Disclaimer: These questions are picked by the TIE review team teachers/mentors by
referring to more than 15 previous years question papersand Internal question papers from
more than 10 colleges. The sole purpose of this is to give a thorough idea about the type of
Questions in the final assessment paper(sem-end exams).We kindly request the students to
practice problems of these types(min 3-4 questions per question type) and other types as
well for the best results.
