GATE Daily

Get a GATE Daily practice set: ten original GATE CS & IT questions in the exam's format (MCQ, MSQ, NAT; 1 and 2 marks; GATE negative marking), published every day at 00:00 IST. Returns the questions without answers. Use it when the user wants to practise for GATE CS, solve questions, or keep a daily study habit. Leave out date for today's set.

  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "date": {
      "description": "A past set's date, YYYY-MM-DD (IST). Leave out for today's set.",

    }
  },

}

Score the user's answers to a GATE Daily set the way GATE does (a wrong MCQ costs 1/3 or 2/3 of its marks; MSQ and NAT have no negative marking and no partial credit) and get the answer, worked solution and a note to remember for every question. Call it once, after the user has answered; questions left out count as skipped. For a signed-in user the set is saved to their record (the first submission of a set stays).

Get one of the day's two GATE Daily subject sets: five original GATE CS questions on one subject, a deeper rep than the mixed daily set. For signed-in users (free); without a GATE Daily sign-in this asks the user to connect their account. Leave out subject to see the day's choice. Returns the questions without answers; submit with submit_answers and the subject.
