Free UPSC mock test — ranked, every week

One paper. Everybody sits it in the same window. Your rank is against every other aspirant who took it, not an estimate.

What the paper is

Every week ProjectsPilot publishes one ranked mock test and opens it to everybody with an account. It is a real paper, not a sampler: a timed multiple-choice paper under UPSC Prelims marking, sat inside a fixed window, one attempt per person.

It costs nothing and it never touches your plan's monthly mock quota — signing in is the whole price of entry. Papers usually run on Saturday, but the window is set per paper, so the date in the panel above is the one that counts.

What kind of paper it is

It reads like the real thing. Part of every paper is the week just gone — the current affairs an examiner would actually reach for — and the rest is General Studies from across the syllabus, so a week of news alone is not enough to clear it. Every question is tied to something real; nothing is set from thin air.

The standard is the standard: pitched against genuine UPSC Prelims papers, not against a vague idea of difficulty. Every question, option and explanation comes in English and Hindi with the option order identical in both, and where the answer traces back to a story, a topic or a reading, the review links you straight to it.

What you get when results reveal

Answers, explanations and ranks unlock together at the reveal time and are visible to nobody before it — not in the paper, not in the submit confirmation. That is what makes the rank worth having across the whole window.

At reveal you get your rank across the entire cohort, a real percentile (the share of people you actually beat, not an accuracy formula), a per-topic breakdown of your attempt, and next steps crossed against the topics you have already marked covered — revise what is slipping, start what you have not touched.
