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.

I registered in a previous round. Do I need to register again for Round 3?

Yes, all eligible candidates must complete the registration process for Round 3. However, if you have already paid the processing fee in an earlier phase, you do not need to pay it again.

What if I miss the September 13 deadline for changing web options?

If you miss the September 13, 2026, deadline for changing options, your previously submitted web options will be considered final for the Round 3 seat allotment. There will be no further opportunities to modify your preferences.

What documents should I keep ready for self-reporting and college reporting?

While the specific list will be detailed in your allotment letter, typically you will need your AP EAMCET rank card, hall ticket, Aadhaar card, mark sheets (SSC, Intermediate/equivalent), transfer certificate (TC), study certificates, caste certificate (if applicable), income certificate (if applicable), and local status certificate (if applicable). Refer to the official notification and your allotment letter for a comprehensive list.

What happens if I don't get a seat in Round 3?

If you do not get a seat in Round 3, it indicates that based on your rank and preferences, no seats were available in the colleges/courses you opted for. There are generally no further rounds of counselling for AP EAMCET after the third phase, as it is the final one. You might explore other admission avenues or private college admissions.

How important is the order of preferences in web option entry?

The order of preferences is critically important. The seat allotment system attempts to allocate a seat based on your highest preferred college/course first. If that's not available, it moves to your next preference, and so on. A carefully prioritized list significantly increases your chances of getting a seat you desire.

Can I self-report to a college without physically visiting?

While initial self-reporting might involve online steps, physical reporting to the allotted college between September 16 and September 19, 2026, is mandatory to confirm your admission. Failure to do so will result in the forfeiture of your allotted seat. Always follow the specific instructions provided in your allotment letter precisely.
