The app developed by a team of IITians took the exam in a public setting on Sunday, right after the UPSC preliminary exam in the presence of guests from the education sector, the UPSC community, and media professionals at Delhi's The Lalit hotel.

It took under seven minutes to solve the entire paper, the release said.

The event was live-streamed at livestream.padhai.ai and YouTube, where the questions and answers are publicly available, it added.

The AI's answers were also compared with broad AI models commercially available from big tech companies such as OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google by using answer keys released by top coaching institutes.
