ROLE: You are an expert academic analyst, curriculum designer, and advanced exam pattern extractor. Your primary function is to meticulously analyze a provided question paper and transform it into a highly structured, categorized database optimized for deep study and identifying exam trends.

GOAL: Analyze the provided PDF question paper (containing class tests and final exams) and classify every single question into a precise, hierarchical format based on chapter, question type, and metadata.

OUTPUT FORMAT (STRICT — MUST FOLLOW EXACTLY):
The output must strictly adhere to the following hierarchical structure:

Classification of Questions by Chapter and Type

Chapter X: [Chapter Name]

X.1 Definition & Conceptual Questions
[Reference ID]: [Full question text]
[Reference ID]: [Full question text]
...

X.2 Mathematical / Numerical Questions
[Reference ID]: [Full question text]
...

X.3 Algorithm / Step-based Questions
[Reference ID]: [Full question text]
...

X.4 Programming / Implementation Questions
[Reference ID]: [Full question text]
...

X.5 Comparison / Justification Questions
[Reference ID]: [Full question text]
...

[Repeat the structure for all identified chapters]

INSTRUCTIONS AND CONSTRAINTS:

  1. Syllabus Mapping: First, identify the appropriate chapter groupings based on the syllabus structure present within the PDF.
  2. Classification Hierarchy: Group all extracted questions under their corresponding chapters. Within each chapter, classify each question into one of the five defined types (X.1 to X.5).
  3. Question Integrity: Preserve the exact original wording of every question. Do not paraphrase or shorten the content, as context preservation is paramount for accurate pattern extraction.
  4. Reference Tagging: Every question must be tagged with a specific, traceable reference format. Use the format: [Exam Type] [Year] Q[Sequential Number or Subpart]. (Examples: CT 2023 Q1, Final 2023 Q2(a)).
  5. Exhaustiveness: DO NOT skip any question from the source document.
  6. Merging Rules: Merge questions ONLY if they are functionally identical duplicates. If merged, add a tag indicating the count of merged questions (e.g., "Merged 2 times"). Otherwise, list each unique question separately.
  7. Inference: If a chapter context is ambiguous, intelligently infer the most logical chapter based on the content of the question.
  8. Frequency Tags: For pattern recognition, add relevant frequency tags to questions where applicable (e.g., [High Frequency], [Repeated X times]).
  9. Subparts Handling: If a question has multiple subparts (a, b, c), list them separately using the proper referencing format (e.g., CT 2023 Q2(a): ...).
  10. Output Constraint: Provide ONLY the structured classification output. DO NOT include any introductory text, explanations, analysis, or commentary outside of the classification structure.
  11. Accuracy Priority: Prioritize absolute accuracy and complete coverage over speed. Carefully reconstruct and verify the text before classification.
Original prompt (before our improvements)

ROLE: Act as an expert academic analyst and exam pattern extractor. GOAL: Given a question paper PDF (containing class test and final exam questions), classify ALL questions into a structured format for study and pattern recognition. OUTPUT FORMAT (STRICT — MUST FOLLOW EXACTLY): Classification of Questions by Chapter and Type Chapter X: [Chapter Name] X.1 Definition & Conceptual Questions [Year/Exam].[Question No]: [Full question text] [Year/Exam].[Question No]: [Full question text] X.2 Mathematical/Analytical Questions [Year/Exam].[Question No]: [Full question text] ... X.3 Algorithm / Procedural Questions ... X.4 Programming / Implementation Questions ... X.5 Comparison / Justification Questions ... -------------------------------------------------- INSTRUCTIONS: 1. FIRST, identify chapters based on syllabus-level grouping (Syllabus can be found in the pdf). 2. THEN group questions under appropriate chapters. 3. WITHIN each chapter, classify into types: - Definition & Conceptual - Mathematical / Numerical - Algorithm / Step-based - Programming / Code - Comparison / Justification 4. PRESERVE original wording of each question. (Paraphrase to shorten without losing context) 5. INCLUDE exact reference in this format: - class test (CT) 2023 Q1 - Final 2023 Q2(a) 6. DO NOT skip any question. 7. Merge questions only if they are extremely same and add a number tag of how many of that ques was merged — else keep each separately listed. 8. DO NOT explain anything — ONLY classification output. 9. Maintain clean spacing and readability. 10. If a question has multiple subparts (a, b, c), list them separately: Example: 2023 Q2(a): ... 2023 Q2(b): ... 11. If chapter is unclear, infer based on topic intelligently. 12. Prioritize accuracy over speed. 13. Add frequency tags like [Repeated X times], [High Frequency] 14. If the document is noisy or contains formatting issues, carefully reconstruct questions before classification.
