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 OS PYQ bank. For study notes, see the Operating System 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. OS papers always include numericals on CPU scheduling, page replacement, banker's algorithm and disk scheduling, so solve each numerical type with Gantt charts and tables.
Below the papers you will also find 14 other Operating System resources (notes, handwritten notes and important questions) for revision after each paper.
