Competitive problem solving, every day
Faction Arena is an AI Native online platform for students preparing for JEE and NEET, operated by Faction and open to students across India.
What we do
Faction Arena is built on a simple conviction: preparation for JEE and NEET is dominated by lecture content, and watching lectures is not the same as solving problems under pressure. Most students discover that gap only in the examination hall.
The platform puts daily problem solving at the centre instead. Students practise against a large bank of examination problems across Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology, with difficulty that adapts to the level they are actually solving at. Weekly rated contests put that practice under timed conditions, and a peer doubt forum lets students work through what they are stuck on together.
Every attempt comes back as usable feedback rather than just a score. Streaks, ratings and chapter-level analytics show where a student is consistent and where they are not.
Our classrooms
Faction Arena did not start online. Faction runs offline coaching centres in Agartala, Tripura, Udaipur, Tripura, Dharmanagar, Tripura, where more than 1,500 students are currently enrolled across our classroom programmes.
The two sides of the business share one foundation: the same in-house question bank that our teachers write for the classroom is what feeds Faction Arena. Every problem on the platform has been authored by people who teach the syllabus daily, which is why the Arena is not a content licensing exercise.
