For making preparation easy for the Civil Service aspirants, a start-up incubated by the IIT-Madras has launched smart test series. The algorithm, developed by ExcelOn Academy provides analysis of strong and weak areas based on candidates’ test performance

The startup, ExcelOn Academy, provides around 4,200 UPSC-level questions and three levels of analysis, free of cost for 20 candidates from economically weaker backgrounds. It also offers four tests covering static, current affairs and CSAT, along with its three levels of test analysis, free of cost to all UPSC aspirants.

According the ExcelOn, Over 5,000 aspirants have been using its services for their preparations from upcoming prelims exams.

It also adds, “The series does not provide generic feedback such as ‘you need to improve in Polity’, instead it provides the aspirant with specific colour-coded (red, yellow, green) feedback such as “You are weak in Fundamental rights, Union executive,’ ‘average in Judiciary’ and ‘strong in centre-State relations’.

Interestingly, for each incorrect and un-attempted questions, it refers the chapter number that needs to be studied by the test taker, making selective revision possible. With only a few months left for UPSC CSE prelims 2021, consolidation and selective revision is the key to success.

ExcelOn Academy has been co-founded by T Uday Kumar, an IIT Madras alumnus who cleared UPSC Indian Engineering Service in 2000 in his first attempt, and Muthu Kumar Raju, a US-based tech entrepreneur specialising in building technology platforms for start-ups and aspiring businesses.
