Is it really free? No hidden charges?

100% free. No in-app purchases, no subscriptions, no forced ads. Play immediately from the shared question bank — no setup needed. Optional extras stay optional: watch a rewarded ad only if you want +5 coins, and add your own free Gemini API key only if you want unlimited AI-generated questions.

What is a Gemini API key and do I need one?

You don't need one — the shared question bank works without it. A Gemini key is a free key from Google AI Studio that unlocks unlimited freshly generated AI questions tuned to your exam and branch. Takes 2 minutes, no billing: aistudio.google.com → Get API Key → Create → copy and paste.

Should I install from Google Play or the APK?

Both give you the same app — Aspirant Arcade is live on Google Play. Play Store is the easiest route: standard install, automatic updates. The direct APK is for anyone who prefers to skip the Play Store — it installs in 30 seconds after enabling 'Install unknown apps'. Don't want to install anything? The web version runs straight in your browser.

Which engineering branches are supported?

Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, Chemical, Computer Science/IT, Electronics, Metallurgy, Mining and Petroleum. Questions generated specifically for your branch — not generic.

Will questions repeat across sessions?

No. The app tracks every question you've seen and tells Gemini to avoid them. Every session has fresh questions.

Does it work offline?

Partially. Bookmarked questions and insights are available offline. AI question generation needs internet to call the Gemini API.

Yes. Stored locally on your device using encrypted secure storage. Never sent to any server — not ours, not anyone's.

Which engineering exams are covered?

GATE, IES/ESE and PSU recruitment exams — HPCL, Coal India, BHEL, ONGC, NTPC, SAIL, IOCL, GAIL, BPCL and more. Interview Simulator available for exams with GD/PI rounds like HPCL, BHEL and IES.

Is Aspirant Arcade only for engineering exam aspirants?

No — engineering (GATE, IES, PSU) is one of five categories. It also covers entrance exams (JEE Main, JEE Advanced, NEET, CUET, BITSAT), govt exams (SSC, Banking, Police), college degrees (BCA, MCA, MBBS, Nursing, B.Pharm and more) and CBSE Class 9–12 boards. Pick your category on the home screen.

Does Aspirant Arcade cover SSC, Banking and Police exams?

Yes. SSC CGL, CHSL, MTS, GD Constable and CPO, IBPS PO/Clerk, SBI PO/Clerk, UP Police Constable and Delhi Police Constable are all covered with free, section-wise gamified MCQ practice matching each exam's real syllabus, question count and marking scheme.

Is Aspirant Arcade a replacement for Testbook, Adda247, Physics Wallah or Unacademy?

No — it's a free companion, not a competitor. Platforms like Testbook, Adda247, Physics Wallah and Unacademy give you structured courses, live classes and full-length mocks. Aspirant Arcade adds a gamified practice layer on top: streaks, survival rounds, multiplayer challenges and AI interview drills that turn idle scroll time into extra MCQ reps between coaching sessions.

Which college degree exams are supported?

BCA, MCA, MBBS, BMLT/BMLS, BMRIT, BPT (Physiotherapy), B.Sc Nursing and B.Pharm — free subject-wise core practice authored from each degree's real university curriculum, with shared foundational subjects (like Anatomy and Physiology) reused across the medical degrees at the right difficulty band.

Do I need a Gemini API key to play?

No. You can play immediately from our shared question bank — no key or signup required. Adding a free Gemini key (Google AI Studio, 2 minutes, no billing) unlocks unlimited freshly generated questions every session.

How do coins and multiplayer challenges work?

You start with 100 coins, earn +50 per referral, and can watch an optional rewarded ad for +5. Spend 2 coins to unlock a question hint. For multiplayer, create a Synced Challenge lobby, share the invite code with up to 10 friends, and compete under a synchronized 5-minute timer for ranked trophy scorecards.

Focus Mode is an Android-only feature that catches you on Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts and makes you clear a few MCQs from your branch and syllabus before you can keep scrolling. You set the scroll limit and how many questions, and you can turn it off anytime. It turns doom-scrolling into drip-fed revision without quitting the app.

Does Focus Mode read my messages or spy on me?

No. It only checks which app is open and the screen name (Reels or Shorts) — like a sign on a door, not what's inside the room. It never reads your DMs, captions, comments or the videos themselves, and nothing leaves your phone. Questions are cached locally on your device.

What is the primary reason for the AIAPGET 2026 counselling postponement?

The counselling process has been postponed due to administrative reasons, as stated by the Ayush Admissions Central Counselling Committee (AACCC).

Should I still prepare my documents even though the counselling is delayed?

Absolutely. It is highly recommended to gather and organize all necessary documents, including originals and photocopies, during this waiting period to avoid any last-minute rush or delays once the new schedule is announced.

Will the postponement affect the academic session start date for AIAPGET 2026?

