MentorAID Connect

MentorAID Connect helps UPSC learners find mentors, book support, and get their answer copies evaluated.

Mentorship for competitive exams is deeply personal work. Learners need to find the right mentor, understand how they can help, and then keep a steady rhythm of sessions and feedback.

Before a dedicated platform, that coordination lives across calls, messages and manual scheduling — which makes it hard for learners to discover mentors and hard for mentors to run their practice.

Discovery, booking, payment and evaluation were separate steps with no single place to move through them.

Copy evaluation — a learner submitting written answers and receiving structured feedback — needed a clear flow of its own, not an email thread.

The experience had to stay simple for learners who are focused on studying, not on operating software.

We built a connected platform where each part hands off cleanly to the next — discovery leads to a profile, a profile leads to a booking, and evaluation runs as its own tracked flow.

Mentor discovery

A way for learners to browse and find mentors that suit their needs, rather than asking around.

Mentor profiles

Each mentor has a clear profile so learners understand who they are and how they can help before booking.

Booking flow

A straightforward path from choosing a mentor to confirming a session, with the steps in a sensible order.

Copy evaluation

A dedicated flow for submitting answer copies and receiving structured feedback, tracked from submission to response.

Dashboard

A place for learners to see their bookings, evaluations and ongoing support in one view.

Supporting experience

The surrounding pages and trust elements that make a first-time learner comfortable enough to start.

• One workflow, not four tools

  Discovery, booking, payment and evaluation were designed as a single path so a learner never has to leave to complete a step.

• Evaluation as a first-class flow

  Copy evaluation was treated as its own tracked process with clear states, rather than an informal exchange.

• Calm for the learner

  The interface stays quiet and focused, keeping attention on studying rather than on the software.

• When steps are connected, learners complete them — the drop-off is usually between tools, not within them.
• A support product succeeds when it disappears into the background of the work it supports.
• Treating evaluation as a tracked flow, with clear states, builds trust on both sides.
