FAQ

Is this the same as a model answer?
No. A model answer is written by someone else. We return your answer — improved in your words, with gaps filled. Your sentences, your structure, just made exam-ready.
How accurate is the scoring?
The rubric is fixed and deterministic — the same rules apply to every answer. We do not claim to predict your exact UPSC marks, but the logic of what earns and loses marks is fully explained.
How long does evaluation take?
Usually under 2 minutes after upload.
What file formats do you accept?
PDF or photos (JPG/PNG) of your handwritten answer sheet. PDFs are converted to page images in your browser before upload.
Do I need to write the question separately?
You can type the question or pick it directly from our Mains PYQ library while you practise.

This evaluation framework reflects structured, UPSC-aligned marking logic. It does not claim to predict final UPSC marks, but explains how marks are logically earned or lost.
