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 PPS PYQ bank. For study notes, see the Programming for Problem Solving 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. PPS papers ask for C programs on loops, arrays, strings, functions, pointers and structures, so write and dry-run each program by hand, including the output.
Below the papers you will also find 8 other Programming for Problem Solving resources (notes, handwritten notes and important questions) for revision after each paper.
