Editorial policy
BrainStride editorial policy: how we check the AI
What gets reviewed, by whom, how errors are fixed, and where our exam information comes from.
Short answer
Under the BrainStride editorial policy, every solution is checked by a subject teacher before release, disputed or multi-concept items get a second reviewer, and explanations in use are audited weekly. Any student can report an error in one tap; reports are acknowledged and fixed or explained within 48 hours. Exam pages cite official sources, label weightage as our analysis and mark unannounced dates as expected.
How is a question reviewed before students see it?
Every question and solution in the BrainStride bank moves through the same stages. Nothing reaches students on the AI’s word alone.
- 01
Stage 1
Drafted and tagged
The question is tagged by exam, chapter, concept and the error it usually catches, and a step-by-step solution is drafted.
- 02
Stage 2
Subject faculty check
A teacher for that subject checks the final answer, every step and the wording of the explanation.
- 03
Stage 3
Second reviewer where needed
Multi-concept problems, and any item where the first reviewer and the draft disagree, go to a second reviewer before release.
- 04
Stage 4
Published
Only items signed off by faculty enter the question bank students practise from.
- 05
Ongoing
Weekly audit
Every week, faculty sample explanations already in use and fix anything unclear or wrong, alongside the reports students send.
Where does BrainStride use AI, and who checks it?
We use AI where speed and personalisation matter, and people where correctness matters most.
| Feature | What the AI does | What people check |
|---|---|---|
| Question-bank solutions | Drafts step-by-step solutions | Faculty check every solution before release; weekly audits after |
| Camera doubt-solving | Reads a photographed question and explains the reasoning in seconds | Any answer can be sent to a subject mentor with “this looks wrong” |
| Mistake analysis | Tags each wrong answer as concept gap, silly error or time pressure | Tagging rules and the explanations they point to are faculty-reviewed |
| Daily plan and spaced revision | Re-cuts tomorrow’s plan every night from your mistakes | Practice content in the plan comes from the faculty-checked bank |
| Predicted rank | Estimates a rank range after every mock | Shown as a range, never a single number, with the method explained |
| Exam-information pages | Helps draft pages from the official sources cited on them | Every fact is checked against the cited source, and a subject teacher reviews the page before publication |
Live camera doubt-solving answers are generated in seconds and are not pre-checked; that is why every answer carries a one-tap report.
How do I report an error, and what happens next?
Tap “this looks wrong” on any question, solution or doubt answer in the app. The report goes straight to a mentor for that subject — not a queue of bots.
- Acknowledged and resolved within 48 hours. Within 48 hours, the mentor either fixes the item or explains why the original answer stands.
- Fixed for everyone. If the item is wrong, it is corrected in the question bank, so every student sees the fixed version, not only the student who reported it.
- Traced back. If the same kind of error shows up more than once, the related items in that chapter are re-checked in the next weekly audit.
Errors on this website — an exam date, a cutoff, a broken link — can be reported by writing to hello@brainstride.co. They follow the same 48-hour standard.
Where does BrainStride’s exam information come from?
Exam pages are only as good as their sources. These rules apply to every exam-information, tool, counselling and subject page.
- Every exam page cites the official source it relies on — NTA, the JEE Advanced organising IIT and Joint Admission Board, JoSAA, MCC, NMC, HBCSE or CBSE — in a sources section on the page.
- Exam facts carry their year (“In JEE Main 2025, the General cutoff was 93.10 percentile”), because patterns and cutoffs change.
- Dates that have not been officially announced are labelled expected, with the basis explained, until the official notice is out.
- Chapter weightage is labelled as BrainStride analysis of past papers and given as ranges — NTA does not publish chapter weightage.
- Rank and score predictions are approximate ranges, with the data and limits explained on each tool page.
- Company figures such as question-bank counts are never used in exam facts, FAQ answers or page descriptions.
How often is exam information updated?
Exam-information pages are reviewed whenever an official notice changes something they cover — a new information bulletin, a revised date, a published cutoff or answer key — and at least once every exam cycle even if nothing changes. The Updated date at the top of each page shows when it was last reviewed, and the reviewer is named where one applies.
How are corrections handled?
When a page is corrected, the fix is made on the page itself and the Updated date changes. Material corrections — a wrong date, cutoff, eligibility rule or marking scheme — are noted on the page so a returning reader can see what changed, rather than being quietly overwritten.
Who writes exam pages?
Exam pages are drafted by the BrainStride Exam Desk with AI assistance, checked against the official sources cited on the page, and reviewed by a subject teacher before publication. Guides for specific subjects are reviewed by that subject's faculty.
Why don't you name the reviewers?
Our subject teachers are employees, not a marketing roster, so we don't publish their names, photographs or previous employers. What we publish instead is the standard they work to: which stages a solution passes, who signs it off, how quickly a reported error is fixed, and what happens when a teacher and a draft solution disagree. If you find something wrong, the report reaches the person responsible for that subject either way.
Is BrainStride independent?
Yes. BrainStride is an independent company and is not affiliated with any exam or admission body. Official decisions are always theirs; always confirm on the official website before acting.

Questions about accuracy
Is the BrainStride AI ever wrong?
Occasionally, like any tutor. That is why BrainStride faculty check every question-bank solution before release, audit explanations weekly and give every answer a one-tap “this looks wrong” report. Reports go to a subject mentor, who fixes the item or explains why the original answer stands within 48 hours.
Are BrainStride camera doubt answers checked by teachers?
Not before you see them. Camera doubt answers are generated in seconds, so a teacher cannot check each one first. Every doubt answer has a “this looks wrong” button that sends it to a subject mentor. Question-bank solutions, by contrast, are checked by faculty before release.
Where does BrainStride get cutoffs and exam dates?
BrainStride exam pages take cutoffs, patterns and dates from official sources — NTA, the JEE Advanced organising IIT, JoSAA, MCC, NMC, HBCSE and CBSE — and link to them on each page. Dates not yet announced are labelled expected, and every page shows when it was last updated.
Is BrainStride chapter weightage official?
No. NTA does not publish chapter-wise weightage for JEE Main or NEET UG. The weightage on BrainStride pages is BrainStride analysis of past papers, shown as ranges of questions per paper and labelled that way, so treat it as a planning guide rather than a promise about the next paper.
How do I report a mistake on the BrainStride website?
Write to hello@brainstride.co with the page link and what looks wrong. Website errors such as an outdated date, a cutoff or a broken link follow the same standard as in-app reports: the BrainStride team fixes the page or explains why it stands within 48 hours, and material corrections are noted on the page.
