Overview

Examinations are an integral part of the school education process. There are examinations that are conducted by the State at a fixed schedule of the year. Additionally, as part of the regular ongoing teaching and learning process teachers conduct multiple tests, quizzes etc.

Prashnavali is envisioned to create a digitized process pertaining to these two use cases.

Existing Scenario

Question Paper Creation:

Schedule: 6 SAT cycles for all grades (bi-monthly)

Process:

1. Select few teachers come to SCERT and create a question bank only for the upcoming examination

2. SCERT lead, with the role of question paper creation, selects the questions from the pool created at previous step and creates a question paper, which remains confidential

3. Before examination, the question paper is emailed as PDF/Word Doc to the HM (school leaders) to take printout and conduct examinations

Question Bank:

No central repository of question bank, past year question paper exists at present.

Actors/Users in Prashnavali:

2. SB-22259: Create new question - Fill in the blanksClosed

Creators can now contribute (non-interactive) Match the Following and Fill in The Blank through a sourcing project. It is important to note that this is a “non-interactive” question category primarily meant to be used in an exam question paper which are going to be printed.
