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 exactly is a "stray vacancy round" in NEET UG counselling?

The stray vacancy round is typically the final stage of counselling, conducted to fill any remaining MBBS/BDS seats that were not allotted or remained vacant after all previous counselling rounds (Round 1, Round 2, Mop-Up). It's a last opportunity for eligible candidates to secure a seat based on merit and availability.

What documents are absolutely crucial for WB NEET UG 2026 admission after getting a seat in this round?

You must carry your NEET UG 2026 Admit Card, NEET UG 2026 Rank Card, provisional allotment letter from WBMCC, Class 10th and 12th mark sheets and certificates, domicile certificate, valid photo ID, category certificate (if applicable), passport-size photographs, and any other specific documents mentioned by WBMCC or your allotted institute.

What happens if I fail to report to my allotted institute by October 26, 2026?

Failure to report and complete the admission formalities, including submission of required documents, applicable fees, and bond (if any), by the stipulated deadline of October 26, 2026, will result in the forfeiture of your allotted MBBS/BDS seat. The seat will then be considered vacant, and you will lose your claim to it.

Can I still upgrade my seat or participate in another round after being allotted a seat in the stray vacancy round?

Generally, the stray vacancy round is the final round of counselling. Once a seat is allotted and you take admission in this round, there are typically no further opportunities for seat upgrades or participation in subsequent counselling rounds. Candidates should be fully committed to the allotted seat at this stage.

Where can I find detailed information regarding the college fees and bond requirements for my allotted institute?

For precise details on college fees, bond requirements, and the specific payment process, you must refer to the official prospectus or information brochure of your allotted medical/dental college. It is also highly advisable to directly contact the college administration or their admission cell for the most accurate and up-to-date instructions.

What should I do if there's a discrepancy in my WB NEET UG 2026 stray vacancy allotment result?

If you notice any discrepancy in your allotment details, immediately contact the West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee (WBMCC) through their official helpline or contact channels. Refer to the official counselling instructions for the procedure to address such issues promptly and seek clarification.

Candidates who have successfully secured an MBBS or BDS seat through the WB NEET UG 2026 stray vacancy round must adhere strictly to the admission timeline. The reporting and admission process is scheduled to conclude on October 26, 2026. This deadline is non-negotiable, and missing it could lead to the forfeiture of your allotted seat.

To complete the admission formalities, allotted candidates must physically report to their respective institutes. You will be required to present all necessary documents, submit the applicable college fees, and complete any mandatory bond requirements, as instructed by the counselling authorities and the individual institution. These requirements typically include your NEET UG admit card and rank card, academic certificates (10th and 12th), domicile certificate, category certificate (if applicable), allotment letter, identity proof, and passport-size photographs.
