The cilia in paramecium beat in coordinated pattern. The base of each cilium is called kinetosome or basal body. All these basal bodies are connected to each other and form infra-ciliary system. This infra-ciliary system is under the control of neuromotor system.

Having seen in diagrams,for sure the cilia around a paramecium is uniform in their length.

Cilia probably beat in waves. This helps to hand over the material to next row of cilia.
