- Adding Departments/Courses: If you can't find your department in PYQs or Notes, you can add it using the plus icon. Prefer adding a department if you have relevant PDFs for some of the courses.
- Accessing Resources: Navigate through Notes or PYQs into a course to see a list of uploaded materials that you can download. You can also share your own resources.
