UPSC Mains answer evaluation, without the week-long wait
Answer writing only improves with feedback, and feedback on handwritten Mains answers usually means a paid test series and a wait of days. By then you have moved on to the next topic.
Proctor AI evaluates a handwritten answer in minutes. It reads your handwriting, checks the answer against the demand of the question and any model answer you attach, and tells you what earned marks and what was missing. It works the same way for State PSC mains.
How it works
- Write the answer by hand: Write it the way you will in the exam hall, to time, then photograph the pages or scan them into one PDF.
- Add the question and any model answer: Attach the question paper. If you have a model answer, a marking scheme or the points the answer should cover, add that too.
- Read the marks and what was missing: You get marks for each answer, the points you covered, the points you missed and where the working went wrong.
What it looks at in a Mains answer
| Part of the answer | What Proctor AI checks |
|---|---|
| Demand of the question | Whether you answered the directive: discuss, critically examine, evaluate, comment |
| Content | The points, examples, data and case law you used, and the standard points you left out |
| Structure | Introduction, body and conclusion, and whether the answer stays within what was asked |
| Diagrams and maps | Reads labelled diagrams, flowcharts and maps drawn in the answer |
| Marks | A mark out of the question's total with the reason, so you can track it across weeks |
What it cannot do
UPSC does not return evaluated Mains answer booklets or publish a marking scheme, so no one outside the Commission can re-mark your actual paper. This is for practice answers, and its marks are an estimate of how a strict evaluator would score them, not a prediction of your Mains score.
Frequently asked questions
Can it evaluate optional subject answers?
Yes. Attach the question and, if you have one, a model answer or the points the answer should cover. It handles humanities optionals as well as technical ones with derivations and numericals.
Can it read answers written in Hindi?
Yes. It reads handwritten Hindi and several other Indian languages, and gives its feedback in the language you ask for.
How many answers can I check for free?
The free plan gives 10 AI gradings a month. One upload of up to 20 pages uses one grading, plus a little for reading the question paper, so you can check several tests a month for free.
