Admissions to M.Tech/MS/Ph.D Programmes (2012-13)
IIIT-H is looking for students who aim to transform industry and society by developing
new applications/systems by doing cutting-edge research. We focus on research in the core
areas of Information Technology and its application in other areas.
IIIT-H is inviting applications for the academic year 2012-13 from the candidates who have
completed (or going to complete by July 2012) B.Tech./B.E./B.Arch. etc., in any branch of
Engineering, BSc in Physics, Chemistry or Biology with good Mathematics background, or
M.Tech./M.E./MCA/M.Sc./M.A. for admission into Postgraduate and Research programs in
the areas of Computer Science, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Computational
Objective Duration : 1 1/2 hours (Compulsory for everyone). This is objective type question paper and will emphasize on basic aptitude, logical reasoning, basic questions on computers and mathematics.
Note: A minimum cut-off score in this paper is compulsory for evaluation of candidate's subject paper (Paper II).
2. Paper II is subject paper. Based on the graduation, candidate has to appear
for relevant subject papers.
a. Mathematics:

Duration : 1 1/2 hours
(Selection for interview for the streams (i) VLSI & Embedded Systems and (ii) 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 weightage for selection into the stream `Communication Systems and Signal Processing'. )

Computational Natural Sciences and Bioinformatics
Selection for interview for the streams (i) Bioinformatics and (ii) Computational Natural Sciences will be based on the score in this paper and the score in the general aptitude test. This examination paper comprises of three sections: Physics, Chemistry, Biology & Bioinformatics, (physics and chemistry only for Post-B.Sc. programmes) and 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.

Biology & Bioinformatics Section
Biology: General Biology, Biochemistry and Physiology, Molecular Biology, Cell Biology.
(Computational Linguistics exam will be conducted in late June at IIIT Hyderabad. This test is required to be taken by students of linguistics, languages 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 analyse natural language texts in terms of morphology and basic grammatical structures.
