Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Assessin
What is Assessin and how does it help with UPSC Mains preparation?
Assessin is an intelligent evaluation platform that scores your handwritten UPSC answers across 7 examiner-grade dimensions — trained on topper answer sheets*. You get a detailed score, specific feedback, model answer, and improvement plan within 30 seconds.
How does the evaluation work? What technology powers Assessin?
Upload a photo of your handwritten answer. Assessin reads it via advanced OCR, evaluates it across 7 UPSC-specific dimensions using frontier language models, and returns detailed scores, feedback, and a model answer. We use a multi-model strategy for speed and reliability.
What is RAG and how does Assessin use it for better accuracy?
RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) searches our curated UPSC knowledge base for relevant content before generating feedback. This ensures model answers, missing points, and suggestions are grounded in factual, exam-relevant information — not generic output.
How is the content curated specifically for UPSC?
Our knowledge base is hand-curated from NCERT-aligned sources, government reports, Economic Survey, and current affairs compilations — constantly updated with latest current affairs. Evaluation rubrics are calibrated against real UPSC topper answer sheets* (publicly available).
