it is a very confusing subject so is it better to prepare for exams according to previous year papers pattern?

Hi,
Computer Architecture will most definitely have mathematics subjects in it. So please first of all make your mathematics knowledge solid. If you have discreet mathematics then make sure that you understand this subject well and good and you do not have problem in solving it given whatever question from that domain.
Next you might have finite automata. This genre looks very difficult if you do not understand it. But once you start understanding it, it is as simple as any other subject. If you want for the initial times you can hire a tutor for this.
Lastly, the digital logic portion needs to be prepared well. And as you say the previous year questions will help you definitely, to know better in these subjects. So go ahead.

First of all you need to learn the basics of the computer system architecture. If you enjoy using a computer then you should enjoy the behind the screen theories of it well. Ask any friend who knows the computer practically, if you start learning by getting practical then the subject will look so interesting. Last year I had the subject in my 7th semester and I quite liked the subjects after understanding the theory.
