About us

Ratio is a law entrance test prep platform committed to making high-quality legal test prep, especially for CLAT and AILET, free and accessible to everyone.

Paid prep will always exist, and it may serve many well. But we believe that a free, open and high-quality prep platform should also exist as public infrastructure. We didn’t find one that met that standard, so we decided to build one.

Ratio is made available without branding, paywalls, or ads. There are no premium tiers, no hidden fees, and no marketing funnels.

Our philosophy

At its core, Ratio is built in the spirit of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS), even though it isn’t software.

While FOSS is a term rooted in the software world, the underlying values it promotes apply to Ratio as well. We have tried to build Ratio on the ethos of openness, transparency, and accessibility that FOSS champions.

Ratio is also built on Moodle an open-source learning management system.

What are we building?

Phase 1: We have made past year CLAT and AILET papers accessible and easy to use in the form of mocks/quizzes with feedback. Many of these papers were sourced from official websites or obtained through Right to Information (RTI) requests, details of which can be accessed here, here and here.

The specific/custom feedback for each question (right and wrong answer explanations) as well as specific tags for questions are licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.

Phase 2: In Phase 2, we aim to add resources like concept explainers, mock tests, and discussion forums, etc. All such content will be licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.

 

How we work

Ratio is a small project. It is not backed by any institution, grant, or company at the moment.

So far, our expenses have been modest and personally funded. Going forward, we plan to maintain a simple cost tracker which includes hosting, domain fees, and any paid contributor support.

We are open to sharing the costs with others who believe in the mission.
