This depends on how well you want to perform in your exams. If your aim is to just get passing marks, then it is fine to prepare from the last 5 years' question papers. But it also depends on luck as sometimes all the questions are new and none of them are repeated.
Therefore it is better to study everything and complete the syllabus and then practice from the last 5 years' question papers.
Try taking the guidance provided by your teachers and also your seniors. You can opt for coaching classes also to prepare better. Divide your strengths and weaknesses and work on them accordingly.
Lastly, practice from the previous years papers. This will familiarize you with the question pattern, the overall questions and give you an idea about the time limit.
The Statistics department is one of the best at Bangalore University (BU). But if you are planning on doing your M.Sc. from BU, then it is advised that you opt for it in any other institution.
As, BU is known to delay the publication of the results, which is one of the major complaints of the students. They also take no action to rectify their faults. Your complaints will tend to go unheard most of the time.
There are a lot of things that Bangalore University students can do on weekends.
Other than studying you can explore the city. There are few historical places. You can attend events like theater, play, concert, etc at Chitrakala Parishad. You can go on long drives, check out some cafes. If you are interested you can also spend time getting associated with NGOs to help the needy ones.
