Dear students,
This post is a question bank prepared on the basis of questions asked in GTU EXAM. The questions are classified according to the chapters and corresponding years of examination.
Over the time your syllabus may have changed but you can get an idea about what type of questions can be asked from each chapter.
I have already published the unit wise mark weightage given by GTU on the syllabus page (Click here to view). I hope you will utilize this resource effectively and still if you have any doubts feel free to ask me.
