Terms and conditions

Last updated: October 2026

These terms govern your use of https://upscprep.in (the “Site”), operated by UPSCPrep.in (“we”, “us”). By creating an account, buying a plan or simply browsing the Site, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy policy and Refund policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

1. No affiliation with UPSC or the Government

UPSCPrep.in is an independent private educational service. We are not affiliated with, authorised by or connected to the Union Public Service Commission, the Government of India or any State Government or public body. Using the Site does not guarantee selection in any examination. For official information, always refer to upsc.gov.in.

2. Accounts

  • You must give accurate information when you register and keep your password confidential.
  • One account is for one person. Membership is personal and must not be shared, resold or used by more than one person. We may suspend accounts that show signs of sharing or automated access.
  • You are responsible for all activity under your account. Tell us immediately at support@upscprep.in if you suspect unauthorised use.

3. Plans and payments

  • Prices are shown in Indian Rupees (₹) and include applicable taxes unless stated otherwise.
  • Payments are processed through RBI-authorised Indian payment gateways (such as Razorpay or PayU) using UPI, cards, net banking or wallets. We do not see or store your card or bank details.
  • Premium gives access to the features listed on the pricing page for the stated period. Access ends automatically when the period ends unless you buy again.
  • We may change prices or plan contents for future purchases; this will not reduce what you have already paid for during your current period.
  • Premium can be refunded within 24 hours of purchase with no questions asked, because it is digital content available instantly; see our Refund policy.

4. Use of content

All lessons, notes, questions, explanations, images, maps, diagrams, videos and software on the Site are owned by us or used under licence, and are protected by the Copyright Act, 1957. You may use them only for your own personal, non-commercial study. You must not copy, scrape, download in bulk, republish, sell, or share premium content, or use it to train or build another product, without our written permission. Previous year question papers are the property of their respective authority and are reproduced for educational reference.

5. Forum and user content rules

When you post in the forum or submit an error report, you keep ownership of your words but give us a free, non-exclusive licence to display, edit for formatting and moderate them on the Site. You agree not to post anything that:

  • is abusive, hateful, obscene, defamatory, harassing or threatening, or targets anyone’s religion, caste, gender, region or community;
  • infringes copyright, for example uploading paid coaching material or copied answer copies;
  • is spam, advertising, referral links or promotion of other coaching services without permission;
  • shares personal data of others, exam leaks, or unlawful content under the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the IT (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021;
  • impersonates any person, official or body.

We may edit, hide or remove posts and suspend or close accounts that break these rules, with or without notice. Complaints about user content can be sent to our Grievance Officer at support@upscprep.in.

6. Content accuracy

We prepare our content carefully, but it is provided for educational purposes “as is”. It may contain errors or become outdated as laws, schemes and data change. Please verify important facts with official sources. If you spot a mistake, use the “Report an error on this page” button found on every page, or the report link on any question, so that we can review and correct it. We are not responsible for any loss arising from reliance on the content.

7. Acceptable use

You must not try to break, overload or gain unauthorised access to the Site, use bots or scrapers, bypass the payment system, or use the Site for any unlawful purpose.

8. Advertising and third-party links

Pages shown to visitors without an account and to free accounts display ads (including Google AdSense); Premium is ad-free. Ads and links to other websites may appear. We do not control third-party sites or ads and are not responsible for their content or practices.

9. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, exam results, or interruptions to the Site. Our total liability for any claim relating to a paid plan is limited to the amount you paid for that plan.

10. Changes and termination

We may update these terms; the latest version will always be on this page. You may stop using the Site and ask us to close your account at any time. We may suspend or end access if you breach these terms.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Any dispute will be subject to the jurisdiction of the competent courts in India, after we have first tried to resolve it with you in good faith by email.
