The GradeLab alternative connected to your exam
GradeLab focuses tightly on reading and grading handwritten scripts, and that focus shows in its recognition quality. Edukali Answer Sheet treats grading as one step in a chain: the exam was built from your question bank, the rubric belongs to that paper, and the marks land beside OMR and online-exam results for the same class.
