These examinations ask about the same statistics. Estimation is estimation whether the paper is set by the UPSC, the UGC, the ASRB or a state commission. So this site teaches the subject once — properly, with the steps shown — and each examination gets a way in to it rather than a second copy of it.

  1. Pick your examination from the cards below.
  2. Read its syllabus map — every line of the official syllabus, pointed at the page here that teaches it.
  3. Study from the linked notes, and read the gaps each map names. How this section works

NET exams

The three national eligibility tests a statistics candidate sits. Each has its own way in; the notes behind all three are the same courses.

Other exams

Two recruitment examinations. The ISS map is the one the others lean on: it is the widest syllabus of them all, so a line in any NET paper is usually a line it already carries.

No exam pattern is stated here, and that is deliberate. Marks, duration, negative marking, the number of papers and eligibility all change between notifications, and a stale figure in front of someone planning months of study is worse than no figure at all. Nothing of that kind appears on this site unless it was taken from the official document for that exam, and the page says which document and when.

Always read the current official notification for the exam you are sitting. Use this section for the statistics, not for the rules.

How this section works

  1. The syllabus map is the thing. Each exam page takes that exam's official topic list and points each line at the page here that teaches it — so you read in the exam's order, not the textbook's.
  2. The gaps are named. Every map carries a list of what this site does not cover for that exam. A map that quietly skips its holes is worse than no map, because you only find out in the hall.
  3. The notes are shared, not copied. A map links into the study sections below. Correct a proof once and every exam that points at it is corrected too.
  4. Papers get solved, not listed. Where a previous paper is available it is worked through, the way the 2026 paper already is.

Where the statistics is taught

Every map on this page points into these. They are worth browsing directly if you are not preparing for any one exam in particular.

SectionWhat is in itSize
Statistics Courses One catalogue in learning order, from descriptive statistics to multivariate analysis, with the allied economics and financial accounting courses at the end. Each course has its unit notes and practical. What most exam maps point at. 36 courses
UGC NET Statistics The ten official units, written to be read straight through as exam preparation, with a syllabus map on the same page. 10 units, 500 MCQs
UGC NET Paper I The General Paper every UGC NET candidate sits, unit by unit, with its syllabus map on the same page. 10 units, 200 MCQs
Data Science Courses Relevant where a paper asks for computing, R, or data handling rather than theory. 19 courses
Which Statistical Test to Use Thirteen tests, what each assumes and what to use when the assumptions fail. Useful for the applied questions that ask you to choose rather than to derive. 13 tests

Or start from every topic the site teaches, A–Z.

What is not here yet

All five examinations above have a map behind them, so the honest answer to “what is missing” is no longer an examination but a subject. The ASRB map grades its whole sixth unit — Statistical Genetics — red: Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, gene and genotypic frequencies, heritability, breeding value and selection indices are not taught anywhere on this site. That is the largest single gap any map here reports, and naming it is more use to a candidate than quietly pointing those lines at something adjacent.
