Step 1: Get the Syllabus.
Step 2: Get all the books prescribed in the syllabus, nevermind the form(solid, electronic) in which you get them.
Step 3: Sit in the first bench and try to make (little) sense atleast in every class.
Step 4: Aim to study 7 units per subject.
Step 5: Have a look at what the seniors studied.
Step 6: Study the seniors portion if possible.
Step 7: Study units which you are most clueless about. Trick here is if you cant make much sense of it neither can the paper setters. The Questions are almost always direct or repetitive.
Step 8: Read old solved Question papers.
Step 9: Pray that the above 8 steps are enough.
Step 10: Sleep a lot less during the 2 weeks of exam and dont panic on the last day.
p.s. if you followed the above 10 steps and are still not confident of getting a distinction. well Congrats! You’re a student of VTU!
an Innocent Life 
Lol!! Good Luck!!!
Hee…i dont have much of experience with VTU ..but all exams suck(more o less equally…but special place for VTU exams..LOL)
step 9 is my favorite…
yeah praying has to be included 😛 for semi-atheists like me 😀
luck is the most matter for vtu result,.,.
this is a very dab idea.study only 4 units to get pass in vtu exam.write atleast 35 pages in booklet.dont study vtu precribed text books before the day of exams.first write well studied questions well in start of booklet.
i did only the last step and i passed…;)
i studied but I didn’t got good marks so i’m not interst….
I study for exam one day before and I got good marks so I think just go through some old question paper and study it
