theory of automata and formal languages study guide
Papers on this page: 2024-25, 2023-24, 2022-23, 2021-22, 2018-19 and 2017-18.
Across these papers AcademicArk has mapped 138 questions to units and topics. Unit 2 (Regular Expressions and Languages) is the heaviest, averaging about 31 marks per paper, followed by Unit 1 at about 28 marks. Topics asked again and again: Context Free Grammar (17 times), Non Deterministic Finite Automaton (10 times) and Deterministic Finite Automaton (8 times).
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 TAFL PYQ bank. For study notes, see the Theory of Automata and Formal Languages 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. TAFL papers ask you to construct DFA/NFA, convert NFA to DFA, minimise automata, write grammars and design PDA and Turing machines, so practise each construction with full transition tables.
Below the papers you will also find 8 other Theory of Automata and Formal Languages resources (notes, handwritten notes and important questions) for revision after each paper.
