Open-source projects by and for aspirants
Other people have built useful free tools and datasets for Indian exams. This page links to them instead of
copying them, so their authors keep the credit and every project stays under its own license.
Community projects, not official sources. They are listed from their own descriptions (found on
2026-09-27) and have not been reviewed by the hive yet. Check each project's license before reusing its
content. Never treat a community answer as more reliable than the official answer key. Projects that host
coaching institutes' paid material are not listed.
