To pursue UG courses, Ravenshaw University is one of the best options. Ravenshaw is one of the oldest and premier institutions in Odisha and currently it is at the top in Odisha for providing UG courses. The infrastructure of this university is very beautiful and all the departments of this university are well designed to give a nice atmosphere to the students to study and create a learning environment. 

However, if you are talking about postgraduate courses, then it is not wise to compare the institute as a whole. Rather it will be better to find out about the course you are interested in. Look for lecturer profiles, field exposure, course studies, etc.

You have to contact the respective department. One of my friends who was preparing for the MFC exam got all the questions from the office of the Department of Commerce. They may charge you but it is a very reasonable amount. 

It also depends on whether the department is giving the questions. For example, the MBA Department does not give any question papers for certain reasons.
