Got Some Old Theory Papers.

                 Today when I was serching my files I got some old question papers. I am adding these papers so that you can add them in your question bank. As you go on preparing answers to the more and more questions you will notice that the some questions are asked again and again so focus on those topics and prepare them very well.

Note in the 2003 IV paper they asked only 2 long questions. But now they keep the pattern same for all papers i.e. 10 short answer questions each for 10 marks.

       You can get few of the papers at,

                 I will be adding as many papers as I can get. If someone have the recent papers they are welcome to add them.
