Earnings Many Times Over!
How do I earn money?
It’s pretty simple:
(1) Upload Your Questions (as per TCY Requirement only as provided at this link: Click here)
Get paid for every question (with solution) you upload. On submission of a set of minimum 15 questions (with solutions), you will be entitled to a fixed onetime payment plus lifelong royalty based on no. of unique attempts per question. The final amount will be decided after reviewing the questions on three grounds - Subject, Language and Tagging (Decision taken by editors will be final).
(2) Upfront Price per question will depend on Exam Level as well as the quality of the question (Five categories as below):
For each exam category, payment rate has been indicated as a band, the lowest rate being applicable for new authors, the midpoint for experienced authors with proven record of uploading error-free questions, and the highest rate for star authors with proven record of uploading star questions. In case of any doubt, authors are advised to get confirmation of applicable rates in advance. TCY decision in this regard will be final.

How Much Money can I Earn?
There is no limit; the more you upload the more you earn.
How Long will I Continue to Receive Royalties?
For as long as the content is relevant and users keep using it. So it is a good idea if you can update your content at regular intervals.
Is there no other channel for me to earn Royalty?
There is. Your individual questions may be used in a test (say, Mock Test). These Mock Tests (or other tests), in turn, may go in book form. Here the amount of royalty will be based on the total amount of royalty on the book and the total number of questions in the book.
How and When Shall I Get Paid?
Once a month, as soon as your earnings reach Rs. 1,000
