1. IIITH PGEE 2026 – Exam structure
Based on the last 3 years' pattern, the paper is divided into three clear parts. Aptitude 40 marks, Technical 40 marks, Maths 10 marks. Total 90 marks.
Aptitude · 40 marks
3‑4 chart‑based DI, 8 passage‑based questions, remaining from Quant & Analytical.
Technical · 40 marks
Straightforward concept‑based questions. Revise notes, GATE PYQs. Most scoring.
Maths · 10 marks
Cover GATE Engineering Mathematics + extra topics. Easy marks.
2. Technical section – your scoring zone
Most scoring section. Questions are straightforward concept‑based, not very tricky, with some normal‑level calculations. They mainly check concept clarity and fundamentals.
What to do
• Revise from your own notes
• Don't ignore small topics
• Practice GATE previous year questions
Why it's predictable
If your basics are strong, this section becomes easy to score. Most questions are directly from core subjects.
3. Aptitude – practice is the key
Based on last 3 years: 3‑4 chart‑based questions (data interpretation), around 8 passage‑based questions, remaining from Quantitative and Analytical.
📊 Chart‑based questions (DI)
- Practice: Bar graphs, Pie charts, Line graphs, Table‑based DI.
- Focus on: Percentage increase/decrease, Ratio, Average, Comparison.
- Goal: Reduce calculation time – speed matters.
📝 Passage‑based questions (8 questions)
- Critical resource: testpreview.com/modules/reading1.htm – the second passage from this site was exactly repeated in the exam. Try all 9‑10 passages.
- Extra practice: aptitudetests4me.com/Passage_Reading.pdf
🧮 Quantitative Aptitude
- Can be time‑consuming. Practice more, improve calculation speed.
- Topics: Percentage, Ratio, Averages, Profit‑Loss, etc.
Speed tip
Quantitative questions can take time. Practice daily to increase calculation speed – it makes a huge difference.
4. Maths – 10 easy marks
Strategy: First cover the full GATE Engineering Mathematics syllabus, then prepare for any extra remaining topics. These are low‑hanging fruit.
Suggested approach
• Complete GATE Engineering Mathematics (Linear Algebra, Calculus, Probability, etc.)
• Identify extra topics from previous PGEE papers
• Practice regularly
5. Best resources – as recommended by AIR 11
IndiaBix
Good for beginners – strengthen fundamentals with easy to moderate questions. Start here if basics are weak.
All Branch GATE PYQs
Very good source – wide variety, mixed difficulty, improves conceptual clarity and problem‑solving.
Books
Arun Sharma (Quant), RS Aggarwal (Aptitude). Use topic‑wise for practice.

6. Personalised strategy based on GATE marks
| GATE Score Range | Strategy |
|---|---|
| > 50 | You already have strong technical knowledge. Focus on aptitude practice, frequent revision of technical notes, and mock tests. Don't start new topics – maintain level and improve speed. |
| 35 – 50 | Some topics may be weak. Identify weak subjects, cover missing topics, and practice aptitude in parallel. Balance both. |
| < 30 | Some subjects were probably skipped during GATE prep. For the next month: complete remaining subjects, strengthen fundamentals, practice aptitude daily. Foundation is more important than speed. |
7. ⭐ The exact passage website
Topper's secret
The second passage from testpreview.com/modules/reading1.htm was directly asked in our exam. There are around 9‑10 passages on that site – practice all. The level matches exactly. Also use the extra PDF for more exposure.
