About Course
A complete practice course for GATE 2027 Engineering Sciences (XE) candidates who choose Fluid Mechanics (XE1, earlier XE-B) and Textile Engineering and Fibre Science (XE9, earlier the separate GATE paper TF). It covers every part of your paper: General Aptitude, Engineering Mathematics (compulsory) and both optional sections.
What you get
- 20 GATE XE papers, 2007 to 2026, as online tests (CBT): the actual GATE XE questions of General Aptitude, Engineering Mathematics and Fluid Mechanics (43 questions, 65 marks, 2 hours in the present pattern), real marking scheme, answers as per the official key, with solutions. For the 2007 to 2011 papers no official answer key is available; their answers and solutions are worked out by our team. Till 2009 the XE paper had no General Aptitude section and a different number of questions and marks; those papers are given in their own pattern. Textile Engineering and Fibre Science becomes a GATE XE section in 2027; till 2026 it was the separate GATE paper TF, so it is not part of these XE papers.
- 6 GATE TF papers, 2021 to 2026, as online tests (CBT): the 55 subject questions (85 marks) of each official Textile Engineering and Fibre Science paper, answers as per the official key, with solutions. This is the closest real practice for your Textile section.
- The official question papers as PDF: the 20 GATE XE papers cut down to your sections, and the complete GATE TF papers of 2021 to 2026.
- 4 Formula Notes PDFs (General Aptitude, Engineering Mathematics, Fluid Mechanics, Textile Engineering and Fibre Science), arranged chapter-wise. Every formula comes with the assumptions behind it, the meaning and unit of each symbol, common traps, and 5 solved practice questions that cover the different ways it is asked.
- 29 topic tests: General Aptitude 3, Engineering Mathematics 8, Fluid Mechanics 9, Textile Engineering and Fibre Science 9.
- 9 subject tests: General Aptitude 1, Engineering Mathematics 2, Fluid Mechanics 3, Textile Engineering and Fibre Science 3.
- 10 full-length tests in the exact GATE XE pattern: 65 questions, 100 marks, 180 minutes.
- 30 bonus full-length tests for extra practice in the last months.
In all: 104 tests and more than 4,600 questions, plus the notes and papers in PDF.
Pattern followed
- General Aptitude: 10 questions, 15 marks. Engineering Mathematics: 11 questions, 15 marks. Each optional section: 22 questions, 35 marks.
- MCQ, MSQ and NAT questions. Wrong MCQ: one-third (1-mark) or two-thirds (2-mark) negative. No negative marks for MSQ and NAT.
- On-screen calculator and number keypad, as in the real exam.
