Welcome learners. This repository is created to help MAKAUT students prepare for the OR (Operation Research) course. Everything here follows the MAKAUT syllabus and is organized as a compact study guide. All the best — start early and practice consistently.
If you’re preparing one day before the exam, MAKAUT typically prioritizes:
- LPP (Graphical Method)
- Queueing Theory — memorize formulas (Little’s theorem, M/M/1: 1/FIFO, M/M/1: N/FIFO) and rewrite them 2–3 times.
Easier topics to pick up quickly:
- Game Theory
- Floyd–Warshall
- Ford–Fulkerson
- Transportation Problems
- Assignment Problems
- Organized Syllabus
- Playlist with Topic-wise Videos
- Common Doubts (with explanations)
- Theory Notes
- Handwritten Notes

- Study topics sequentially.
- Watch a video fully → practice the same problems yourself.
- If stuck, re-watch briefly and compare with solutions.
- After each chapter, check DOUBTS.md.
- Revise solved problems daily before jumping into new concepts.
- Every topic should be revised at least three times.
- Avoid Big-M and Simplex in the exam unless you're confident — they take too long.
- Graphical Method is easier and more predictable.
- Queueing Theory is scoring if you remember formulas and identify model types correctly.
- Try to finish the entire subject in 10–15 days, then revise once more.
- Practice PERT & CPM (A < x, y format) problems carefully — they are straightforward once understood.
