What every GATE XE course has
- Previous year papers as online tests. The actual GATE XE questions of your sections from 2007 to 2026, each in the pattern and marking of its own year, with solutions. A section that joined the XE paper later has papers from its first year.
- The same papers as PDF. The official question papers, cut down to your sections.
- Formula notes. For General Aptitude, Engineering Mathematics and both your sections. Each formula comes with its assumptions, symbols, units and solved questions.
- Topic tests and subject tests. One topic at a time, then a full section in one sitting.
- 10 full-length tests and 30 bonus full-length tests. General Aptitude, Engineering Mathematics and your two sections together, like the exam.
- Solutions and rank after every test. Detailed step-by-step solutions open as soon as you submit.
Tests open in a real computer-based test screen, on a phone or a laptop. Access is for 12 months from the date of purchase.

Common questions
Are General Aptitude and Engineering Mathematics included?
Yes. Every course covers the whole paper: General Aptitude, the compulsory Engineering Mathematics section and your two optional sections.
I have not decided my two sections yet. What should I do?
Open two or three pairs and compare the syllabus of each section with what you studied in your degree. You can also book a 1:1 call with a mentor and decide together.
Are the answers of previous year papers official?
Where GATE published an answer key, the answers follow that key. For the 2007 to 2011 papers no official key is available, so those answers and solutions are worked out by our team. This is written on each such test.
Can I take the tests on my phone?
Yes. The tests, notes and papers open on a phone, tablet or laptop with the same login.
