PhD Entrance Examination2015 – Written Test Syllabus Written test willbe of 2 hour duration. The question paper consists of two parts: PART- I(to be attempted by all except HASS and ICT-ARD applicants)Mathematical Aptitude and Reasoning Elementary multiple choice questions from the following topics: ?Mathematical Logic, Set Theory and Algebra, Combinatorics, Basic Calculus, Probability and Statistics, Reasoning ability.?The level of difficulty would be at 10+2 standard. PART- II This part consists of eight sections: Electronics, Communication and Signal Processing, Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics, Economics and English Studies (EES), and ICT in Agri and Rural Development (ICT-ARD).You may attempt as many questions from as many sections; however, it is likely that you attempt most of the questions from a section that matches your core area of expertise. We expect that you will have enough time to answer at least four questions. EES and ICT-ARD applicants however, should attempt only their respective section. Syllabus and suggested books for each of the sections are given below. Questions will be of a difficulty level similar to a BTech or equivalentlevel course.  Electronics Basic Electronics: Time and frequency domain analysis of simple RLC circuits; Thevenin’s and Norton’stheorems; Maximum Power Transfer; Simple Diode Circuits, Clipping, Clamping, Rectifiers Basic Transistor Circuits: Amplifiers: Single-and Multi-stage, Differential and Operational; Amplifier Building Blocks; Frequency response of amplifiers Field Effect Transistors: JFET and MOSFET Characteristics; Biasing and Bias Stability of Transistor and FET amplifiers Feedback and Operational Amplifiers: Simple Op-amp circuits; Simple filters and Active Filters; Sinusoidal oscillators and Criterion for Oscillation; Single-transistor Op-amp configurations Digital Electronics: Basic Logic Concepts; TTL and CMOS; Combinational Logic; Sequential Logic and Finite State Machine Design; Monostabl
