How to Use Doubtnut App – Complete Guide for Students (2025)

This guide explains how to use Doubtnut — install, scan questions, watch video solutions, browse NCERT, and use live classes. Download the app first if you have not installed it yet.

Getting Started — Install & Sign Up

  1. Download from Google Play or APK.
  2. Open Doubtnut and tap Get Started.
  3. Enter your mobile number and verify OTP.
  4. Select your class (6–12) and exam goal (Boards / JEE / NEET).
  5. Allow camera and storage permissions when asked.

Signing up is free — no payment is needed to scan your first question or watch basic video solutions.

How to Scan a Question (Camera Feature)

The scan question feature is what most students use daily. These tips give better matches:

1

Tap the camera icon

On the home screen — orange camera button in the center or bottom bar.

2

Frame one question

Include only one problem per photo. Avoid shadows and blur.

3

Capture & wait

AI processes in 5–10 seconds. Crop if the app asks.

4

Pick the best match

If multiple results show, choose the question that looks identical to yours.

Tip: Good lighting and flat textbook pages improve scan accuracy for maths symbols and diagrams.

Watching Video Solutions

After a successful scan, doubtnut video solutions play automatically. You can pause, rewind 10 seconds, change playback speed, and save videos for offline viewing (where supported). Watch the full explanation — do not skip to the final answer only. Note the method in your notebook and solve a similar problem yourself to confirm understanding.

For competitive exams, combine with IIT JEE or NEET study plans.

Browsing NCERT Without Scanning

Not every session needs the camera. Go to Study or NCERT section → select class → subject → chapter → exercise → question number. This is ideal when you know exactly which NCERT problem you need — faster than scanning for Class 10 or 12 homework.

Live Classes & Premium Features

Free users get limited live classes; premium unlocks full schedules for JEE, NEET, and boards. Check the Live tab for today's sessions. PDF notes and test series are under premium — see free vs premium on the homepage.
