Everything a PDF site can't do
craqdIAS is a full online practice platform for UPSC Prelims PYQs (2013–2025). Here's everything you get — timed exams, real UPSC marking, subject drilling, analytics, trend charts, guest mode, and PDF exports. All free.
No sign-up needed · Works in your browser
Solve papers online, not just download them
Every paper from 2013 to 2025 is a full interactive mock test. Live countdown timer, exam-like interface, question navigator, mark-for-review, and auto-submit when time expires. This is the core experience — PDF downloads are a secondary feature.
Authentic UPSC marking, not simplified scoring
The exam interface uses the real UPSC Prelims marking scheme: +2 for each correct answer, −0.66 for each incorrect answer (negative marking), and 0 for unattempted. Identical to the actual UPSC Civil Services Preliminary Examination — not a watered-down correctness score.
Subject-wise practice across all 13 years
Drill any of 8 subjects — History, Polity, Geography, Economy, Environment, Science & Technology, Art & Culture, Current Affairs — with questions pooled from every year (2013–2025). Configurable: random or sequential order, specific question count, and an optional rapid-fire mode for speed practice.
Per-question timing analytics
Most platforms show total time. craqdIAS records seconds spent on every question, plus how many times you revisited it. See exactly where you lose time and build pacing skills that matter on exam day.
Trend charts across attempts
Line charts showing accuracy trends and speed trends over time. Subject-wise strength/weakness identification with trend indicators (improving, stable, declining). Compare your accuracy against UPSC selection-worthy targets, automatically highlighted per subject.
Question-by-question review with explanations
After every exam, review every question with the correct answer, your response, and a detailed explanation of the correct reasoning. Filter by status (answered, unanswered, marked for review). All available without signing up — detailed explanations unlock with a free account.
Guest mode — try without signing up
Attempt full papers immediately. No account, no email, no credit card. Your progress is stored in browser localStorage and auto-upgrades to your account when you sign up. Sign-up is optional — only needed to sync progress across devices and unlock trend analytics.
Report card with exportable PDFs
A dedicated report card page aggregates every attempt across subjects and full exams. Download PDF reports of your mistakes (with explanations), a full exam report, or a subject-wise breakdown with trend charts included.
Resume interrupted exams
Paper state persists across browser reloads via sessionStorage. If you close the tab mid-exam, you can resume where you left off — answers, timer, marks-for-review, and question progress all preserved.
