How it works

01

Read the paper

Read the newspaper yourself. The exam tests your analysis, and that is a skill nobody can hand you in a summary.

02

Attempt the questions

A few questions across subjects, written from the day's news, the way the exam actually asks them.

03

Learn from the explanation

Not just the answer: the reasoning, in your faculty's own voice.

Why this, not another app

One teacher, not a content farm

Every question and every explanation is written by Piyush, not assembled by a team you will never meet.

A few questions, not five hundred

We would rather you understand one day fully than skim a month of bullet points.

Explanations in a real voice

The reasoning is written the way a teacher would say it across a desk, not as a bullet list.

Calm, and free

No countdown timers, no upsells, no leaderboards. Just the day’s practice, every morning.

Who's behind it

Piyush Gambhir · UPSC faculty, Economics

It's just me, reading the morning papers and writing the questions I'd want my own students to sit with. A little over a decade of teaching, and no army of faculty behind a brand name.
