How it works

Read a syllabus, visually.

A two-minute walkthrough on how to navigate and expand a mindmap — and how to make these maps part of a daily revision habit.

Three ways to use the platform

01

Browse by subject

Pick a subject from the rail; every mindmap is tagged to a topic and stage (Pre / Mains / Both) so you can plan ahead.

02

Expand any node

Tap a node to open sub-branches with definitions, articles and PYQ links. Collapse to zoom out.

03

Download & revise

PNG and PDF downloads, print-ready and offline-friendly, are coming soon. Bilingual: every map ships in EN and हिन्दी.

Tips for getting the most out of it

  • 1Start broad, drill in. Use the subject overview map first; treat every leaf as a topic to revisit when you have 10 spare minutes.
  • 2Pair with PYQs. Every PYQ-tagged map shows which prelims/mains question it answers — revise the map, then attempt the question.
  • 3Switch languages. Toggle EN ↔ हिन्दी from the top bar; the same map renders in either script for revision balance.
  • 4Save what you re-open. Bookmarks for the maps you re-open are coming soon.
  • 5Suggest gaps. Spot a missing topic? Hit "Suggest a Topic" from any page — these requests drive what we build next.
