Description

The Smart Exam system simplifies exam processes by automating registration, question management, and instant results. Students register with identity checks, and the admin manages a categorized Question Bank, setting exam parameters. Questions display randomly to prevent collaboration, with time-limited answers. Results are instant upon completion, emailed to the admin, and archived for reference. This efficient, secure system is ideal for institutions seeking accurate, real-time exam management.

Registration and Identity Verification

Before accessing the "Exam" page, students must complete a registration process for identity verification. They register by selecting their institute, course name, batch and provide their name, ID, and email. The system cross-checks this information with the student database stored on the server for validation.

Question Bank Management

The admin creates a “Question Bank” organized by subject, where each subject may contain numerous questions categorized as "easy," "medium," and "tough." The admin selects the number of questions per category, exam duration, passing marks, and other exam settings. The admin can upload, edit, or delete any number of questions through the admin panel, allowing flexibility in question management.

Exam Setup and Execution

Students access the "Exam" page to begin their exams. Questions appear on each student’s screen randomly, ensuring no two students see the same questions in the same order. Each question must be answered within a specific time limit by selecting an answer from multiple choices. Although students may be seated together, the randomization prevents them from assisting one another.

The exam has a fixed duration, and once the time expires, the system automatically displays the results, showing the total questions, correct answers, incorrect answers, and final score. If a student finishes early, they can view their results immediately.

Results and Reporting

Upon exam completion, the system generates individual result sheets and a tabulation sheet, which are automatically emailed to the admin. All results are archived in the database, allowing retrieval for future reference. Additionally, the system restricts students from attempting multiple exams unless permitted by the Admin.
