About The Project:

This platform was created as part of our Software Lab Project with the aim of supporting GATE aspirants during their preparation journey. Our goal is to provide a space for students to share their question-answer sets, upload solutions with markdown support (so your algorithm's pseudocode doesn't look messy), and keep motivated through a profanity filter, ensuring that no negative language hinders your focus.
