For colleges & universities · Karnataka

A UPSC scholarship exam on your campus, at no cost to the institution.

We bring a paper made entirely of real UPSC past questions and run it in one of your halls. Every student who sits gets a personal diagnostic report. Your department gets a cohort report. The top scorers win scholarships.

You provide a room, a date, and students. That is the whole ask.

What VEDIK is

The syllabus, weighted by what the exam has actually asked

We have taken 12 years of UPSC papers, mapped every question onto the official syllabus, and weighted each topic by the marks it has actually carried. We make no claim to predict the paper. What we claim is narrower and checkable: every percentage we show opens to the exact past questions behind it, and every textbook passage we quote is cited to its book, chapter and page.

The scholarship exam

Every question has been asked before

The paper is drawn entirely from real UPSC Prelims and CSAT papers — we hold 1,431 past questions with verified answer keys. We do not write mock questions and we do not let a machine invent them. Each question on a student's report is labelled with the year it was asked.

It is a written paper, sat under invigilation in a hall. No computers, no internet, and no requirement for students to own a device.

What the institution provides

  • A hall or classroom for roughly two hours
  • A date that suits your academic calendar
  • Permission to inform interested students
  • A faculty observer, if your policy requires one

No fee of any kind. Not from the institution, and not from the students who sit.

What we provide

  • The question paper and answer sheets, printed and brought to campus
  • Invigilation support on the day
  • Scoring under UPSC marking, including negative marking
  • A personal diagnostic report for every student who sits — not a rank, but which syllabus areas cost them marks, how much those areas have actually been worth across 12 years of papers, and the exact questions they missed
  • A cohort report for the department, by syllabus area
  • Results within 10 working days of the sitting

What students get

Nobody leaves with nothing

Every student who sits receives the full diagnostic report and free access to VEDIK while it is in beta, whatever they score. For most of them this is the first honest measurement they have had of where they actually stand against the real paper.

  • The top 10 across all participating colleges win a VEDIK Scholar place — a year of the programme, including a weekly live session and a personal review of their preparation, worth ₹69,999
  • The top 3 at each college receive 50% off the full year

What the department gets

  • A cohort report showing how your students perform by syllabus area
  • Named scholarship winners you can cite in placement and NAAC documentation
  • A civil-services activity on record, at no cost to the department budget

Student data

Handled under the DPDP Act, and stated in writing

  • Students register themselves and give explicit, recorded consent — we never take a contact list from the institution
  • We collect only what the exam needs: name, email, mobile, college, year of study, and target attempt
  • Category is optional and defaults to “prefer not to say”; where given it is used only to work out attempts remaining, and never affects a score or an award
  • Nothing is sold, and nothing is passed to third parties. Any student may ask us to delete their data at any time

Where we are, stated plainly

We would rather you heard this from us

Solid

The past-paper corpus, the answer keys, the syllabus weighting and the source-cited explanations are built, checked, and open to inspection. The scholarship exam rests entirely on these.

Still being built

VEDIK is an early-stage product in free beta. Its guided lessons cover a small number of topics so far and are being written out steadily. Where a topic has no verified source behind it, the app says so rather than filling the gap with something generated.

Questions we are usually asked

What does this cost the institution?

Nothing. There is no fee, no minimum commitment, and no purchase obligation for the college or for any student.

How much class time does it take?

About two hours for the sitting, plus a short briefing beforehand. We can run it outside teaching hours or on a Saturday if that is easier.

Do students need laptops or internet?

No. It is a printed paper answered by hand. Students collect their diagnostic report afterwards through a personal link, which works on any phone.

How many students do we need?

There is no minimum that makes it not worth doing. Thirty is a comfortable size; we can handle several hundred with enough notice.

Who invigilates?

We bring our own team and follow your invigilation norms. Faculty are welcome to observe, and many institutions prefer to appoint an observer.

When do results come back?

Within 10 working days of the sitting — the individual diagnostics and the department's cohort report together.

Is this a recruitment exercise for a paid course?

No. Every student who sits keeps the diagnostic and free beta access regardless of score, and the scholarships are awarded on the paper alone.

Tell us a window that suits your calendar

We will work to your dates, not ours. Nothing here commits the institution to anything — it starts a conversation, and we reply within two working days.

Only so we can confirm a date quickly.
An estimate is fine — “not sure yet” is also an answer.

This form collects your institution's contact details only — never a student contact list. We use them to reply about running the exam, and nothing else.
