Ae iitm

I have applied for Prospective Research Scholars (MS/PHD) in Department of Aerospace Engineering (AE) of IITM. I also have selected for interview, so I need to get syllabus for preparation for interview. So pls give detailed syllabus of Interview for Prospective Research Scholars (MS/PHD)?
