Important Tips
Don't Rely on Past Difficulty: The difficulty level of exams (quiz, midterm, and final) is not fixed and changes from one semester to another.
Solve Past Papers (Dumps): It is highly recommended to practice with questions from previous years. This material constituted a large portion of the final exam last semester, and not studying it was a primary reason for its difficulty for many students.
Avoid AI in the Project: The use of AI tools to prepare the project will be checked, and its detection will result in a deduction of marks.
