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.

Tip

Organize your documents in a clear file, separating originals from photocopies for easy access during verification.

Generally, cutoffs for government medical colleges remain competitive, with slight variations based on the year's applicant pool and exam difficulty.

It's crucial to remember that these are estimated trends based on historical data. The actual cutoff depends on factors like the number of candidates, their scores, and seat availability.

Always refer to the official website for definitive cutoff information once released.

Frequently Asked

What if I face issues downloading my UP NEET UG Round 1 allotment letter?

First, ensure your internet connection is stable and you're using the correct login credentials on the official UP NEET counselling website. If the problem persists, try clearing your browser cache or using a different browser. If the issue remains unresolved, immediately contact the official helpline numbers provided on the counselling portal for technical assistance.

Can I report to the college if I'm missing one or two original documents?

No, it is highly inadvisable. You must carry all specified original documents and their photocopies for verification. Colleges have strict protocols, and missing essential documents can lead to rejection of your admission. In case of an unavoidable missing document, contact the allotted college's admission department beforehand to understand if any temporary arrangement is possible, though this is rare.

What should I do if there's a minor discrepancy in my documents during verification?

Report the discrepancy immediately to the verifying authority at the institute. They will guide you on the corrective measures or affidavits required. Having supporting documents or proofs ready to rectify minor errors can be helpful. Do not attempt to conceal any discrepancies, as this could lead to more severe issues.

If I secure a seat in Round 1 but wish to upgrade in Round 2, what's the process?

Candidates who get a seat in Round 1 and wish for an upgrade in subsequent rounds typically need to 'freeze' their current seat by completing the admission formalities, including fee payment. Then, they must indicate their willingness for up-gradation during the Round 2 choice filling. The exact procedure will be detailed in the official notification for Round 2 Counselling when it is announced.

What if I miss the reporting deadline for UP NEET UG Round 1?

Missing the reporting deadline will most likely result in the forfeiture of your allotted seat. The seat will then become available for subsequent rounds of counselling. There are generally no extensions for reporting, so adhering to the September 14, 2026, deadline is absolutely crucial to secure your admission.
