One of my friends studied at Periyar University. According to him, you can easily score good marks, you just need to compile your 5 years mark sheets and mark all the common questions, and study them with discipline.
You must remember the bullet points and describe them in your own words. Simply mark all the important topics during lectures and study them thoroughly. Also, make it a note to revise the rest of the points a day before the exam. By following these simple things you would be able to ace the exams.
