Become a Founding Member
Pariksha360 is in closed Beta, and we're looking for aspirants who will actually study on it — and tell us what's broken. Do that for a fortnight and you become a Founding Member: a year of Pro, free, plus the badge and a standing discount after that.
What you get
One counter, two marks on it. Inside your first 30 days, build a streak of active days.
Credited automatically when your account is created. Nothing to claim, no card, no code.
Ten consecutive active days inside your 30-day window — and five days from the finish.
Fifteen consecutive active days inside your window. A year of Pro free, the ★ FOUNDING MEMBER badge on your profile, and a standing discount on Pro after that.
100 seats onlyWhy consecutive days? Because that's what preparation actually looks like, and it's the only way the app can do its job. Fifteen days in, it has enough of your answers to tell you where your marks are going, what to revise today, and roughly where you'd land against the cutoff. A fortnight of daily practice is worth more to your score than a month of scattered evenings — we're rewarding the thing that works.
And it's the only way we learn what's wrong with it. An install that never gets opened tells us nothing. Fifteen days of real use from someone actually preparing turns up the rough edges no amount of internal testing finds — which is why a good bug report is the most useful thing you can send us.
Install it — about two minutes
One thing decides whether any of this works: do every step below signed into the same Google account that's signed into the Play Store on the phone you'll install on. Play matches the tester list against that account and nothing else. A different Google account, or a non-Google email, hits a "this app isn't available for your account" wall no matter how many times you retry.
Join the testers group
Open the Pariksha360 Google Group and tap Join group. Anyone can join — no approval, no waiting.
This group is the tester list, so it's also where beta announcements land and where you can ask questions.
Become a tester on Play
Open the tester opt-in link and tap Become a tester.
Don't skip this. Joining the group only makes you eligible — Play doesn't count you as a tester until you accept here. This is the step people miss.
If it says you aren't eligible, wait a few minutes and reload. Play takes a little while to notice a new group member.
Install from Play
The same page then shows a Download it on Google Play link. Install as normal, or go straight to the Play Store listing. Updates arrive automatically after that.
Open it and sign in with Google
Use that same account. Your Pariksha360 account is created on first sign-in and your 60 days of Pro are credited right then — there's nothing to set up beforehand.
Start with step 1 — join the group →
Then just prepare — and tell us what’s broken
There’s no testing homework and no quota. Study the way you would anyway: daily practice, mock tests, current affairs.
The one thing we’d genuinely ask is that you tell us when something breaks or feels wrong — a wrong answer key, a confusing explanation, a screen that won’t load, a translation that reads badly. Settings → Report a problem sends it straight to us from anywhere in the app, and there’s a report button on questions and flashcards too. Or just say it in the group.
It isn’t a condition of anything. It’s simply the most useful thing you can do for us — and for everyone who uses the app after you.
The rules, precisely
So there is no argument later, this is exactly what we check and how.
- Your window is the 30 days from the day you create your account — the same day your free trial starts.
- An “active day” is a day you spent at least 10 minutes in the app. It’s a daily total, so three short sessions add up; you don’t have to do it in one sitting.
- “In a row” means in a row. Miss a day and the run restarts at zero. You can start a new run immediately — nothing is held against you — but the days have to be consecutive.
- The run must finish inside your window. Once it has, the reward is yours permanently; the window closing afterwards takes nothing back.
- One phone, one account. You can log out and back in as often as you like, but only the first Pariksha360 account registered on a phone is eligible. A second account on that same phone can use the app normally — it just can’t earn these perks.
- Your own second device is fine. A phone and a tablet on the same account costs you nothing.
- Stay opted in. Leaving the Google Group or leaving the test on Play ends your participation, and no perks are awarded.
- The 100 seats go to the first 100 people to complete a 15-day run, in the order they complete it.
FAQ — qualifying
Can I see my own progress?
Yes — it’s on the Home screen in the app. It shows your current run, how many days are left in your window, whether today has counted yet, and how many Founding Member seats remain. You don’t need to ask us or keep your own count.
I joined the group a week ago but only signed up today. When does my window start?
