Online Exam
Schedule timed online exams with an NTA-style player, live proctoring and instant auto-grading — from a weekly class quiz to a full-length mock for thousands.
What it is
Online Exam delivers timed, device-based exams with a JEE/NTA-style player: a question palette, mark-for-review, an on-screen calculator, per-question timing and autosave that survives flaky connections. You build the exam in a two-view builder (Settings + Questions), schedule an access window, and optionally turn on proctoring (webcam snapshots, screen share, tab-switch and fullscreen monitoring). Objective questions auto-grade the moment a student submits; subjective answers go to a manual grading workspace.
Who it's for
Teachers, parents and org admins create and monitor exams; students take them. Online Exam is purchase-gated and behind the CHANNEL.ONLINE feature flag — your tenant must be entitled and the channel enabled. Building an exam consumes paper credits from your wallet (roughly one credit per 50 questions); a low-balance banner warns you before you publish.
Key capabilities
- Shared scope picker — before the builder opens you choose Board → Class → Subject, then tick the chapters (and, if you want, individual topics inside a chapter). Add another scope lets one exam mix boards — say CBSE Class 12 Maths plus JEE Main Maths. Everything downstream, including the question bank, stays inside that scope. - NTA/JEE-style player — palette, mark-for-review, calculator, per-question timing, resilient autosave. - Two-view builder — a collapsible Settings stack (General, Timing, Grade & question behaviour, Scoring, Proctoring, Restrictions, Instructions) and a Questions editor with optional sections. - Scheduling — open/close window, late-submission grace, and a separate result-release time. - Proctoring & browser security — webcam + snapshot interval, screen share, audio, tab-switch and fullscreen, plus a hard tab-switch auto-submit limit. - Scoring — negative marking and partial marking. - Live monitor — watch each student’s webcam and shared screen live while they work, alongside violations; pause, extend, flag or force-submit. - Exam pattern percentile — tag the exam as JEE Main, JEE Advanced, NEET or CUET and results are ranked with that exam’s official percentile formula. - Teacher dry runs — opening an exam as staff shows a preview card with a Take a dry run — not recorded button: the real player, end to end, with nothing stored and no attempt used — even before the window opens. - Question discussions — students and teachers can talk a question through from the result review. - Flexible answering — objective questions in the player; subjective ones by typing, handwriting on an on-screen pad, speaking via the mic (voice-to-text), or attaching a photo of paper working (camera or gallery). - AI feedback on subjective answers — an optional marks-based verdict with partial credit, mistakes and tips (plus a handwriting transcription). It is held for teacher review: the student first sees "Waiting for teacher review", and the feedback is released with a "Teacher reviewed" badge only after a teacher confirms or overrides it. - Results & analytics — per-student, per-question, topic/Bloom heat maps and comparative views. - Reusable exam patterns & templates for one-click set-up.
Quick start
Open Exams and click New exam. The scope screen opens: choose Board, Class and Subjects, then tick the chapters this exam covers.
In Settings, fill General (title, mode), set Timing (duration + optional schedule), and tune grade, scoring and restrictions.
Optionally open Proctoring & browser security and turn on the checks you want.
Switch to Questions, add from the bank or AI-generate, set per-question marks (and sections if needed).
Hit Preview, then Publish now (or Schedule to publish if you set a future start).
While live, open the monitor to watch webcam and screen feeds; afterwards jump to Results for analytics and to grade subjective answers.
Question discussions
Every question can carry its own conversation. When a student reads back their attempt on the online-exam result page, a Discuss button sits beside each question. Clicking it opens a Discussion panel holding the thread for that question, so a doubt gets asked and answered in the one place it belongs, instead of in a separate chat where nobody can find it later. Students and teachers use the same thread. Anyone signed in can start a post, reply to someone else’s, and vote posts up or down so the most useful explanation floats to the top. You can edit or delete your own posts (an edited post is marked (edited)). The teacher — or whoever wrote the question — can mark one reply as the Accepted answer, which pins it visually in green so later readers see the settled explanation first.
Opens the discussion thread for that one question. It sits on the exam result review, and only for signed-in readers — someone opening a guest or shared result link does not see it.
Write into the box ("Ask a doubt or share your approach…") and post. An untouched question shows "No discussions yet. Be the first to ask!".
Answer a top-level post. Replies nest one level deep, which keeps a long thread readable.
Vote a post up or down; the net score sits between the two arrows so the clearest explanation is easy to spot.
A teacher, or the question’s author, marks one reply as the answer. It gets an Accepted badge and a green highlight.
Change or remove your own post. Edited posts are labelled (edited); deleting asks you to confirm first.
Threads follow the question, not the exam — so a discussion started on one exam’s review is there again the next time that question is used. Readers only ever see threads for questions they are allowed to open, and participants’ email addresses are never shown.
