So in short: GJU is a well-established state university in Haryana with both regular and distance education modes. Knowing its structure helps when looking for old question papers because you’ll need to check whether your course is “regular” or “distance” mode.
2. Why download Previous (Old) Question Papers?
Old question papers are a valuable resource for students because:
They help you become familiar with the exam pattern (number of questions, marks, time allowed). For example, a site says: “With these papers you can gain an insight into the kinds of questions that will be asked … and get familiar with the structure that may be followed by the examiner.” JobSandhan
They enable practice under exam-conditions, which helps with time-management, question-selection strategy etc.
They reveal recurring topics or themes in your subject that appear frequently across years.
For distance education students: many papers are specific to DDE mode so you can pick according to your student-type.
So having a good collection of past papers is a smart preparation strategy.
3. Step-by-Step Process to Download Previous Year Question Papers from GJU
Here is a detailed process you can follow. Some parts might differ slightly depending on whether you’re in regular/semester or distance/annual system — but broadly the steps are:
Step 1: Visit the Official University Website
Go to the official GJU website: https://www.gjust.ac.in/GJUST For distance education, the DDE section has its site: https://www.ddegjust.ac.in/ which hosts old-paper material. DDEG Just+1
Step 2: Navigate to the Question-Paper/Old-Papers Section
On the main site, check under menus like “Academics”, “Examinations”, “Students’ Corner”, “Resources” or similar.
For the DDE site, there is a specific section named “Previous Year Papers”. Example: “Select Course for Previous Year Papers”, “Select Year for Previous Year Papers”. DDEG Just
Also check a section titled “Sample Question Papers” on the DDE site. DDEG Just
Step 3: Select Your Course, Year / Semester, Mode (Regular or Distance)
Once you enter the old-papers section, you will often be asked to choose the course (for example B.A., B.Sc., B.Com, M.Sc, MCA etc).
Then select your year (1st year, 2nd year etc) or semester if your course is semester-system.
Also make sure to pick whether your mode is Regular or Distance (DDE) as the paper sets may differ. For example, the sample-paper list mentions “Regular & Distance”. DDEG Just
Step 4: Find and Click the Specific Subject/Paper You Want
After filtering by course/year/semester, you’ll see a list of subject-wise papers (e.g., “Data Structures and Algorithms – June 2019”, “Computer Networks – May 2018” etc).
Click on the link of the paper you need. For example, for MCA 1st year: “MCA-1-YEAR-BUSINESS-FLOW-SYSTEM-0374-JUN-2019” etc.
Step 5: Download / Save the PDF
When you click the link, the paper should open as a PDF (or a link to PDF).
Use your browser’s “Save As” or “Download” option to store the file on your device.
It’s a good idea to rename the file to something meaningful (e.g., “BSc Maths Sem3 May 2019_GJU.pdf”) and maintain an organised folder structure for easy access.
Step 6: Use the Papers Effectively
Solve the paper as though it is the real exam: allocate full time, note what you can complete, what you can’t.
After completing, check your answers (if answer-key is available) or compare with peers.
Analyse: which topics you struggled with, which questions took more time, which format (short, long answers) appears often.
Create a revision plan focusing on recurring weak areas.
4. Important Tips & Caveats
Make sure the paper you download matches your course structure (year/semester) and session (may-June/session etc). Using an older paper set with a different syllabus may mislead you.
If your course recently changed to semester system (or vice versa), double-check with your department whether the old papers of your mode apply.
For DDE (Distance mode) students: the paper pattern may slightly differ in terms of duration/marks – so always verify.
Use papers from official or trusted sources (university website or official DDE site) rather than unauthorised third-party sites, which may have missing or wrong files.
Try to accumulate a variety of years (at least last 3-5 years) so you can see trends.
If the university site doesn’t have some older years (or newer years) available, you may also look for archives or third-party sites which host old papers (but verify credibility). For example there are websites listing old papers of GJU for all years and subjects
