Free tools for the fiddly parts

They work on your phone. Nothing you type or upload leaves your device.

    Make a PDF smaller, resize a passport photo, combine PDFs or turn phone photos into one PDF. Everything happens on your phone, and nothing is uploaded.

    Open the Toolkit
  • Answer Bank

    Write your details and statements once, then copy them into any portal. Saved only on your device, so nothing is lost if a portal crashes.

    Open the Answer Bank
  • Application Tracker

    Keep every application, deadline and confirmation number in one place, and add your deadlines to your calendar.

    Open the Tracker

Stuck on a portal? Ask someone who has done it.

  • Usually a reply within 24 hours, closest deadlines first
  • On WhatsApp, by phone or by email, in English or Urdu
  • Never asks for your password, OTP code or CNIC number

Questions students ask

Can't find your answer? See all questions or contact us.

Is Nooops free?

Yes. Every guide, tool and Buddy is free. Only the optional CV and personal statement reviews are paid, and they help fund the project.

Do you upload or store my documents?

No. The Document Toolkit, Answer Bank and Tracker work only on your own device, and your files never leave it. We never ask for your CNIC number, passwords or documents.

Who are the Buddies?

University students who have completed applications themselves. Every Buddy is approved by a coordinator, agrees to the Buddy rules and completes our training.

Are the guides official?

No. Our guides are written by students and checked against the official website, which is linked on every guide with the date it was last checked. The official website always has the final word.

My application is not listed. What can I do?

Request a guide and we will look into writing one. Meanwhile, the Document Toolkit works for any portal, and a Buddy can still help you.
