TakeMockTest currently provides GATE 2026 practice for Computer Science and Information Technology (CS) only, not other GATE papers. Each mock has 65 questions for 100 marks: General Aptitude (10 questions, 15 marks), Engineering Mathematics (13 marks within the CS paper), and Core CS (72 marks within the CS paper), across 30 one-mark and 35 two-mark questions. Three question types appear: MCQ (single correct option; 1-mark wrong answers deduct 1/3 mark, 2-mark wrong answers deduct 2/3 mark), MSQ (multi-select; one or more correct options, full credit only for the exact correct set, zero credit for an incomplete or incorrect selection, no negative marking and no partial credit), and Numerical Answer Type or NAT (a typed numeric value, no negative marking). The official GATE 2026 CBT interface provides an on-screen virtual scientific calculator; this platform does not currently reproduce that calculator, so questions are written to be solvable without one.
