Questions GATE XL students ask
What's in the GATE XL test series?
Full mocks in the real General Aptitude, Chemistry and your 2 chosen XL sections pattern, unit tests for each unit, and section tests for each XL section on its own, from Chemistry to Zoology. New ones are added every week until the exam. After each test you see your score by section, subject and topic.
Does it follow the pattern of the next exam?
Yes. The mocks follow the pattern in the latest official notice for February 2027. If the pattern changes, the mocks change with it.
Is the test series in monthly plans?
No. The test series comes with annual plans only: Manthan Elite: GATE XL, or Manthan Elite.
What is the difference between the two plans?
Nothing, except the exams. Manthan Elite: GATE XL gives you everything in Elite for GATE XL only. Elite gives you the same for all 7 exams.
Can I choose my two XL sections?
Yes. Before each full mock you pick 2 of Biochemistry, Botany, Microbiology and Zoology.
Which subjects can I test?
All 17 subjects of the GATE XL syllabus.
Do free papers use my 5 free tests?
No. Past papers and topic sets on the free practice page don't count. Only tests you create count.
Does my plan renew automatically?
No. Payment is one-time. Nothing is charged again unless you buy again.
Are these the real GATE XL papers?
Yes. Each paper has the questions as they were asked in that exam, in the same sections and order.
Do I need an account?
Yes, a free one. Sign up with Google or email. No card needed.
Can I download the papers?
Yes. Each paper's PDF is in our free downloads. Choose "Get the PDF" on a paper.
How do I practice a topic that isn't in the free sets?
Pick its subject under "Every other topic". It opens Test Manthan with that subject chosen.
Are the papers timed and marked like the real exam?
Yes. 3 hours, General Aptitude, Chemistry and your 2 chosen sections, MCQ, MSQ and NAT, the same negative marking on MCQs.
