FAQ

Questions about defence exam evaluation

How is NDA English evaluation different from UPSC evaluation?

Yes. Select CDS English from the dropdown. Dharoha evaluates precis for word count compliance, information retention, sentence clarity, and appropriateness for the CDS marking style.
What word limit should I use for CAPF essays?
CAPF essays are typically 600–700 words for the 80-mark essay section. Set this in the word limit field when evaluating.
