• Runtime package and deployment instructions are given.
Scope
Online Examination System is designed for Educational Institutes like Schools, Colleges, and Private Institutes to conduct logic tests of their students on a regular basis. The system handles all the operations and generates reports as soon as the test is completed which saves the precious time of faculties spent on reviewing answer sheets. The existing system is weak when it comes to surprise test organizations whereas this system can make it possible very easily.
Weaknesses in Current System
The current system is as mentioned earlier very complicated and expensive. It also wastes the precious time of the faculties which can then be used in solving student queries and helping them improvise.
Taking surprise tests of students is also not feasible in the current system as planning for the exam and checking answer papers take a lot of time and thus cannot be completed on schedule.
