Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. No paywall, no email gate, no upsell. There is no account to create and nothing to buy. You can read every guide without signing in. We mean it when we say it stays free.

WhatNow (also written WhatNowIndia, at whatnowindia.vercel.app) is an independent project built by a small team across India, led by founder Vasu — not a coaching company or an edtech brand. The full team and their roles are listed on our Credits page. The point is exactly that: guidance from people who have been through it, not a sales funnel.

WhatNow is built by a small independent team: Vasu (founder & owner), Yashvardhan (lead developer — tech & product), Arsh (developer & lead maintainer), Antinity (advisory developer), Infernum (design & short-form content), Saammm and Doraemon (outreach & partnerships), and Yukt (interview host). Full profiles are on the WhatNow Credits page at whatnowindia.vercel.app/credits.

No. WhatNow (WhatNowIndia, at whatnowindia.vercel.app) is an independent career and entrance-exam guidance website for Indian students. It is not related to Whatnot India, the Whatnot livestream marketplace, or any 'What Now' youth-movement or campaign. If you searched 'whatnowindia' and saw those, they are different organisations.

No. We take no referral fees, no commissions, no sponsorships, and no paid placements. We don't rank colleges for money and we don't accept sponsored content. That independence is the whole product — see our Editorial Guidelines for the full rules we hold ourselves to.

We research carefully from primary sources and link to them so you can verify. But exam patterns, eligibility, fees, and cut-offs change, so always confirm anything that affects a real decision against the official source. Guides are refreshed as official rules change, and material corrections are noted on the page. Found a mistake? Email indiawhatnow@gmail.com.

No. We give you information, frameworks, and honest reality checks — the decision is always yours. We are not a counselling service, an agent, or a coaching institution, and we don't offer one-on-one advice. Our job is to help you judge fit, not to steer you.

WhatNow is built to be read without signing in, so we collect very little. We don't sell your data, run ad networks, or build advertising profiles. The full details — including your rights under India's DPDP Act — are in our Privacy Policy.

Email indiawhatnow@gmail.com or drop into our community Discord. Tell us the page and the problem, and we'll review and fix it. Suggestions for new guides are genuinely welcome.

Yes — we're always expanding our network of honest mentors. If you've actually cleared a major entrance exam or work in a field we cover and want to write a candid guide, reach out at indiawhatnow@gmail.com.

We started with the two languages that reach the most students we're built for. Some pages are English-first with Hindi on the way — where that's the case, the English version is the authoritative one for now. More languages may follow.

Not yet. WhatNow is a fast, mobile-friendly website that works on any phone without an install. If that changes, you'll hear it here and on our community channels first.
