Questions

Can I pay with UPI?

Yes — UPI and UPI Autopay for subscriptions, plus all major cards. Powered by Razorpay.

Nothing but the length. Both unlock the entire site. Quarterly covers a typical interview-prep cycle and works out to ₹333 a month.

Can I cancel?

Anytime, in one click. You keep access until the end of what you’ve paid for.

Refunds?

If the first week doesn’t work out, write to us within 7 days and we’ll refund it — no questions asked. See the refund policy.
