The syllabus for a previous written test is mentioned here:
https://www.iimcal.ac.in/instruction-syllabus
We do not have an official set of study materials recommended for the test. However, you can look through the sample paper here: https://www.isical.ac.in/~pgdba/Documents/SampleQuestion2020.pdf , to assess the difficulty level of the test. The actual paper would be fairly close to this set of questions. The set of topics and the sample paper together should help you prepare for the test. Further, they would help you assess the level of the test, in comparison to other tests.
3) What kind of questions can I expect in the interview?
The interview mostly revolves around your basic understanding of statistics, probability and a few other relevant mathematical concepts, your work experience and your motivation to join the program. There may also be questions on other aspects of your profile, some latest events and so on. Here are a few interview experiences of the students from 2020-2022 batch that should give you a fair idea of what to expect:

4) Is my profile good enough to make it to the program?
As long as you fulfill the basic eligibility criteria, your final selection comes down to your profile (including your academics and your work experience), your score in the written test and in the interview, and additionally, the pool of candidates applying with you, given the limited number of seats.
5) What are the expected cut-offs for various categories (General, SC/ST, NC-OBC) for the written test?
The institutes do not disclose this information. However, you may know your score in the written test by dropping a mail to the admissions office, post the test.
6) Which of the three institutes awards the degree?
The final degree is awarded jointly by all three institutes: IIM Calcutta, IIT Kharagpur and ISI Kolkata.
I would like to enquire about need based scholarships for this program.
