More about how PYQSathi works

Frequently asked questions

Are the question papers really free?

Yes. Every paper on PYQSathi can be downloaded free. There is no login, payment or phone number required.

Where do the papers come from?

From official sources such as exam conducting bodies’ websites. Each paper page shows its source, the date we retrieved it and whether we host a copy or link straight to the official file.

Why do some downloads open the official website?

Some exam bodies do not allow their papers to be re-hosted without permission. For those, the download button opens the original PDF on the official website instead of a copy on our servers.

Is PYQSathi an official or government website?

No. PYQSathi is an independent platform and is not affiliated with any exam body. Always confirm dates, patterns and eligibility on the official website.

A paper is broken or mislabelled. What should I do?

Use “Report a problem” on the paper’s page. Reports go straight to our review queue.
