  • Corrected CAT admission downloads to 6–29 November under the 4 November release; the official mock is scheduled from 6 November.
  • Added the older ALP CBAT replacement date of 12 November, third shift, with the separate document rules for postponed-centre and technical-problem candidates.
  • Updated RRB JE to 4,487 vacancies under Corrigendum No. 2, keeping the revised regional rows separate from the overall total.

21 October 2026

Results and exam notices now have their own section

  • Published five result explainers, three answer-key guides and four admit-card, schedule and application updates with official sources, recruitment-cycle details and candidate next steps.
  • Added searchable exam-updates, results and answer-key hubs, matching exam-guide links and an RSS feed. Technician Grade I and III have separate official candidate links; expired NTPC and Group D objection windows are labelled as archives.

21 October 2026

Official exam notices, results and schedule corrections

  • Updated SSC GD with the 12 October CBT result and physical-test shortlist, and SSC MTS/Havaldar with the 7 October additional shortlist and its candidature conditions.
  • Added the SSC CHSL 2026 Tier 1 window of 30 November–31 December from the official schedule. Kept the 7 October CHSL 2025 final result clearly separate from the 2026 recruitment.
  • Updated SBI PO with the published mains shortlist and tentative Phase 3 dates: psychometric test on 31 October and Group Exercise/interviews from 18 November.
  • Added the SBI Clerk special-drive mains date of 29 October, explicitly separated from the regular Junior Associate recruitment.
  • Updated UP Police with the 14 October final selection result and the completed PET window of 1–11 October.
  • Corrected IBPS Clerk mains to 27 December in the official tentative calendar. Confirmed CAT’s limited-edit dates and scheduled 4 November admit-card download, without claiming future downloads are already open.
  • Updated the matching result, admit-card and calendar pages with official source links. Railway updates could not be independently confirmed because the official portals were unavailable during this check.

21 October 2026

Statistics corrections and clearer score comparisons

  • Corrected 10 statistics practice questions, including wrong answer keys, missing correct options and contradictory explanations.
  • Added six original questions and expanded the lessons on tied modes, continuous class boundaries, and population versus sample variance. All 62 statistics questions now have independently calculated answer checks.
  • The SSC CGL score calculator now accepts whole answer counts and lets you select a historical cutoff by year and post list. Removed the unsupported normalisation band and qualification predictions.
  • Restored redirects from old mock-test addresses to their correct exam pages and repaired the check that had blocked automatic analysis publication.
  • The analysis archive now shows dates from 30 September onward. Replaced scrolling shift tables with readable cards, improved text contrast, and added date and shift navigation.

19 October 2026

AdSense review clean-up and content corrections

  • Paused the remaining third-party advertising test and removed all non-AdSense ad scripts while the AdSense application is reviewed.
  • Restored the local ads.txt file for the AdSense publisher and removed the third-party ads.txt redirect.

  • Tightened page metadata, added missing social preview images, and noindexed incomplete exam-analysis pages.

16–18 October 2026

Advertising tests concluded

  • Tested third-party display and sponsored-link formats while evaluating advertising partners. All of those tests are paused as of 19 October 2026.
  • No pop-unders, push notifications, overlays or sponsored-offer links are active.
  • Sign-in, personal progress, forms, calculators and active tests are excluded from advertising.
  • Updated the privacy policy to describe the current AdSense-only application.

15 October 2026

Content depth pass

  • Mock-paper pages now show a paper summary, a section-wise breakdown, an attempt strategy and sample solved questions on the page itself, not only behind the start button.
  • Cutoff, study-plan, mock-index, practice, formula and example pages were expanded with reading guides, worked examples and links to the matching lessons.
  • Added this updates log and a clearer description of how content is checked on the About and Content & corrections pages.

14 October 2026

Login and feedback

11 October 2026

Corrections to shift-analysis wording

  • Corrected claims about how many candidate reviews a shift summary draws on.
  • Search engines are now notified after each update so corrections are picked up sooner.

10 October 2026

Original lessons and quality gates

  • Improved original lessons and added the content transparency notes you see on the About and Content & corrections pages.
  • Shift analyses now withhold a figure when a quality check fails instead of showing a doubtful number, and interview-style reviews are excluded from recalled-question lists.
  • Duplicate routes were consolidated so each topic has a single address.

9 October 2026

Study guides and revision calendar

  • Added practical study guides and a free revision calendar planner.

7 October 2026

More exams and a clean-up of imported papers

  • RRB ALP, RRB JE, SBI Clerk, SBI PO and UP Police exam hubs went live.
  • Fixed garbled characters in imported mock papers.
  • Removed passage text that had been wrongly attached to the last option of 36 SBI PO questions.
  • Two CAT 2025 slots were held back because their explanations followed the source site too closely; they were republished only after the explanations were rewritten in our own words.

6 October 2026

Per-exam tools and automated shift analysis

  • Per-exam syllabus, admit-card, calendar and expected-cutoff pages, plus score, rank, salary and normalisation calculators.
  • Introduced the automated SSC CGL shift-analysis pipeline with transparent Pending / Partial / Reported labels.

4–5 October 2026

Previous-year papers for ten exams

  • Added previous-year practice papers across ten exams, with worked solutions.
  • Expanded from a single exam to a multi-exam site.

28–30 September 2026
