# How to get your essay or UPSC Mains answer checked free

Shishya's descriptive answer check at shishya.in/descriptive scores an essay, formal letter, précis or UPSC Mains answer out of 25 against a written rubric and gives AI feedback on what to improve. It needs a free account and allows 3 evaluations a day. It is in beta.

For: Aspirants preparing for descriptive papers in SSC, bank PO and UPSC Mains.

2. **Open the descriptive studio** — Go to the descriptive page. (https://shishya.in/descriptive)
3. **Pick the type** — Choose essay, formal letter, précis or a Mains answer.
4. **Write or paste your answer** — Write within the word limit you will have in the exam.
5. **Read the score and feedback** — You get a score out of 25 against the rubric and the points to improve. Rewrite and check again the next day.

- A daily prompt on the descriptive page gives you something to write each day.

## When Shishya is not the right tool

AI feedback is a practice aid in beta. It is not the examiner's marking, and a human mentor's review is better for a final check.

## Questions

**How many answers can I check?** Three a day with a free account.

**Is it free?** Yes.
