SUMMARY
The use of computer has been steadily increasing in science and technology since its invention. Computer Technology has spread its root in various areas including Industry, Science, Technology, Education and Business. Their application is increasing day by day in various other fields and their most recent conquest is Online Applications.
With the advent of various online systems for example: Online reservations, online banking, online shopping, auctioning etc., appearing for an examination through Internet or rather we will say online has become an essential part of a student’s life.
We have tried to design a system, which can be used by the students to take tests for various subjects. The questions have been designed to be objective/multiple type instead of elaborative.
The user has to register for the test. The Administrator provides an unique user name and password to the student. The user name and password will be required by the student for taking the test. At the end of the test the student can see his Result.
The Administrator can only add a teacher and the teacher can provide questions for only one subject only. The teacher will also be given a specific user name and password, by which the teacher can login in and add/update questions. The teacher will have to provide questions in the multiple choice format. The teacher will provide the right answer also.
The administrator can view, update records of the users and can add/modify user’s details i.e. the administrator has the rights to make any changes in the database.
INTRODUCTION
1.1 PROPOSED SYSTEM:
• CITM online exam is helpful for the students to check out their performance in various subjects.
• Authenticated user can access to the website.
• Only teachers can add new questions to any subject with one right answer. And they can delete questions as well.
• Students have to log in, select the subject and can take the test.
• Floating difficulty level of the questions based on student’s performance.
• Only the correct answer provided by teacher will fetch marks to the students.
The Format of the test will be as follows:
When a student starts a test, he will get a simple level question.If the student gives the right answer,then he will get the Medium level question.If the students gives the right answer to that,then he will get a Difficult level question.If in any condition the student fails to give the right answer,then the level will fall down to one level below.The first question of the test will be a random question from the simple question database
Scoring in the Exam
The scoring in the exam will be done on the following Prameters:
For every right answer of the respective level,the following marks will be fetched
1.Easy Level =1
2.Medium Level =2
3.Difficult Level =3
1.2 WHY IS ONLINE BETTER THEN PAPER BASED?
Lower long-term costs :Although the initial expenditure to set up the system will be on the higher side, but when the system becomes fully operative and functional,it will be economically beneficial.
Instant feedback to students: The students can get the result instantaneously.
Greater flexibility with respect to location and timing.
The students can give the test any time they want and the test location is also flexible. The student can give the exam at any time or place.
Improved reliability: Machine marking is much more reliable than human marking.
Enhanced question styles which incorporate interactivity and multimedia
1.3 MODULES
