📝 PAST YEAR QUESTIONS (PYQ)
Comprehensive collection of previous year questions for targeted practice
Year-wise Index
All PYQs from past 10+ years arranged by year for trend analysis
Subject-wise PYQ
PYQs categorized by major subject sections: Math, Mechanics, Manufacturing, Thermal, Design, OR, etc.
Difficulty-wise PYQ
Marked as Easy/Moderate/Hard based on solved-time and typical expected difficulty.
Topic-wise PYQ
Every PYQ tagged to exact syllabus topic(s) for targeted revision.
🧪 MOCK TEST SERIES — FULL ELABORATION
Comprehensive test series designed to simulate real GATE exam experience
Full-Length Tests
60+ complete GATE simulation tests containing all sections of the Mechanical Engineering paper. These tests replicate the exact Computer-Based Test format of GATE, including navigation, question types, timer, and interface.
Subject Tests
40+ focused sectional tests that target one major subject at a time. Examples include Thermal Engineering, Manufacturing Processes, Design of Machines, or Engineering Mathematics.
Topic Tests
200+ micro-practice tests, usually 10–20 minutes long, focusing on a single topic or concept. Perfect for revising difficult concepts in isolation and building accuracy.
Previous Year Simulation Mocks
These mocks are built entirely from previous year questions (PYQs). They simulate the distribution, difficulty, and pattern of real GATE questions from past 10+ years.
All-India Ranking
Every full-length mock assigns an All-India rank based on student performance. Rankings are real-time, updated after each test, and include comparison with peers.
Performance Graphs
Detailed graphical representation of your performance over time. Includes time-per-question graph, accuracy graph, topic-wise strength graph, and rank trend graph.
🎯 SPECIAL TEACHING TECHNIQUES
Innovative pedagogical approaches for maximum learning effectiveness
Walk-Based Teaching Structure
Short, highly focused "walks" through concepts instead of long, monotonous lectures. Each session is divided into Concept (10-15 min), Worked Example (15 min), and Practice (20 min) segments.
Question Immersion Technique
Start the class with a high-yield previous year question (PYQ). Reverse-engineer the problem to extract underlying concepts and methods. Generalize learning to similar problems.
Reverse Learning Method
Begin with a complex, multi-step problem and then break it down into elemental concepts. Students understand why each concept is important instead of rote learning.
Mistake Profiling
Maintain a per-student mistake log. Categorize errors into conceptual, calculation, and silly mistakes. Weekly remediation sessions focus on top 3 repeated error types.
Speed + Accuracy Training
Combines timed micro-tests and incremental pacing drills. Includes selective skipping strategies and mental math shortcuts for efficient problem-solving.
3-Level Revision System
Structured multi-level revision to consolidate learning: Concept Consolidation (Quick), Sectional Practice (Intermediate), and Full-Length Adaptive Revision (Advanced).

❓ FAQ SECTION
Frequently Asked Questions about GATE PI preparation
Eligibility: Engineering, technology, architecture graduates, and students in their final year of B.Tech/B.E./B.Arch/B.Sc (Research) programs. Students in 3rd or final year can start preparation early.
Primary choice: Mechanical Engineering (ME) paper. Optional considerations: Students interested in Production, Design, Thermal, or Manufacturing Engineering can also consider closely related papers based on PSU eligibility. Choose based on career goals and PSU branch preferences.
Foundation phase: 2–3 hours/day for theory + practice. Advanced phase: 4–5 hours/day, including PYQs and topic tests. Revision phase (pre-mock exams): 5–6 hours/day for focused practice and mock evaluation.
PYQs are high-yield indicators of topics repeatedly asked in GATE. They help students understand question trends, identify important formulas and shortcuts, and practice time management on real questions. Use Sourav Sir's PYQ-simulated mocks for pattern-based practice.
Suggested strategy: Module-wise approach - Cover one module fully (Theory + Examples + PYQs) before moving to next. Revision: Revisit key formulas, solved examples, and cheat sheets weekly. Integration with mocks: Use material to solve topic-level quizzes and sectional tests.
