The categories for each round are revealed to the contestants at the same time they are revealed on the show. The players have absolutely no advance knowledge of the material, or the categories, before playing each round.

Does jeopardy give the categories to the contestants to study before the show?

No, Jeopardy! does not provide the contestants with information pertaining to the categories they may encounter during their game. Categories are randomly assigned months/weeks before contestants are chosen for a specific episode in order to eliminate any appearance of collusion. That is why sometimes you may see categories that are particularly beneficial to one contestant over another, such as when there is a Law Category and one of the contestants is a lawyer.
