Terms of use

Short, because the product is simple: you practise on past examination questions, we keep your progress, and either of us can end that at any time. These terms are between you and Swathi Ganti, Visakhapatnam, India, who runs PrepKar.

1. What the service is

PrepKar is a practice tool for Indian competitive examinations. It offers questions from past papers, explanations, timed tests, adaptive practice, flashcards and a written coaching note, and it keeps a record of your work so the next set can be chosen for you. It is a study aid. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or acting for the Union Public Service Commission or any other examining body, and it makes no promise about your result.

2. The questions and where they come from

Questions are taken from publicly available past examination papers and government sources and are reproduced for practice. Explanations, classifications and coaching notes are written by us, with the help of language models and a checking process, and are provided for practice only. They can contain errors. Where a widely used answer key differs from the official key we say so on the question. If you find a mistake, tell us at support@prepkar.in with the exam, year and question number; corrections are made in the product, not in private replies.

3. Your account

• You must be 18 or older to hold an account, and you confirm that when you create one.
• An account is personal. One person, one account; do not share sign-in codes or passwords, and tell us if you think someone else has used yours.
• You are responsible for the email address on the account: sign-in codes and account-deletion codes go there and nowhere else.
• What we store and why is in the privacy notice, which is part of these terms.

4. Acceptable use

Use the service for your own preparation. Do not copy the question bank or explanations in bulk, resell or republish them, attack, probe or overload the service, use another person's account, or use the service to break any law. We may suspend or close an account that does any of these; where we can, we will say why.

5. Price

The service is free today and no payment is collected. If a paid plan is ever introduced it will be announced in the product before it starts, with its price, and nothing you already have will be taken away without notice. A "notify me" waitlist is not a purchase and creates no obligation on either side.

6. Saarathi, the AI coach

What Saarathi tells you today is worked out on our own server from your own answers; the parts of it that would need a language model are built and switched off, and the privacy notice says what would change if we switch them on. Either way it is an opinion about how to study, produced by software; it can be wrong, and it is not advice about any exam's rules, eligibility or strategy in a way you should rely on without checking. Report anything wrong or inappropriate to support@prepkar.in.

7. Answers you send by email

Where email marking is open for your account, you can email photographs or a scan of your handwritten Mains answers to mains@prepkar.in. We reply to the address they came from with a link that signs you in, and if that address has no account we make one for it. Signing in while those pages are waiting, by that link or in any other way, is how you ask us to mark them: it confirms that you are 18 or older, that you accept these terms and the privacy notice, and that you agree to the marking notice printed in our reply and on the sign-in page. The marking then starts, with no further step. If you send them from the address of an account that has already signed in to PrepKar, sending them is itself that request, on the same terms and notice: the marking starts when they arrive, and our reply says so instead of sending a sign-in link. Otherwise, until you sign in, nothing marks your pages, and if nobody signs in within 14 days we delete them. Send only answers you wrote yourself. We keep a record of when you agreed, to which version of these terms and of the notice, and how. You can delete an emailed paper, its pages and its marking from its page at any time, and you can withdraw your agreement to having answers marked by writing to support@prepkar.in.

8. Availability and liability

The service is provided as it is. We work to keep it up and correct, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, error-free content, or any examination outcome, and we are not liable for a loss that follows from relying on it — to the extent Indian law allows us to say so. Nothing here limits a right you have under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 or the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

9. Ending the agreement

You end it by deleting your account — from your profile while signed in, or at /account/delete from any browser without signing in. Deletion is immediate and cannot be undone. We end it by closing an account under section 4, or by shutting the service down, in which case we will give notice in the product and you will be able to ask us for a copy of your data first.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Any dispute that cannot be settled by talking to us is subject to the courts in India.

11. Changes

The version and date at the top change whenever these terms change materially, and we will tell you in the product before a change that affects you takes effect. Continuing to use the service after that date is acceptance of the new version.
