The suite currently features six core tools: Document & Photo Resizer (resizer.exammint.in), ExamMint Academic (academic.exammint.in), UGC University Verifier (verify.exammint.in), Age Eligibility Calculator (age.exammint.in), JEE College Predictor (jee.exammint.in), and Exam Notifications (notifications.exammint.in).

Question 5

How does the Photo & Signature Resizer work without uploading files?

Accepted Answer

The Document Resizer executes entirely inside your web browser using HTML5 Canvas and WebAssembly (Rust-WASM) APIs. When you select an image, all scaling, compression, and formatting happen locally in your device temporary memory. Files are never transmitted over the network or sent to a server.

What presets and stamping features are available in the Resizer?

Accepted Answer

The Resizer provides pre-configured pixel dimensions and KB file-size ranges matching official notification rules for UPSC, SSC, IBPS, State PSCs, Police, and Judiciary exams. It also includes an optional auto-stamping feature to add candidate names and date-of-photo stamps required by exam boards like the SSC.

Question 7

How does ExamMint Academic convert SGPA/CGPA to percentage?

Accepted Answer

ExamMint Academic features over 80 university-specific grade converters built directly on published grading ordinances and official circulars of 12+ Indian universities (including IGNOU, MAKAUT, AKTU, SPPU, VTU, DU, and more). It calculates exact SGPA, CGPA, and DGPA to percentage formulas certified by each university.

Question 8

How accurate are the Age Calculator, UGC Verifier, and JEE Predictor?

Accepted Answer

The Age Calculator evaluates date-of-birth against official exam cut-off dates including category relaxations (OBC, SC/ST, PwD, Ex-Servicemen). The UGC Verifier searches official UGC-published lists of approved institutions. The JEE Predictor estimates IIT/NIT/IIIT allocations using JoSAA 2024–25 closing rank statistics. All outputs are intended as directional guides; candidates must cross-check official notifications.

No. ExamMint client-side tools require no sign-up, registration, email address, or personal data. Phone numbers are never requested, stored, or collected anywhere on ExamMint.

Question 10

Are uploaded files stored or sent over the internet?

Accepted Answer

Never. Your photos, signatures, and document inputs remain strictly inside your browser temporary memory (RAM). They are purged automatically the moment you close the tab, refresh the page, or clear browser memory.

Question 11

What analytics or tracking scripts operate on ExamMint?

Accepted Answer

ExamMint uses cookieless Cloudflare Web Analytics to monitor aggregate traffic counts (such as total page visits and general country region) without tracking individual users or placing cookies. We load zero marketing pixels, retargeting beacons, or ad networks.

Question 12

Does ExamMint use cookies or local browser storage?

Question 13

What is ExamMintBot and why does it crawl government portals?

Accepted Answer

How does ExamMintBot practice polite crawling?

Accepted Answer

ExamMintBot strictly respects robots.txt directives, applies randomized delays (0.8s to 2.0s) between consecutive requests, caps PDF downloads to 2 MB, limits concurrent connections per domain, and caches responses to avoid placing burden on public infrastructure.

Question 15

How can webmasters manage or block ExamMintBot crawling?

Accepted Answer

Portal administrators can control or disallow ExamMintBot by adding standard robots.txt rules specifying User-agent: ExamMintBot and Disallow: /. Webmasters can also email admin@exammint.in to request custom crawl delays or exclusions.

Question 16

Is everything on ExamMint fully automated by ExamMintBot?

Accepted Answer

No. ExamMintBot is specifically built to detect and index official recruitment notification changes and PDF releases. All complex data structuring, university ordinance verifications, exam cutoff updates, and tool algorithm logic are handled manually by developer Humayan Al Rosid where needed to ensure complete accuracy.

Question 17

How can I suggest a new client-side tool or report an issue?
