GATE ECE Topic Weightage: Historical PYQ Coverage

Historical topic coverage

Use your own AI account or subscription. Choose a service, then personalize the prompt in your chat.

A question can carry multiple topic tags. Counts and marks are independent per topic; adding rows can count the same question more than once. Use the data to explore past papers alongside the syllabus.

Analysis range

10 available years · 11 papers

ALL YEARS · COMPLETE ARCHIVE

Compare topics across all years

2017–2026 · 10 archived years · 11 papers. Compare total tagged coverage, recurrence and the observed range across years. This analysis uses the selected range and stays independent of the paper year selector.

Average = total matched tagged marks ÷ all 11 papers in this range. Years without a matching tag add no matched marks to this calculation; this does not establish zero actual exam coverage. Read the average alongside the years tagged.

The observed range uses only years with matched data, dividing each year’s marks by its paper count. Topic tags overlap, so totals cannot be added into a whole-paper marks split.

03 · UNDERSTAND THE COVERAGE

What these numbers mean

Check the coverage and matching method before comparing years or choosing study priorities.

Only normalized labels matching the archived 2026 syllabus are included. 569 raw tag/year rows were omitted or consolidated.

For duplicate aliases, the existing row with the most questions is selected. Overlapping aliases are not summed. This is label matching, not an independently reviewed classification of every question.

11 papers · 715 imported questions. 0 have no topic tag and 715 have more than one imported tag, including metadata tags.

Each topic/year row counts unique tagged questions and their printed marks. Missing matches mean no matched tag data; they do not prove a topic was not tested.
