FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How AI Mentor evaluates handwritten UPSC and State PCS answers, Hindi medium support, plans, payment, institutes and privacy.
How does handwritten answer evaluation work?
Write your answer on paper, take clear photos of the pages and upload them. The platform reads your handwriting, marks the answer against the demand of the question and returns a marked copy with margin remarks, marks for each part, and a model answer.
Does it work for Hindi-medium answers?
Yes. Hindi and English are treated equally: you get Hindi questions, Hindi remarks and a Hindi model answer if you write in Hindi. You can change your medium from your profile.
Which exams are covered?
UPSC Civil Services (Prelims, Mains GS, Essay and optional subjects), BPSC and UPPCS. More State PCS exams are being added.
Are the previous-year questions and keys official?
Questions are taken from the Commissions' published papers, and Prelims tests are scored against the final answer keys the Commission released, with that paper's own negative marking.
How long does a marked copy take?
Usually within the hour. Copies written in a scheduled test are returned together when the test's marking is complete.
Is it free?
Creating an account is free. After a quick check your account is approved and you receive free demo points for 3–4 evaluated answers. After that, plans start at ₹499, paid once — no subscription.
Why does my account need approval?
Every account is checked once so that one person has one account. It keeps free points fair and your work private. You get an email as soon as it is approved.
Can my coaching institute use this for our batch?
Yes. Institutes run AI Mentor under their own name, logo and marking standard, with their own tests and questions. Use the institute page to request a walkthrough.
I am a student of an institute that uses AI Mentor. How do I join?
Sign up with the institute code your coaching gave you. Your account joins your institute's batch.
Will the marks match the real exam?
No tool can promise a UPSC score. The evaluation follows how the paper is marked — demand of the question, structure, facts and presentation — so you can see where marks are lost and improve. It supplements a teacher; it does not replace one.
Is my data safe?
The platform is hosted in India on AWS (Mumbai) with nightly off-site backups. Your answers are visible to you and, if you joined through an institute, to your institute's faculty — nobody else.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. The platform works in the phone browser; photographing pages and uploading them is designed for phones.
How do I sign up and log in?
With your mobile number. You sign up with your mobile number and your email address, each confirmed by a one-time code, and then log in with a code sent to your mobile — no password to remember. One mobile number and one email can belong to only one account.
No question matches that. Ask us directly from the contact page.
