  • They can be completed off-line, thus economising on internet availability too.
  • The app will make available practice tests on smartphones or computers for all students in India irrespective of their level of access to devices and quality of the network.
  • The app also has an offline mode where students, on downloading the mock tests, can attempt the test without the internet. The app works on Android-based smartphones and tablets and can be downloaded from Google Play Store. The app will be soon available on iOS.
