study material for iiast

i was able to find this for the indian institute of astrophysics entrance test ....
nw please can u suggest me some books that i should follow ....


The syllabus for the IIA entrance exam is the standard BSc. & M.Sc Physics syllabus covering dierent areas

of specialization. In particular, it presumes that the candidates have taken basic courses in Mathematical

Physics, Classical Mechanics, Electromagnetic Theory, Quantum Mechanics, and Statistical Mechanics.

There will be some questions in special subjects such as Condensed Matter Physics, Nuclear Physics etc in

addition to coverage in applied areas such as Electronics, Instrumentation and Optics.

The question paper will be multiple-choice. It will contain questions of two levels of diculty. The rst

level will have 30 \easier" questions carrying 1 mark each. The second level will have 30 \dicult" questions

carrying 3 marks each. Therefore, the test questions will have a total of 60 questions with 30 from each

level, adding to a total maximum marks of 120. It is suggested that the candidate answer as many questions

as possible in 3 hrs keeping in mind that negative marking for wrong answers is one third the value of the

question (1 or 1=3) and concentrate on those questions within the candidate's grasp or specialization.

The current pattern could be subject to change in the future.
