OFFICERS TIME

Wednesday, 23 September 2026 Independent · Not a government publication Akshay Kotish & Co.

The exam is a gate

This is about the work behind it.

A study app for people preparing for government service, and a reference for people already in it.

Most preparation stops at the result. Officers Time is built around what the work asks of a person after it: deciding with incomplete facts, knowing what to do first when everything is urgent, recalling the provision without reaching for the book, and catching the one line in a file that is wrong.

It writes a fresh set of general studies questions every night, so the practice never repeats. It keeps the UPSC syllabus and a library of the statutes an officer cites within reach. And it lists the recruitment notifications that are open, sorted by what closes first.

The Officers Time home screen, laid out as a newspaper front page with a standing notice, the duty manual and the day’s dispatch.
The front page The app opens the way a paper does — the standing notice first, then the duty manual, the rule director, and the day’s dispatch, rotated through a different Indian language each day.

The departments

Six

Jobs

Every open notification, soonest deadline first. Track one and be reminded a week, three days and one day before it closes, and again on the morning it does. Every entry links to the official notification.

The Arena

Fifty-six short drills built around what the work actually uses: judgement, priority, law, numbers, reasoning, memory, attention, ethics and language. Every answer comes with its reason, not just a verdict.

Study

The UPSC syllabus as a tracker — sixty Prelims topics across eight subjects, and sixty-two for Mains, loaded on first run, with a log of what you have covered and what is left.

The Desk

Put a situation to it the way you would put it to a senior officer. Answers are grounded in live search and cite their sources. They are AI-generated, and they are not legal advice.

Rules

Describe a case and get the governing law, the procedure, the risks, and cases like it — drawn from forty-two Indian statutes across twelve domains, from criminal and service conduct to revenue, railway and welfare.

Duty

Twelve chapters on what the job asks of a person, including the arithmetic of an honest career: why the shortcut pays once and the long road pays for a lifetime.

Where the notifications come from

Read once a day

This app carries no government feed and is connected to no government system. Our software reads the sites above once a day and takes the post, the closing date and the link. No entry is published without that official link, and every entry in the app opens it. Because collection is automatic the list can be incomplete or out of date — the recruiting body’s own website is always the authority.

Train for the work, not just the exam.

Free on iPhone, iPad and Android.