Today. The window runs from your account’s creation, which is also when your 60 days of Pro begin.
Do I have to use the app every single day?
For the run, yes — that’s what “in a row” means, and it’s the whole difficulty. A missed day sends the current run back to zero. You can start again the next day, as many times as your 30-day window allows.
I uninstalled and reinstalled. Did I break my run?
It resets your streak. Reinstalling wipes the app’s local data and usually costs you a day, and a missed day restarts the run. Your account, your history and any Pro you’ve earned are all safe on our servers — but the run starts again. Please don’t reinstall while you’re going for a seat.
Can my brother use my account, or make his own on my phone?
He can use the app on your phone — log out, log in, as often as you both like. But only the first account registered on that phone is eligible for the perks, so a second account there can’t earn them. If he wants a seat of his own, he should install it on his own phone.
What if I leave the Google Group?
Then there are no perks. The group is the Play tester list — leaving it, or leaving the test on Play, removes you from the closed test and ends your participation. Stay in both until your run is done.
I didn’t study for a week. Have I lost it?
Only that run. Inactivity never disqualifies you and nothing is held against you — start a new run whenever you like, as long as your 30-day window is still open.
What if more than 100 people qualify?
Founding Member goes to the first 100 to complete a 15-day run. Everyone else who completed a 10-day run still gets the 6 months.
When do the rewards actually appear?
They’re applied by hand once your run completes, so allow a few days. You don’t need to claim anything or send us a message.
Does the 6-month top-up replace my 60-day trial?
No, it extends it. Time already on your account isn’t thrown away, and the same is true of the year.
Why a year and not longer?
Because we’d rather promise something we can keep. A year outlasts the exam cycle you’re preparing for, and Founding Members keep the badge and a standing discount on Pro afterwards — we’re not planning to charge the people who got us here full price.
Can Founding Member be taken away later?
No. Once it’s on your account it stays. The only exception is fraud — duplicate or shared accounts don’t qualify in the first place.
FAQ — the app
What do I actually get with Pro?
The full engine: adaptive daily practice, mock tests with a predicted score against the cutoff, per-topic analytics showing where your marks are going, spaced revision, and current affairs.
Which exams are covered?
BSSC CGL is complete and is what the app is built around. SSC CGL is available as a preview while we finish its content. BSSC Inter Level is coming.
Is the app in Hindi?
The content is — questions, explanations, flashcards and current affairs all come in Hindi, and you pick your content language in Settings. The app’s own menus and buttons are still English while we finish translating them. This website is in both.
Is it really free? What’s the catch?
No card, no code, no trial that quietly starts charging. We aren’t accepting payments at all during the Beta. The catch is the one stated at the top: the large reward is for people who genuinely test.
Android only?
Yes, for the Beta. Distribution is through Google Play Closed Testing.
Does it work without internet?
Partly — but you need a connection to sync your progress, and your progress is what everything else is built on. Treat it as an online app.
What data do you collect, and can I delete my account?
See the Privacy Policy. You can delete your account and its data from inside the app at any time.
What happens on 2 October 2026?
That’s the last day to join the closed Beta as a tester. If you’re already in, nothing changes — your window runs its course and Pariksha360 moves to public listing around the same time. Your account, your study history and whatever Pro you’ve earned all carry over. Nothing resets, and you don’t reinstall.
FAQ — when something goes wrong
Play says “this app isn’t available for your account”.
Almost always the wrong Google account. Check which account the Play Store app itself is signed into on that phone, and make sure that exact account is the one in the group and the one that accepted the opt-in.
The opt-in page says I’m not eligible.
Wait a few minutes and reload — Play takes a little while to register a new group member. If it’s still refusing after an hour, the account mismatch above is the likely cause.
I signed up with the wrong Google account.
Sign up again with the right one and tell us in the group. Note that the first account registered on the phone is the eligible one, so tell us early rather than at the end.
I’m not getting updates.
Check you’re still in the group and still opted in on Play. Being removed from either stops updates.
None of this is working.
Email [email protected] or ask in the Telegram discussion group — real students and the Pariksha360 team both answer there.
