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.

Rechecking vs Revaluation: Understanding the Risks

Before applying, it is vital to distinguish between the available services. Rechecking is a purely technical process where the board verifies that all questions have been marked and the total scores have been summed correctly. The examiner does not re-evaluate the content of your answers. This is the safest route if you suspect a calculation error.

Revaluation, however, involves a completely new assessment of your answer sheet by a different examiner. This process carries inherent risks, as your score could increase, decrease, or remain stagnant. Crucially, the final result post-revaluation is binding and cannot be contested. I often tell students that if you are using your study time to prepare for future competitive exams, such as banking or state police recruitments on Aspirant Arcade, you should treat your time as a limited resource and only choose revaluation if there is a significant, evidence-based discrepancy in your marks.

Tip

Requesting a scanned copy of your answer sheet is the most prudent first step. It allows you to audit the evaluation manually before committing to the risks of full revaluation.

Eligibility and Scope

▸Only theory papers are eligible for the revaluation process.
▸Practical examination marks are excluded from this review process.
▸Applicants must have their original Reference Number and Roll Number handy for the online application.
▸The process is entirely online; physical forms sent to the board office will not be processed.

How to Apply

The application process is centralized and fully digital. Access the official PSEB website and navigate to the 'News' or 'Press Release' section to locate the rechecking and revaluation link. You will be prompted to enter your credentials, specifically your Reference Number and Roll Number, which were provided during your initial registration. Ensure that your contact details on the portal are current, as future communication regarding your request will be directed to these channels.

Frequently Asked

Can my marks decrease if I apply for revaluation?

Yes. When you apply for revaluation, your answer sheet is re-examined entirely. The new score becomes final regardless of whether it is higher or lower than the original.

Is there a difference in fee between rechecking and revaluation?

Yes. Rechecking is typically treated as a clerical verification, whereas revaluation involves a subject expert. Refer to the fee schedule displayed on the PSEB portal during the application submission.

What should I do if I cannot find my Reference Number?

Check the email ID and mobile number registered during your exam application. If it is missing, consult your school administration or refer to the official support contact on the PSEB website.

Can I apply for revaluation for my practical exams?

No. The PSEB revaluation process is strictly limited to theory papers. Practical marks are not subject to challenge through this portal.

Is the outcome of the rechecking final?

Yes. Once the process is completed and the result is published by the board, no further appeals or re-reviews are permitted.
