Full papers or unit-wise questions? This page is for complete year-wise papers. If you want the same questions grouped by unit with marks and year, use the unit-wise DS PYQ bank. For study notes, see the Data Structures notes page. Both are linked on this page.
How to use these papers: solve the latest three papers as full 3-hour mock tests first, then go back through the older ones and mark every question you have seen before. Data Structures papers ask you to trace algorithms step by step: tree traversals, AVL and B-tree insertion, sorting passes, graph BFS/DFS and shortest paths, so practise writing each trace in table form.
Below the papers you will also find 19 other Data Structures resources (notes, handwritten notes and important questions) for revision after each paper.
