IIIT-PGEE 2024 Syllabus

The entrance examination consists of two papers:

1. Paper I (General Aptitude) Objective

Duration: 1- 1/2 hours (Compulsory for everyone).

This is an objective-type question paper and will emphasize basic aptitude, logical reasoning, basic questions on computers and mathematics.

Important: A minimum cut-off score in this paper is compulsory for the evaluation of the candidate’s subject paper (Paper-II).

2. Paper-II: Subject Paper.

Based on the graduation, the candidate has to appear for relevant subject papers i.e

A. Mathematics:  Duration: 1- 1/2 hours

Elementary Graph Theory, Set Theory, Probability and Statistics, Combinatorics, Matrices, Complex Variables, Differential Equations, Numerical Methods, Basic number theory.

B. Computer Science: Duration: 1-1/2 hours

The capability to write programs in C or C++ is expected.

C. Electronics and Communications Engineering: Duration: 1-1/2 hours 

Selection for an interview for the streams

• VLSI & Embedded Systems and
• Communication Systems and Signal Processing will be based on the score in this paper and the score in the general aptitude test.

This examination paper is divided into two parts: Part A (Electronics) and Part B (Signal Processing and Communication). The individual score in PART A will have more weightage for selection into the stream VLSI & Embedded Systems. Similarly, the individual score in PART B will have more weight-age for selection into the stream "Communication Systems and Signal Processing"

Part A: Electronics

• Network Theory, Analog Devices (Diodes, BJTs), OPAMPs, and Basic Analog Circuits. Boolean Algebra, Digital Building Blocks (Gates, Flip-Flops) Digital Circuit Design. Signals, Systems, Filters, Transformations, Modulation, VLSI fundamentals.

Part B: Signal Processing and Communications

• Fundamentals of probability and random processes: random variables, discrete and continuous random variables, cumulative distribution function, probability mass function and probability density function, conditional probability, Bay’s theorem, independent and uncorrelated random variables, random processes, discrete-time and continuous-time random processes, auto-correlation and cross-correlation functions, power spectrum.
• Fundamentals of Linear Algebra: vectors, matrices, determinants, basis, Eigenvector and Eigenvalue, canonical forms, characteristic and minimal polynomial.
• Fundamentals of information theory: the measure of information, mutual information, entropy, capacity, lossless source coding schemes like Huffman code, run-length code, etc., delta modulation.
• Signal Processing: Fourier series, Fourier transform, discrete-time Fourier series and Fourier transform, discrete Fourier transform, FFT, z-transform, Properties of the above transforms, LTI systems, stability of LTI systems, IIR and FIR filters.
• Communication networks: Layering hierarchies; circuit versus packet switching; virtual circuits; network mechanisms: multiplexing (TDM, Go back N), flow control, congestion control; ATM, TCP/IP.

D. Structural Engineering: Duration: 1-1/2 hours

Bending moments and shear forces in beams, stress and strain relations, principal stresses, Mohr’s circle, simple bending theory, flexural and shear stresses, torsion, analysis of trusses and frames, analysis of indeterminate structures by force/displacement methods, matrix methods of structural analysis, working and limit state design concepts, design of compression members, beam, slab, footing, staircases, basic concepts of prestressed concrete, riveted and welded joints, steel beam-column connections, plate girders and design of the base plate.

In addition to this, some questions from engineering mathematics like determinants, matrices, limit, continuity and differentiability, mean value theorems, integral calculus, partial derivatives, maxima and minima, ordinary differential equations and applications, initial and boundary value problems, Laplace and Fourier transforms, test for convergence, sequences and series.

E. Agriculture: Duration: 1-1/2 hours

The subject test consists of both objective & descriptive questions in general agriculture/horticulture.

F. PGEE for CCNSB Subject Paper

Computational Natural Sciences and Bioinformatics:

Selection for the interview for the streams

• Bioinformatics and
• Computational Natural Sciences will be based on the score in this paper and the score in the general aptitude test.

This examination paper comprises three sections:

• Physics
• Chemistry
• Biology & 
• Bioinformatics

Students, depending on their background are expected to attempt any one Section as a major and another section as a minor part. The questions will be multiple-choice.

Detailed Syllabus:-

Biology & Bioinformatics Section :

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

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

Computational Linguistics: (Computational Linguistics exam will be conducted in late June at IIIT Hyderabad. This test is required to be taken by students of linguistics, language background. They do not have to take the entrance test on aptitude and programming etc.)

Morphology – Words and how they are formed. What is morphology? Basic building blocks in morphology – morphemes

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

Word-Classes and part of speech tagging

Lexicography, Syntax, Syntactic structure, Dependency structure, Grammar formalisms

Semantics, Lexical semantics, Sentential semantics

Students should be able to analyze natural language texts in terms of morphology and basic grammatical structures.

IIIT PGEE Exam 2024 Dates

IIIT PGEE exam is normally held in April.

How to apply for IIIT-PGEE 2024?

Applications should be submitted online in the IIIT PGEE portal. To submit the application, a candidate has to complete two registration forms i.e.

1. Pre-Registration Form

After filling the IIIT PGEE Pre-Registration form, the candidate receives an E-Mail that contains the link and identification code. The link should be opened in a browser by supplying the identification code to fill in the Main Registration Form.

2. Main Registration Form

The main IIIT PGEE registration form can only be filled by opening the link received through the E-Mail, after filling in the proceeding pre-registration form.

Admission to IIIT PG programs will be on the basis of the performance at the Post-Graduate and Ph.D. Entrance Examination followed by an interview to be held at Hyderabad.

Note: For MS and Ph.D. programs, exceptional candidates may be called directly for the interview on the basis of their qualifications and experience. For details of application regarding the admission process post, entrance test candidates can visit http://iiit.ac.in/academics/admissions/pgadmissions/st_admissions.php 

IIIT PGEE 2024 Fee

Applicants can apply for one or more programs in the same form by submitting an application fee is Rs. 2000/- for one program and Rs. 50/- extra for each additional program applied for.

IIIT Hyderabad PGEE Application fee can be paid either by Credit Card or through Demand Draft. in favor of IIIT, Hyderabad for the appropriate amount should be drawn. A candidate must write an application number (received in the confirmation mail) along with the name on the reverse side of the demand draft and send the same to the following addresses.