While the counselling is postponed, the AACCC aims to adhere to academic timelines as much as possible. Any impact on the academic session start date will be communicated through official channels along with the revised schedule.

How can Aspirant Arcade help me during this AIAPGET counselling waiting period?

Aspirant Arcade offers a robust platform for revisiting your exam concepts, practicing topic-wise questions, and attempting mock tests. Utilise this time to strengthen any weaker areas and stay mentally sharp, ensuring you're fully prepared for the next stage of admissions.

Is there a possibility that the AIAPGET 2026 seat matrix will change significantly?

The AACCC has confirmed a revised seat matrix will be released. While the extent of changes is not specified, candidates should wait for this updated document and not rely on previous seat information to make their counselling choices.

AIAPGET 2026 Counselling Postponed: Revised Schedule Awaited

What's Official: AIAPGET 2026 Counselling Postponement

The Ayush Admissions Central Counselling Committee (AACCC) has officially announced the postponement of the All India AYUSH Post Graduate Entrance Test (AIAPGET) 2026 counselling process until further notice. This decision, attributed to administrative reasons, impacts all candidates aspiring for postgraduate AYUSH courses in the 2026-27 academic session.

Aspirants should note that the original Round 1 registration, previously slated to commence on October 26, 2026, will not proceed as planned. The AACCC is expected to release a revised counselling schedule and an updated seat matrix on its official website, aaccc.gov.in, in due course. Candidates must rely solely on official announcements for the commencement of registration and subsequent counselling activities.

Understanding the Impact: What This Means for Aspirants

The postponement of AIAPGET 2026 counselling necessitates a shift in strategy for all aspirants. While frustrating, this delay offers an opportunity to ensure meticulous preparation. The revised schedule will encompass new dates for registration, choice filling, choice locking, seat allotment, and reporting to the allotted institutes. It is crucial for candidates to maintain vigilance and regularly check the official AACCC website.

This period of uncertainty underscores the importance of staying calm and avoiding speculative information. Focus on verifiable updates from the official source, as any changes in the schedule will directly influence your admission timeline and procedures. Your patience and preparedness will be key during this waiting period.

The Critical Role of the Revised AIAPGET 2026 Seat Matrix

Parallel to the revised counselling schedule, the AACCC will also issue an updated AIAPGET 2026 seat matrix. This document is indispensable for candidates, as it will detail the exact number of seats available across participating institutions and various reservation categories.

It is imperative for aspirants to wait for this revised seat matrix. Relying on previous or outdated seat information could lead to misinformed decisions during the choice filling process. The updated matrix will provide the most accurate picture of seat availability, allowing you to make strategic and well-informed choices for your preferred AYUSH postgraduate courses.

AIAPGET Counselling 2026: Essential Documents Checklist

With the counselling process on hold, aspirants have additional time to meticulously prepare all necessary documents. Proactive organization of these records will prevent last-minute delays and ensure a smooth verification process when the counselling resumes. Assemble both original documents and multiple sets of photocopies.

The core documents required for AIAPGET 2026 counselling include your AIAPGET 2026 admit card, AIAPGET 2026 scorecard or rank letter, and the AACCC provisional seat allotment letter (once issued). Academic records are crucial: Class 10 marksheet and certificate (for date-of-birth verification), Class 12 marksheet and certificate, all marksheets of professional examinations, and your relevant undergraduate degree certificate (BAMS, BHMS, BUMS, or BSMS).

Further essential documents comprise the compulsory rotatory internship completion certificate, a permanent or provisional registration certificate from the relevant AYUSH council, and a valid photo identity proof (e.g., Aadhaar card, passport, PAN card, or driving licence). Category-specific certificates, if applicable, such as Caste certificate, Economically Weaker Section (EWS) certificate, Other Backward Classes (OBC) Non-Creamy Layer certificate, and Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD) certificate, must also be ready. Lastly, ensure you have recent passport-size photographs. Remember, additional documents might be requested by the allotted institute based on specific course or admission requirements.

Maximising the Waiting Period: Strategic Steps for AIAPGET Aspirants

While waiting for the revised AIAPGET 2026 counselling schedule, aspirants should proactively utilise this unexpected window. Instead of passive waiting, engage in activities that strengthen your profile and readiness for the next steps. Review your AIAPGET 2026 result and scorecard thoroughly to understand your performance and rank.

This extended window is an excellent opportunity to revisit your strengths and weaknesses. Utilise platforms like Aspirant Arcade to drill topic-wise questions, attempt full-length mock tests, and refine your exam strategy. Consistent practice now will build confidence for counselling and beyond. Stay connected with official channels, and consider re-evaluating your preferred institutions and courses in light of potential seat matrix changes. Use this time to research participating colleges, their specialisations, and faculty to make informed choices during counselling.
