OMR Exams
The OMR exams list plus the five-step builder — every marking, version, sheet-layout and section option, plus the scan-upload and verify workflow.
What this screen shows
The OMR Exams tab lists each OMR exam with its status (Draft / Published / Graded / Completed), filterable by tab and searchable. Cards offer publish, open, analytics, assign and delete; a bulk bar lets you grade, export or delete several at once. Opening an exam reveals tabs — Overview (action center + answer key), Sheets (scan table), Results and Settings.

Choosing the scope (before the builder)
OMR used to open a short wizard that asked only for board, class and subject. It now opens the same scope screen the rest of Edukali uses — Paper Canva, Online Exam and Rank Booster all share it — so an OMR exam is defined by its chapters, not just its subject. A panel headed New OMR Exam appears over the list: pick Board, Class and Subjects, then tick the chapters this exam covers. Every chapter shows how many questions the bank holds for it in brackets, and a chapter with none is greyed out. The scope you set is saved with the exam, not thrown away after create. Question-paper generation and anything that later pulls questions for this exam read it back, so the exam stays inside the syllabus you chose.
On the OMR Exams list, click New scan. The New OMR Exam panel opens. Choose a Board, then a Class, then one or more Subjects.
The New OMR Exam panel with Board, Class and Subjects selectors above the chapter grid
OMR now opens the shared scope picker — Board, Class and Subjects, then the chapters.
Tick the chapters. Use Select all for the whole subject (the number beside it is the total questions you would be taking), or the Search chapters box to find one quickly.
To pull a mock from more than one syllabus, click Add another scope and fill in a second board / class / subjects block — up to four in all. Each extra block can be collapsed or removed.
Two scope blocks stacked inside the New OMR Exam panel with the Add another scope button below
Add another scope lets one OMR mock span two boards — useful for a combined school-plus-entrance paper.
For part of a chapter only, click the chevron on its card to open the topic checklist and tick the topics you want. The chapter then shows a dash instead of a tick and a count like "12 of 40".
A chapter card expanded into its topic checklist with a few topics ticked
Expand a chapter to narrow it to specific topics; a partly-ticked chapter contributes only those topics.
Read the tally at the bottom — chapters, topics and questions in scope — then click Continue to move into the five-step builder.
All three required, each unlocking the next. Pick several subjects for a combined-paper mock and each gets its own chapter list.
Filters the chapter grid as you type. Chapters you already ticked stay ticked while hidden; Select all then applies only to what is visible.
Tick for the whole chapter. The bracketed figure is the questions available; a chapter with none is dimmed and cannot be picked.
Opens the chapter’s topic checklist, each topic with its own count. A partly-ticked chapter contributes only the ticked topics. Topics with no questions are left out, and a chapter with none at all says "No topics with questions in this chapter."
Stacks a second board/class/subjects block, up to four. It stays greyed out until the current block is complete.
Enabled once every block has a board, class, subject and at least one chapter, and it carries the whole selection into the builder.
This replaces the old three-field OMR pre-create wizard. If you have run OMR exams before, the flow is one screen longer but the extra screen is the useful one — it is where the exam’s syllabus gets pinned down.
Builder — basics, source & marking/versions
Step 1: required date and optional time.
Total students / duration
Step 1: expected student count and exam duration.
Step 2: pick a built paper as the question source, with a search box to find it by title. The scope you set on the way in is kept with the exam and used downstream (question-paper generation, for instance) — it does not narrow this list, so choose a paper that matches the syllabus you picked.
Step 2: reuse an online exam’s questions instead — same list, same title search.
