About Course
A complete practice course for GATE 2027 Engineering Sciences (XE) candidates who choose Materials Science (XE2, earlier XE-C) and Polymer Science and Engineering (XE5, earlier XE-F). It covers every part of your paper: General Aptitude, Engineering Mathematics (compulsory) and both optional sections.
What you get
- 20 previous year papers, 2007 to 2026, as online tests (CBT): the actual GATE XE questions of your four sections, 3 hours, real marking scheme, answers as per the official key, with solutions. Polymer Science and Engineering was not a section of the GATE XE 2007 paper, so the 2007 paper carries only your other sections (2 hours). 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.
- The same 20 papers as PDF: the official question papers, cut down to your sections.
- 4 Formula Notes PDFs (General Aptitude, Engineering Mathematics, Materials Science, Polymer Science and Engineering), 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, Materials Science 9, Polymer Science and Engineering 9.
- 9 subject tests: General Aptitude 1, Engineering Mathematics 2, Materials Science 3, Polymer Science and Engineering 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: 98 tests and more than 4,700 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.
