SRM previous year question papers by semester, subject and exam type.
All SEM papers, CT papers, model papers and important questions organised by subject and academic year. These are the single most valuable resource for SRM exam preparation — past papers reveal which topics repeat, how faculty set questions and what to expect in the exam hall.
PYQ categories
SRM exams follow a cycle: two cycle tests, model exams and end-semester exams. Each type has a different pattern and coverage. Use the right paper type for the right preparation stage.
SEM Papers
End-semester papers covering all 5 units. 3 hours, 100 marks. Best for understanding the full exam pattern, marking scheme and unit-wise weight distribution.
CT Papers
Cycle test papers for continuous assessment. Usually 50 marks covering 2-2.5 units. Good for predicting CT question patterns and short-answer formats.
Model Papers
Faculty-issued sample papers and practice sets. Mirror the actual exam pattern. Attempt them under timed conditions for best results.
Question Banks
Compiled lists of important questions per unit. 2-mark definitions, 5-mark short answers and 10-mark long questions with unit-wise organisation.
Important Questions
Crowd-sourced from seniors and faculty hints. Focus on topics that appeared in 3+ of the last 5 papers — these carry the highest probability of repetition.
Solved PYQs
Papers with answers contributed by seniors and toppers. Learn answer structure, diagram conventions and time management from worked examples.
