PYQ Portal: A Full-Stack Web Platform for Managing Previous Year Question Papers and Academic Resources

The PYQ Portal was successfully developed as a full-stack web application to simplify access to previous year question papers, study materials, and academic resources for students. The system provides a structured and user-friendly platform where users can easily browse subjects, download PDFs, receive live updates, and interact through the comment section. The integration of technologies such as MongoDB, Express.js, Node.js, Cloudinary, and Bootstrap helped in building a secure, responsive, and scalable application. The admin panel also improved content management by allowing efficient uploading and organization of study materials. Overall, the proposed system achieved its goal of improving academic resource accessibility and providing students with a centralized platform for better exam preparation and learning support.
