Why Patauna exists
More than 10 lakh aspirants write Prelims every year. Around a thousand make the final list. The difference is rarely talent — it's direction.
Patauna gives every aspirant what toppers pay for — a plan, honest feedback and a mentor — for the price of a phone recharge.
Built for the whole journey
Your preparation, in three moves
Exam year, attempt, hours you can give, your language. Sixty seconds, no essay.
Every morning the app builds your day: current affairs, a quiz, due revisions and one fix for your weakest topic.
After every mock, the mentor shows the one thing costing you marks — and rebuilds next week around it.

LoginWhy we built Patauna
“Too many capable aspirants fall short — not for lack of effort, but for lack of access: a real plan, honest feedback, and a mentor that most simply can't afford. Patauna exists to put that within everyone's reach, in the language they actually think in. This is only the beginning.”
