Transform your vault into a powerful GATE examination platform.

The GATE Simulator is a plugin designed specifically for GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) aspirants. It provides a realistic examination experience using previous year questions while helping you identify weak areas, track your progress, and prepare more efficiently.

Unlike traditional PDF collections, this plugin turns your question bank into an interactive exam environment directly inside your vault.
