IITM BS Quiz 2 PYQ
IITM BS Quiz 2 PYQs, aimed at the weeks where the marks actually leak.
Quiz 2 sits on the middle weeks, where the syllabus stops recapping school material and starts being new. Prasnya holds 1,428 released Quiz 2 questions across 7 subjects, each filed to the week it came from — so you can drill the exact stretch that is costing you marks.

What is the best way to practise IITM BS Quiz 2 previous year questions?
Aim at the middle weeks, and aim narrowly. Quiz 2 in an IIT Madras BS Data Science term examines roughly Weeks 5 to 8 of each registered subject — the stretch where the syllabus stops recapitulating school material and starts introducing the ideas the rest of the degree is built on, which is why marks leak there quietly rather than obviously. Prasnya holds 1,428 released Quiz 2 questions across 7 subjects, drawn from 12 slot papers spanning 2022 - 2026, filed into 51 distinct subject-week routes. Practising by week rather than by paper lets you stack every year's questions on one week together, which is how the repeated question shapes become visible; from there you can narrow to a single topic or subtopic and take that alone as a timed test. One thing worth knowing before you plan: the released Quiz 2 papers cover seven subjects, not eight — Programming in Python appears in the Qualifier and Quiz 1 set only. Prasnya is independent and not affiliated with IIT Madras.
The subjects
The 7 subjects Quiz 2's released papers cover
Measured against the published catalog. Note what is not here: Programming in Python appears in the Qualifier / Quiz 1 paper set only, so this list is seven rather than eight.
- Mathematics 1138 questions · 7 weeks
- Mathematics 2179 questions · 7 weeks
- English 1320 questions · 6 weeks
- English 2330 questions · 10 weeks
- Statistics 1155 questions · 9 weeks
- Statistics 2174 questions · 7 weeks
- Computational Thinking132 questions · 5 weeks
Practising Programming in Python? Its 134 published questions sit under the Qualifier / Quiz 1 route, and the syllabus they cover is the same.
The problem
Why Quiz 2 is where the marks quietly go
Quiz 1 rewards being on top of the reading. Weeks 1 to 4 of most subjects are, for a lot of students, a formalisation of things they have already met, so the failure mode is carelessness rather than not knowing.
The middle weeks are different. This is where linear algebra stops being simultaneous equations, where statistics stops being averages, and where Python stops being syntax. The failure mode changes with it: you do not get these questions wrong because you rushed, you get them wrong because one specific idea has not landed. A total out of a total cannot tell you which one.
That is the case for practising this assessment topic by topic rather than paper by paper. Every one of these 1,428 questions carries its subject, week, topic and subtopic, so a wrong answer resolves to a named idea — and that idea is itself a route you can open, drill and then sit as a timed test on its own.
The weeks
Weeks 5 to 8, where Quiz 2 lives
The band Quiz 2 examines, with the published questions filed to each week across every subject. Each row opens the subject holding the most of them.
- Week 5 · English 1368 questions · 8 subjects
- Week 6 · English 1472 questions · 7 subjects
- Week 7 · Mathematics 1172 questions · 6 subjects
- Week 8 · English 1312 questions · 6 subjects
Question counts are field-wide for that week; the link opens the subject with the deepest coverage of it.
The route
From Quiz 2 to a single subtopic in five steps
The narrower the scope, the more specific the report — which is the whole reason to go past the subject level.
Open the paper set
Every released Quiz 2 question, already sorted — not a folder of PDFs to scan.
Pick the subject
Any of the 7 subjects the released Quiz 2 papers cover.
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 at a time with the solution a tap away, or start the same set against a clock and read the report.
The comparison
A folder of papers versus Prasnya
| What you are trying to do | A folder of papers | Prasnya |
|---|---|---|
| Finding every question on one topic | Open each paper and scan it | One route, every year at once |
| Practising a single week | Not possible without manual sorting | Week 1 to Week 12, per subject |
| Taking a paper under time | A phone timer beside a PDF | A real clock, palette and submission |
| Knowing what went wrong | A total out of a total | The topic that lost the marks, named |
| Coming back to a wrong answer | A screenshot in your gallery | The Vault, with full context |
| Reading the mathematics | Whatever the scan looks like | Typeset, selectable, phone-legible |

The questions
Questions students ask
- How many IITM BS Quiz 2 previous year questions are on Prasnya?
- 1,428 released Quiz 2 questions across 7 subjects, drawn from 12 slot papers spanning 2022 - 2026 and filed into 51 distinct subject-week routes.
- Which weeks does IITM BS Quiz 2 cover?
- Typically Weeks 5 to 8 of each registered subject, though the exact cut varies by term and subject. Every question here carries its week number, so you can practise any band directly rather than assuming last term's split.
- Why is Programming in Python missing from the Quiz 2 questions?
- Because the released Quiz 2 papers in the catalog do not carry it — it appears in the Qualifier / Quiz 1 paper set, where it holds 134 questions across 8 weeks. The syllabus is the same, so that route is the one to practise from.
- Can I take IITM BS Quiz 2 previous year questions as a timed mock?
- Yes, at any level. A whole subject, one week, one topic or a single subtopic each start as a timed test, and every submission returns the same analysis report.
- Is Prasnya an official IIT Madras website?
- No. Prasnya is an independent practice platform and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to IIT Madras or any examination body. It takes officially released previous year questions and makes them practisable in a structured way.
- What does it cost, and is there a free trial?
- Every new account gets 1 day of full Pro-level access with no card required. After that, plans are one payment for one month of access — nothing recurring and no card stored. Go covers subject and week wise practice; Plus adds paper, subject, section and week mocks with basic analysis; Pro adds topic and subtopic mocks, unlimited starts, advanced analysis and question-by-question solution review.
- Does it work on a phone?
- Yes. Practice, timed mocks and analysis are all built mobile-first, and the mathematics is typeset with KaTeX rather than served as screenshots, so it stays legible and selectable on a small screen.
Quiz 2 does not punish carelessness. It punishes one idea you skipped.
Start with the free day, take the middle weeks of the subject you are avoiding, and let the report name the idea.
