AI app scores 170/200 in UPSC prelims

PadhAI app.

PadhAI, an Artificial Intelligence-based app has scored 170 marks out of 200, solving the 2024 UPSC preliminary exam question paper in just 7 minutes. The test was conducted on Sunday night.

The app developed by a team of IITians took the exam in a public setting right after the UPSC preliminary exam in the presence of guests from the education sector, the UPSC community, and media professionals at Delhi's The Lalit Hotel.

This score is above the general score which usually remains under 100.

The score places PadhAI's score in the top 10 nationally, if not rank 1, an official release said.

The event was live-streamed at livestream.padhai.ai and YouTube, where the questions and answers are publicly available, it added.

The AI's answers were also compared with broad AI models commercially available from big tech companies such as OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google by using answer keys released by top coaching institutes.

PadhAI's CEO Karttikeya Mangalam said, "This is the highest score in the last 10 years of UPSC exams. We believe that while our event is first of its kind, in a few years, it will become commonplace as several educational institutions race to solve papers quickly and precisely with AIs".

PadhAI is an AI X Education app for UPSC preparation available on the Google Play Store.

It claims to offer several AI features, including news summaries, smart PYQ search, doubt clarification, interactive answer explanations, and book summaries.
