        <div class="section-text">
            To target an AIR under 100, focus on these technical pillars that dominate the 2026 paper:
        </div>
        
        <div class="list-item"><b>1. Probability:</b> Random variables, Expectation, Chebyshev’s inequality, Law of Large Numbers (LLN), and Central Limit Theorem (CLT).</div>
        

        <div class="list-item"><b>2. Standard Distributions:</b> Binomial, Poisson, Normal, Chi-square, t, and F distributions. Properties like memoryless and reproductive properties.</div>
        

        <div class="list-item"><b>3. Statistical Inference:</b> Estimation (MLE, Method of Moments), Sufficiency, Consistency, and Testing of Hypotheses (Neyman-Pearson Lemma).</div>
        <div class="list-item"><b>4. Regression Analysis:</b> Simple and Multiple Linear Regression, Least Squares estimation, and R-square values.</div>
        

        <div class="list-item"><b>5. Multivariate Analysis:</b> Wishart distribution, Hotelling’s T-square, and Principal Component Analysis (PCA).</div>

        <div class="section-title">Stochastic Processes & Design of Experiments</div>
        <div class="section-text">
            These sections are often the "rank-deciders." Proficiency here can push you from qualifying to a top IIT seat.
        </div>
        <div class="list-item"><b>• Stochastic Processes:</b> Markov Chains, Transition Probability Matrix, and Classification of states.</div>
        
        <div class="list-item"><b>• Design of Experiments:</b> ANOVA (One-way and Two-way), CRD, RBD, and LSD.</div>

        <div class="section-title">Success Roadmap for ST 2026</div>
        <div class="list-item">1. <b>Prioritize Matrix Theory & Calculus:</b> These are the foundations of Statistics. Nearly 20 marks rely on your ability to solve integrals and matrix eigenvalues.</div>
        <div class="list-item">2. <b>NAT Precision:</b> Statistics is highly numerical. Practice using the virtual calculator for probability density calculations and regression coefficients to avoid decimal point errors.</div>
        <div class="list-item">3. <b>MSQ Strategy:</b> MSQs often test the properties of estimators (UE, BLUE, Consistency). Ensure your counter-examples are ready for theoretical questions.</div>
        <div class="list-item">4. <b>PYQ Drills (2019-2025):</b> Since the ST paper was recently introduced (2019), solve every single previous year paper and look for patterns in IIT Guwahati’s approach to Inference questions.</div>
