Q: How is Dharoha different from other UPSC answer writing tools?

Unlike generic AI tools, Dharoha is built specifically for Indian competitive exams.

It gives paragraph-level feedback (not generic comments), tracks your progress over time, and compares your performance to what a top-20 ranker would write.

What aspirants say

UPSC 2024 — GS2: 108 to 134

“The paragraph-level feedback showed me exactly which sentences were vague. My coaching institute mentor never gave this level of detail in their evaluations.”

Arjun MehtaUPSC 2024 Rank 47, Delhi

UPPSC 2024 — Score +31 marks

“I was preparing for UPPSC and the state-specific feedback was a revelation. It told me I was writing generic UPSC answers when UPPSC wants UP-specific governance examples.”

Priya SharmaUPPSC PCS 2024, Lucknow

Hindi Medium — UPSC Mains

“Hindi medium mein likhne par mujhe lagta tha feedback nahi milegi. Dharoha ne Hindi mein likha uttar padhkar poori detail mein English mein feedback di. Bahut upyogi hai.”
