Adding Study Materials

LazyHuman10 edited this page Apr 14, 2026 · 2 revisions

Plexi becomes more useful when students share good study materials.

Materials are added through the plexi-materials GitHub repository. You do not need to write code. You only need a GitHub account and the file you want to share.

What You Can Add

Good uploads include:

  • Lecture notes
  • PDFs
  • PPT or PPTX slides (in PDF format)
  • Syllabus files
  • Question papers
  • Question banks
  • Assignments or lab sheets

Do not upload:

  • Paid or copyrighted books unless you have permission.
  • Personal information, private student data, or answer sheets with names/roll numbers.
  • Files unrelated to the course.
  • Duplicate files already available in Plexi.

NOTE: All the files should be in PDF Format

Before You Upload

  1. Open Plexi Materials.
  2. Select the semester and subject.
  3. Check whether the file is already present.
  4. Rename your file clearly if needed. if possible add Unit number, Chapter name, Subject Name, etc

Good file names:

  • Unit-1-OSI-Model.pdf
  • Compiler-Design-Syllabus.pdf
  • DBMS-Question-Bank-2025.pdf

Avoid file names like:

  • unit-1.pdf
  • New Doc.pdf
  • finalfinal.pdf
  • WhatsApp Document 12345.pdf

Upload Steps

  1. Open the upload form: https://github.com/KunalGupta25/plexi-materials/issues/new?template=upload-material.yml
  2. Choose the correct Semester.
  3. Choose the correct Subject.
  4. Choose the Material Type.
  5. Drag and drop your file into the File box.
  6. Add a short note if useful, such as chapter number, unit number, or topic.
  7. Click Submit new issue.

GitHub attachments are usually limited to 25 MB per file. If your file is too large, compress it or ask for help in an issue.

  1. After that your files will be verified by the Maintainer and added to plexi.

Why Approval Is Needed

Approval prevents:

  • Wrong subject or semester entries.
  • Duplicate uploads.
  • Copyright problems.
  • Broken or unreadable files.
  • Spam.

This keeps the shared library useful for everyone.

If Your Upload Fails

Check the issue comments first. The automation usually posts the reason.

Common causes:

  • No file was attached.
  • The file is too large.
  • The file format is unsupported.
  • The selected subject does not match the semester.
  • The workflow failed while reading the file.

If you are not sure what happened, comment on the same issue and ask for help.
