Dravidian University
Working on old question papers helps you understand the exam pattern, question style, difficulty level, and frequently repeated topics. It’s one of the best strategies to prepare smartly.
Visit the Official Dravidian University Website / Directorate of Distance Education (DDE)
Begin at the official site (dravidianuniversity.ac.in). The Directorate of Distance Education (DDE) branch often publishes model / assignment / question papers for distance or correspondence students. For example, you can find M.A. English model papers on their site. dravidianuniversity.ac.in
Also, you can find MBA assignment / question papers via DDE portal. dravidianuniversity.ac.in
Go to “Downloads / Assignments / Question Papers” Section
On the DDE site (or the “Downloads / Assignments” area), look for links labelled “Model Question Paper”, “Assignment Paper”, or “Previous Year Papers”. These often are in PDF format. For instance, Dravidian University has “Question Paper for Assignment” PDFs for M.Com II Year via their DDE downloads section. dravidianuniversity.ac.in
Select Course, Year / Semester, Subject
Because the site may host many courses (MA, MSc, MBA, MCA, etc.), use the filters or directory structure to locate your course and year. Then choose the subject or paper you need.
Click & Download / Save PDF
Click the link for the paper. When the PDF opens in the browser, use “Save As” or the download icon to save it to your local device.
Use Sample Papers / External Aggregators
If the official site doesn’t have older or departmental papers, use external repositories or educational sites. For example, Sample-Papers.com has Dravidian University previous / sample papers in PDF by semester and subject for multiple degree programs. Sample Papers
Start with recent 5–10 years — patterns evolve, so newer papers are more relevant.
Check DDE vs Regular campus — some papers are only for distance education students.
Verify authenticity — check university headers, date, paper codes or watermark.
Organize your download — keep folders by degree → semester → subject, for easy retrieval.
Use the papers as mock exams — solve under timed conditions, compare answers, and analyze weak areas.
Request from departments / seniors — if you can’t find certain papers online, departmental libraries or senior students often have archives.
