Frequently asked questions

Yes, completely. Every exam page, every guide and every tool is free, with no account, no sign up and no paywall. There is nothing to unlock and no premium tier holding back the useful parts. The site is funded by advertising, which is why you will see ad slots on some pages, and by anyone who chooses to support it through the link in the footer.

No. Nothing on this site requires an account, and there is no login. The exam finder, the calculators and the photo tools all run without identifying you, and none of them store what you enter. If you want to keep a page, bookmark it in your browser.

Every date, fee and figure carries the source it came from and the date it was last checked, both shown on the page. Anything not yet confirmed by an official notice is marked as not yet announced rather than filled in with a guess. Recruitment bodies change dates at short notice, so treat this site as a detailed starting point and confirm anything you are about to act on against the official notice, which is linked from every exam page.

No. The image tools run entirely inside your browser using the Canvas API, so your photograph and signature never leave your device and are never sent to any server. Nothing is stored, nothing is logged, and closing the tab discards everything. That is also why the tools keep working if your connection drops mid task.

The focus is India, covering national bodies such as UPSC, SSC, IBPS, RRB and the defence services, alongside state public service commissions, state police boards and teaching eligibility tests. Coverage of the United States and United Kingdom is lighter and growing. Exams are added continuously, and each one is only given its own page once there is enough verified detail to make that page genuinely useful.

No. Government Exams Wiki is an independent project with no connection to any government department, recruitment agency, examination board or coaching institute. It does not sell courses, test series or coaching, and it cannot help with an application, a result or a grievance. For anything official you need the conducting body itself, which is linked from every exam page.

Several major recruitment streams accept candidates whose highest qualification is class 12, including SSC CHSL, SSC GD Constable, various railway recruitment grades, defence entries such as NDA, and many state police constable roles. The exact list depends on your age, your state and in some cases your stream, which is what the finder on the homepage is for: set your qualification and it shows only the exams open to you.

Yes. The site is published in English, Hindi and Bengali, with more Indian languages being added. Use the language control in the header to switch, and the page you are on stays the same. Translation is done page by page rather than all at once, so a language menu will only offer a language where that page genuinely exists in it.

Check the exam schedule page rather than a guess: it lists every exam day, admit card release, result and application deadline that is actually scheduled today, tomorrow and in the next 7 days, built from each exam's own sourced schedule. Recruitment bodies run independent calendars, so there is rarely a single answer, and a day with no event shows that honestly instead of leaving the question unanswered.

No recruitment body publishes a difficulty ranking, so treat any list claiming one "easiest exam" with suspicion. What you can compare honestly is structure: how many stages an exam has, whether it includes an interview, how heavily wrong answers are penalised, and how advanced the syllabus is. Exams with fewer stages and no interview are generally less demanding to clear, which is covered in detail on the easiest government exams guide.
