Virtual Examination Application
[attachment=16882]

INTRODUCTION

Project Overview
A Virtual Test Application is a stand alone application for conducting a test which can be used to assess cognitive and practical abilities.This project assesses students by conducting computerized objective tests. These objective tests require a user to choose or provide a response to a question whose correct answer is predetermined. Such a question might require a student to:
• select a solution from a set of choices (MCQ, true-false, matching)
• identify an object or position (graphical hotspot) or
• supply brief numeric or text responses (text input)


Scope
Scope of this project is very broad in terms of other manually taking exams. Few of them are:-
This can be used in educational institutions as well as in corporate world.
No restriction that examiner has to be present when the candidate takes the test.


Features

Secure
Easy to use
No need of examiner
Lower long-term costs
Instant feedback to students
Improved reliability (machine marking is much more reliable than human marking)



VIRTUAL EXAMINATION SYSTEM OVER EXISTING MANUAL SYSTEM

The whole process of assigning test and evaluating their scores after the test, was done manually till date. Processing the test paper i.e. checking and distributing respective scores used to take time when the software was not installed.

DISADVANTAGES OF CURRENT SYSTEM:

• The current system is very time consuming.
• It is very difficult to analyze the exam manually.
• To take exam of more candidates more invigilators are required but no need of invigilator in case of virtual exam.
• Results are not precise as calculation and evaluations are done manually.
• The chances of paper leakage are more in current system as compared to proposed system.
• Result processing takes more time as it is done manually.


FUNCTIONAL OR SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

Required software is for conducting virtual `objective’ type examination and providing immediate results. The system should satisfy the following requirements:

•Administrator Aspect
1. Taking backup of the database
2. Editing/Deleting/Creating the database.
3. Adding or expelling people who can take up the quiz

•User Aspect
1. Logging into the system.
2. Appearing for the examination.
3. Viewing the result at the end of the examination.
