

ComputationalLinguistics:(Computational Linguistics exam will beconducted in late June at IIITHyderabad. This test is required to betaken by students oflinguistics, languages background. They do not haveto take theentrance test on aptitude and programmingetc.)

Morphology - Words and howthey are formed. What is morphology ? Basic building blocks inmorphology - morphemes

Word formation- function based. Other wordformation processes - affixation,suffixation, etc. Morphotactics -constraints on affixation,Morpho-phonology, Computational morphology -FSA, paradigms,etc

Word-Classes and part of speechtagging

Lexicography, Syntax,Syntactic structure, Dependency structure, Grammarformalisms

Semantics, Lexicalsemantics, Sentential semantics

Students should be able to analyse natural language texts in terms ofmorphology and basic grammatical structures.
