IITM BS PYQ

IITM BS PYQs — every previous year question, filed to the week and topic it came from.

Every IITM BS PYQ on Prasnya carries its full address — exam, subject, week, topic, subtopic. That is why you can practise one week across every year at once, and why a mock report can point at a topic instead of handing back a score.

What is the best way to solve IITM BS PYQs?

Solve them by week, not by paper. A released paper deliberately mixes twelve weeks of a subject into one sitting, so working through it front to back asks you to recall material you studied months apart and leaves you with a score you cannot act on. The faster order is to take the week you are being taught right now, solve everything that week has ever been asked across all 24 released papers, and only then sit a whole paper against a clock to test your timing. Prasnya is built for that order: each of its 3,000+ IITM BS previous year questions carries the week and topic it came from, so a week is a route you open rather than a search you run, any slice of it can be started as a timed mock, and the report afterwards names the topic that cost you marks. Then revise from the questions you got wrong, not from the papers again. Prasnya is independent and not affiliated with IIT Madras.

The assessments

Qualifier, Quiz 1, Quiz 2 and End Term — each with its own route

The papers are the same ones everybody has. What changes is that here they are already sorted into the weeks and topics each assessment actually examines, so a revision session can be aimed rather than general.

What you get

What you get inside

Six things, and each one exists because a folder of question papers cannot do it.

01
Every question carries its address
Exam, subject, week, topic, subtopic. That single property is the whole product: it is why one topic can be practised across every year at once, and why an attempt report can name the topic that lost the marks. 304 topics and 660 subtopics are addressable on their own.
02
Any slice can become a timed mock
A full paper, one subject, one week, one topic, one subtopic — each is startable as a real mock with a clock, a question palette and a submission you can review later. You are not limited to sitting whole papers.
03
Analysis that names the repair
Score, accuracy, marks lost, time per question, subject movement, difficulty, and attempt quality — perfect, wasted, overtime, confused. Pro adds a question-by-question solution review of the exact attempt you sat.
04
Filters built for revision, not browsing
Filter by question type — MCQ, MSQ and numerical answer — by difficulty, and by year, so a revision session can be exactly "hard numerical questions from Statistics 2, Weeks 5 to 8".
05
A vault of what you got wrong
Bookmark a question from anywhere and it waits in the Vault with its full context. The point of a wrong answer is the second attempt, and the second attempt has to be findable.
06
Solutions and mathematics that render properly
Every statement and solution is typeset with KaTeX rather than pasted as a screenshot, so it is readable, selectable and searchable on a phone at any size.

The route

Five taps from the degree to the exact subtopic

The route is the same every time, which is the point — you never have to remember where anything lives.

Pick the exam
Qualifier, Quiz 1 or Quiz 2 — or skip the exam entirely and revise straight from the syllabus.
Pick the subject
All 8 foundation subjects, from Mathematics 1 through Programming in Python.
Narrow to the week
Weeks 1 to 12, exactly as the course runs them, so practice lines up with the lecture you just watched.
Narrow to the topic
Then the subtopic, if the leak is that specific. 660 of them are individually addressable.
Solve, or sit it as a mock
Practise one question at a time with the solution a click away, or start the same set as a timed test and get the report.

The syllabus

All 8 foundation subjects, week by week

Every subject runs Weeks 1 to 12 exactly as the course does — 304 topics and 660 subtopics, each one its own route.

The questions

Questions students ask

What does IITM BS PYQ mean?: PYQ stands for previous year questions — the questions asked in earlier IIT Madras BS Data Science assessments. On Prasnya they are not left as loose papers: each question is filed to the exam, subject, week, topic and subtopic it came from, so it can be practised in context.
Can I practise IITM BS PYQs week by week?: Yes. Every question carries its week number, so Weeks 1 to 12 are separate routes inside each subject — and each week can also be started as its own timed test.
Is Prasnya an official IIT Madras website?: No. Prasnya is an independent practice platform and is not affiliated with IIT Madras or any examination body. It exists to make officially released previous year questions practisable in a structured way.
Which IITM BS assessments are covered?: Qualifier, Quiz 1 and Quiz 2 papers are published — 24 papers spanning 2022 - 2026. End Term is listed in the app as upcoming while those papers are transcribed; because the End Term is cumulative, the published bank already covers the syllabus it examines.
Which subjects are included?: All 8 foundation subjects: Mathematics 1, Mathematics 2, English 1, English 2, Statistics 1, Statistics 2, Computational Thinking, Programming in Python.
Can I take previous year papers as a timed mock test?: Yes. A full paper, a single subject, a single week, a single topic or a single subtopic can each be started as a timed mock. Plus includes one start of each mock kind; Pro removes the caps and adds advanced analysis.
What does it cost, and is there a free trial?: Plans are Rs 67, Rs 129 and Rs 149 — one payment for one month of access. Every new account gets 1 day of full Pro-level access first, with no card required.
Does it work on a phone?: Yes. The practice surface, the timed mocks and the analysis are all built mobile-first, with the mathematics typeset rather than served as images, so it stays legible on a small screen.

The papers are public. The organisation is the advantage.

Start with the free day, solve a week of whichever subject is hurting, and see whether the report tells you something a total never could.
