Terms & conditions
Updated 14 September 2026
Educational practice
Brainstorm is an independent educational tool for adult UPSC and State PCS aspirants aged 18 and above. It is not affiliated with UPSC or a state public service commission. Questions, worked examples and feedback are practice material, not official papers, official marking or predictions of selection. Verify important facts against authoritative sources.
Access and fair use
The current service offers two free sessions per device every 24 hours, with all practice features included. Availability can be affected by maintenance, provider capacity and technical failures. Do not automate requests, circumvent usage restrictions, disrupt the service or submit unlawful content. You remain responsible for the material you submit.
Practice records and feedback
Automated feedback can be incomplete or mistaken. Use your judgement and appropriate study resources. Brainstorming complements syllabus preparation and full timed writing. Save or export important reports; device history is limited to the latest ten sessions and is not guaranteed recoverable after device or browser changes.
Content and sharing
You retain your rights in your own answers. You may use the educational material for personal study and share your downloaded progress card. Do not imply that a practice score is an official result or that the site endorses another service. External resources remain subject to their owners’ terms.
Optional support
Contributions are voluntary and do not purchase a subscription, extra marks or preferential feedback. Check the recipient and amount before confirming a UPI payment. For a mistaken or duplicate contribution, email the transaction reference to hello@upscbrainstorm.com; do not send a PIN or full financial credentials. We will review the issue, subject to the payment provider’s processes. No tax benefit is promised.
Changes and contact
We may update these terms as the service develops and will publish the revised version here. Nothing on this page limits rights that applicable law does not permit us to exclude. Questions can be sent to hello@upscbrainstorm.com.
