Project Overview
Guidely is an all-in-one competitive exam preparation platform designed to help students excel in Banking, SSC, and RRB exams. Developed by Softkingo, the app offers a wide range of features, including high-quality mock tests, live classes, current affairs, general knowledge (GK) PDFs, quizzes, and ebooks. Whether you're preparing for competitive exams or looking for daily practice, Guidely provides everything a student needs to succeed in the most important government exams.


Project Requirements
The client approached Softkingo with the following key goals:
▸To build a comprehensive exam prep app, Guidely required several key features
▸Mock Tests
A vast library of high-quality, realistic mock tests designed for Bank, SSC, and RRB exams.
▸Live Classes
Real-time, interactive sessions where students can learn directly from expert instructors.
▸Daily Updates
Current affairs and daily quizzes to keep students updated on the latest topics.
▸Study Materials
A rich collection of eBooks, PDFs, and practice questions.
▸User-Friendly Interface
The app needed to be intuitive, easy to navigate, and designed to help students stay motivated and focused.
▸Scalability
The platform should handle thousands of concurrent users without compromising performance.
▸Security
Ensuring that users’ data was secure, especially considering the personal nature of exam preparation.

Goals & Objectives
- ▸Comprehensive Exam Preparation: Provide everything a student needs, from mock tests to live sessions, ensuring holistic preparation.
- ▸Interactive Learning: Make learning engaging with interactive features like live classes, quizzes, and personalized learning paths.
- ▸Real-Time Updates: Keep students informed with up-to-date current affairs, GK, and exam-related content.
- ▸Mobile-First Approach: Ensure the app is easy to use, engaging, and fully functional across devices.
- ▸Scalable Platform: Build an infrastructure that can handle thousands of users, especially during peak exam seasons.
- ▸User Security: Protect sensitive student data and ensure secure logins and transactions.
The Challenges
Developing Guidely presented several unique challenges. First, integrating live classes with interactive features like Q&A, quizzes, and real-time feedback required robust video streaming technology. Ensuring scalability was another challenge, as we needed a platform capable of handling peak traffic during exam seasons without performance drops. Additionally, keeping the platform secure was paramount due to the personal data involved in the exam preparation process. Lastly, providing a rich variety of study materials, from mock tests to current affairs, meant managing a vast database and keeping content up-to-date.
The Solution
Softkingo overcame these challenges by implementing innovative solutions. For live classes, we utilized WebRTC and Socket.IO to provide seamless video streaming and real-time interaction. To ensure the app could scale effectively, we employed cloud infrastructure (AWS) to manage large volumes of data and traffic during peak usage. For security, we incorporated end-to-end encryption and multi-factor authentication to protect user data. We also developed an intuitive user interface with a mobile-first approach, ensuring students could access all study materials, mock tests, and live classes with ease.
