About Course
A complete practice course for GATE 2027 Engineering Sciences (XE) candidates who choose Polymer Science and Engineering (XE5, earlier XE-F) and Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences (XE7, earlier XE-H). It covers every part of your paper: General Aptitude, Engineering Mathematics (compulsory) and both optional sections.
What you get
- 19 previous year papers, 2008 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. Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences was not part of GATE XE before 2017, so the 2008 to 2016 papers carry only your other sections (2 hours). The 2007 paper had neither of your two optional sections and is not included. For the 2008 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 19 papers as PDF: the official question papers, cut down to your sections.
- 4 Formula Notes PDFs (General Aptitude, Engineering Mathematics, Polymer Science and Engineering, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences), 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, Polymer Science and Engineering 9, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences 9.
- 9 subject tests: General Aptitude 1, Engineering Mathematics 2, Polymer Science and Engineering 3, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences 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: 97 tests and more than 4,500 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.
