Product Offerings:

⁠

UPSC Mains is a summative assessment exam. These are the characteristics of an effective summative assessment exam:

Validity: Should measure what it appears to be. For UPSC - prelims it’s testing understanding of current events, general awareness, analytical and logical reasoning.

Reliability: Two people who are equally competent in the thing that is being measured should end up with the same result every time.

Practical & Scalable: Ease of implementation and high participation so that participants get a clear picture of where they stand.

Formative & Positive: Should inform future learning, improvement areas for candidate

Ethical: All participant should be evaluated fairly on their skills and knowledge. No participant should have unfair advantage over others. This is more of a behavior change, difficult to solve and is not taken into consideration in the test prep market

In the market, traditional coaching institutes like Vajiram, Vision IAS, and Drishti excel in creating mock tests that closely resemble the actual exam and have a large student base for comparison (Points 1,2 and 3)

Newer companies like Unacademy, Testbook, and Edurev focus more on providing detailed analytics and video-based solutions for post-test analysis. (Point 4)

However, there is still a gap in providing relevant content to learners, which can help them study efficiently without getting overwhelmed by the abundance of available material.

All competitors have addressed the issue of access to questions and test series, but there is limited intervention in terms of student motivation.

Factors like engagement, gamification, immediate gratification, and personalization are often overlooked but can play a crucial role in enhancing student motivation.

🤕 Pain Points

Pain Point 1: There is no single place to get the analysis of previous year question paper. Students have refer to multiple sources to get a detailed analysis. However analyzing PYQs is the first step that a

student takes in their learning journey⁠

. The objective of this analysis is to get the topic distribution, source of the question (News,NCERT,books etc), related questions that the students can practice to strengthen a topic and gain confidence in it.

Most institutes provide only Q&A of

previous year papers⁠

. Others provide a topic wise analysis of PYQs through videos and documents. Few provide just tips on how to

anlayze PYQs⁠

and leave it to students to complete this task themselves.

Due to this, lot of time is wasted in searching and collating the relevant content to get a comprehensive PYQ analysis

Pain Point 2: UPSC has a vast syllabus, students are encouraged to think logically and use various methods to arrive a the right answer. Though these techniques are taught in the lectures, explanation of FLT or practice test are often 1-2 sentences factual answer that lack logical way of approaching a problem. Due to lack of exposure on the application of such techniques, students find it difficult to apply them in actual exams

⁠

Pain Point 3: Most of the institutes and online platforms depends on the intrinsic motivation of students, Hence In absence of a gamified approach to learning, students end up loosing interest motivation to prepare for such exams
