Oliveboard

What it is

Oliveboard is an online coaching platform for government and competitive exams, run by Oliveboard Pvt. Ltd from an office in HSR Layout, Bangalore. It is a learner product built around two things: full online courses with recorded and live classes, and a very large set of mock tests. The courses page describes a "complete preparation ecosystem" for SSC, banking, railways, regulatory, JAIIB-CAIIB and other government exams, and the home page headline promises "Live Classes & Practice Sessions with Top Faculty, AI-driven Mock Tests", with a Start Free Trial button underneath. The home page's key statistics are a 4.55/5 Play Store rating, 10M+ app downloads and 50M+ mock tests taken.

Exams covered

The exam list is long. Banking and insurance alone runs from SBI PO, SBI Clerk, IBPS PO, IBPS Clerk and the IBPS RRB officer and clerk exams to specialist officer posts, LIC, NIACL and NICL, RBI Assistant and dozens of individual bank recruitments. SSC covers CGL, CHSL, MTS, CPO, GD Constable, Stenographer, Selection Post and JE, along with Delhi Police and Intelligence Bureau posts.

For working bankers there is a separate JAIIB-CAIIB group with IIBF certifications such as AML KYC, Digital Banking, Ethics in Banking, MSME, Risk in Financial Services, IT Security and Strategic Management, which is where the platform overlaps with certification prep. The catalog also covers UPSC CSE and state public service commissions, UGC NET and CTET for teaching, MBA entrance tests (CAT, XAT, SNAP, NMAT, IIFT, CMAT, MHCET and TISSNET), law entrance tests including CLAT and AILET, state judicial services, defense entry (AFCAT, CDS, Agniveer), agriculture research posts, and state-level exams for Jammu and Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. Under the SkillVertex name it adds short skill courses: spoken English, language translation, typing in Hindi and English, content writing, descriptive writing and interview prep.

What a course includes

The courses FAQ says each course includes video lectures, practice quizzes, notes and live classes, "all aligned with the exam syllabus", and that courses work on the web and in the app with progress synced across devices. The courses page lists the full set: live and recorded classes, topic-wise and full-length mock tests on the latest pattern, AI-based performance analysis to find weak areas, study notes and PDFs, doubt clearing support, practice quizzes and sectional tests, daily current affairs and static GK, an interactive study plan with reminders and milestones, previous year papers, and community forums with other aspirants and educators. On language, it says courses come with bilingual content in English and Hinglish, and the FAQ says many courses are available in both.

The home page describes the AI side as an adaptive learning platform that gives targeted recommendations and study plans based on weak areas and the time a learner has available, and it mentions adaptive mock tests and personalized study planners. The courses page sets out who the courses are for: first-time aspirants who need structure, working professionals who need flexible study with live and recorded classes, repeaters who want to lift their rank, candidates who want bilingual content, and aspirants preparing for several exams, for whom it offers courses that consolidate preparation across exams such as SSC CGL, IBPS PO, RBI Grade B and RRB JE.

Mock tests and free resources

The mock tests reach almost every exam in the catalog, with free live tests for exams such as IBPS PO and Clerk, SBI PO and Clerk, SSC CGL and CHSL, CAT and railway exams, plus typing and skill tests for posts that need them (SSC CHSL, EPFO SSA, SSC Stenographer). The home page offers 100+ free mock tests after registration and 400+ free ebooks in the app. Previous year papers are collected by exam for banking, SSC, regulatory, JAIIB-CAIIB, UGC NET and railways, and the site adds score calculators for SSC CGL and RRB NTPC and exam guides with notifications, syllabus, eligibility, cut-offs and salaries.

Prices and sign-up

The pages show no course prices; the courses page lists affordable pricing as a feature and says each course page shows its structure, features, schedule, syllabus coverage and pricing. Enrolling takes a free Oliveboard account, after which the learner can start with live classes, mock tests and notes straight away, and the home page offers a free trial.

Results and testimonials

The home and courses pages show a "Record Breaking Results Every Year" panel of All India Rank holders the company presents as its students, among them Nakshatra Malhotra for RBI Grade B 2025, Dhruv Rana and N Ramcharan for SSC CGL 2025, Niranjan Jain for SBI PO 2025 and Amit Mandal for IBPS PO 2023, with rank 1 badges for SBI PO, IBPS PO, RBI Grade B, SSC CGL, SSC CGL (JSO) and SSC CHSL.

The testimonials are specific. Gorakh Jayswal, who cleared RBI Grade B, credits the Phase I and II mock tests and the concise notes for the ESI and FM papers. Suraj Kr. Prajapati, who cleared NABARD Grade A, took a free interview course, sat a mock interview and says the panel members helped him with his weaker sections. Alind Srivastava (IBPS PO) says the mocks demand high concentration, which helped in the real bank exam, and Akash Sharma (RRB Clerk) mentions videos by named teachers for current affairs and study tips. Kumar Prateek (SSC CGL) praises the faculty.

Support

The footer gives a support email and phone number. The courses page also lists doubt clearing support and community forums.

Who it suits

Oliveboard suits a Hindi- or English-speaking candidate preparing for almost any central or state government exam, and it is especially strong in banking, insurance and the financial regulators, where it covers officer, specialist and clerk posts plus the JAIIB-CAIIB and IIBF certifications for serving bankers. A candidate who wants a full course with live classes gets one, and a candidate who mainly wants practice can rely on the mock tests, previous papers and free resources. Working professionals and repeaters are named target groups, and the consolidated courses help anyone sitting several exams in a year. The main caveat is the sheer size: with this many exams and products, a newcomer should pick the target exam first and compare the course pages and prices for it before buying.
