It is the online practice and study-plan platform run by Defence Mania, the AFCAT, CDS, NDA and SSB coaching academy. You sit one diagnostic paper, get a result that shows exactly where your marks went, and work through a 58-day schedule built around it.

AFCAT, CDS and NDA. Each has its own 58-day schedule and its own papers. Coaching for SSB, CAPF, ACC and Territorial Army is run separately by Defence Mania on defencemania.com.

Yes, and no. Every account gets three days free, once, and no card is asked for. The trial starts by itself the first time you open a study day, so there is nothing to activate.

Days four onwards stay closed until you buy access. Nothing renews automatically and nothing is charged without you choosing to pay, because there is no card on file to charge.

One payment covers all 58 days, every mock paper and every topic test. An early-bird price is offered to the first hundred purchases for each examination, after which the regular price applies. The current figure is always shown on the pricing page.

No. Once you have access, all 58 days are open at once. The order is the one we would teach in, not a lock: work ahead, go back, or follow your weak-topic list instead.

It is a full-length paper sat before you study, so the result describes where you actually are rather than where you hope to be. Every later report is measured against it.

From the questions you answered, topic by topic. Each topic is placed in one of six bands by accuracy, from critical to mastered, and the weakest are given the largest share of your revision time. A topic you have answered fewer than four questions on is shown with its numbers but no verdict, because two lucky answers are not mastery.

No, and that is deliberate. The 58-day schedule is the course and it stays put, so day 12 means the same thing in week six as it did in week one. What changes is a separate revision list, ordered worst-first, which sits alongside the schedule and points back into the days that teach each topic.

Yes. Full-length mock papers and every topic test are part of paid access. The free trial includes limited practice rather than the full set.

It is not meant to. It is the practice, testing and scheduling half. Defence Mania runs live and offline coaching, including the Gurukul offline batch, and many students use both.
