Yes. All question papers and AI solutions are 100% free to browse, read, and practise during our launch offer. You do not need a credit card. Registered users also get access to generate random mock tests and download original PDF papers. View our Plans page for more details.
Yes. We source original question papers directly from official examination boards (including CBSE, Tamil Nadu DGE, Karnataka KSEAB/PUC, TNPSC, NTA, GATE IITs, and RRB). We retain the original paper PDF so you can always cross-reference the digital questions with the original paper.
Whenever an official answer key is released by the exam authority, that key strictly decides the correct answer. The AI writes step-by-step reasoning explaining the underlying formula, logic, or constitutional clause. For older papers without an official key, the AI derives the solution with transparent steps. You can report any discrepancy on our Contact page.

CrackPYQ.com is a previous-year-question-paper practice platform for competitive exams — GATE, TNPSC, UGC-NET, CSIR-NET, RRB, TRB exams and more. Every paper comes with AI-generated, step-by-step solutions, and you can turn any paper into a timed mock test.
We currently cover TNPSC (Group 1/2/4 and departmental exams), GATE, UGC-NET, CSIR-NET, RRB, CMAT, and TRB exams, with more boards being added regularly. You can see the full list of boards and exam counts on the homepage.
Every solution is generated independently by AI reading the actual question — it does not rely on any candidate's hand-marked answers from scanned papers, which can be wrong. While the vast majority of solutions are accurate, exam content is still reviewed on an ongoing basis, and we recommend cross-checking against the official answer key where one is published.
