PYQShala

Terms of Use

Effective 12 November 2026

These terms apply to PYQShala (the "site"), run by PYQShala. By using the site you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

1. What the site is

PYQShala is a free practice resource. It lets you browse previous year exam questions by subject and topic, check your answers and track your progress. It is not affiliated with GATE, IISc Bangalore, the IITs or any exam-conducting body. Nothing here is an official answer key or result.

2. Accounts

  • You need an account to unlock all years, save progress, bookmark and post. Signing up is free.
  • Give your real name and a mobile number you own. Keep one account per person.
  • You are responsible for activity on your account. Don't share your OTP with anyone.
  • You must be 18 or older, or use the site with the consent of a parent or guardian.

3. Who owns what

  • Question papers belong to their original publishers (for GATE, the organising IISc/IITs). They appear here for education and practice. Each question names its source.
  • Everything else is © 2026 PYQShala. All rights reserved. That includes the site's design, code, the typed and formatted versions of questions, figures we prepared, topic classification, tags, explanations and the way the collection is organised.
  • You may use the site for your own studies. You may share links to pages. You may not copy the collection or any large part of it.

4. Not allowed

  • Scraping, crawling, bulk downloading or any automated collection of content, by bots, scripts or any other tool.
  • Using the site's content to build a competing product or to train AI or machine-learning models.
  • Republishing questions, explanations or user posts from the site elsewhere without written permission.
  • Getting around access limits (for example, locked years), probing for security flaws, or overloading the service.
  • Creating fake accounts, or requesting OTPs for numbers you don't own.

We may block, rate-limit or take legal action against anyone who breaks these rules.

5. Your posts (solutions, comments, reports)

  • You keep ownership of what you write. You give PYQShala a free, worldwide, non-exclusive licence to show, store, format and keep it on the site.
  • Post only your own work. Nothing unlawful, abusive, hateful, sexual, misleading, spam or advertising, and nobody's personal information.
  • We may hide, edit or remove posts and suspend accounts that break these rules. Other users can report posts. Reported posts may be hidden automatically.

6. Accuracy

Questions were typed from official papers and answers come from official keys where available, but mistakes are possible. Use the Report an error button if you spot one. The site is provided "as is", without warranties. To the extent the law allows, PYQShala is not liable for losses arising from its use.

7. Changes and ending

We may change the site or these terms. When we do, the date at the top changes, and continuing to use the site means you accept the new terms. You can delete your account at any time (see the Privacy Policy).

8. Law and complaints

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Courts in India have jurisdiction. For complaints about content or these terms, write to our Grievance Officer (see Contact) at [contact email not set].
