of dispersion standard deviation, coe cient of variation.
Probability and random variables: De nitions of probability, conditional
probability and Bayes theorem; random variables, Poisson, normal and
binomial distributions; sampling theorems.

3. Operations Research (10%)

Linear programming: Problem formulation; simplex method; duality and
sensitivity analysis; transportation and assignment models; network ow
models; simple queuing models.

4. Research Paper study and analysis (50%)

Candidates shortlisted to appear for the written test and interview will get
three research papers well in advance. A candidate should select one from
those for study. (S)he will have to answer questions based on the chosen
paper in the written test. The questions are aimed at testing the candidate's
writing skill, communication skill, critical thinking ability, and overall research
aptitude. The candidate will also be asked questions in the interview from
his/her chosen research paper.
