This will enable a web-based online evaluation software in which scanning, indexing and evaluation modules are integrated together that helps to correct subjective-type answer sheets with acute precision. Also it helps in establishing great level of confidentiality and transparency in the process.

Talking about certain features inbuilt, he said, “There are features like answer book digitization which helps in automatic archiving of the answer booklets. Others include option of sending a copy of the answer booklet to the students through email for high level of transparency; automatic suppression of student identity for high level of confidentiality; option of multiple evaluations for one answer booklet; marks can be awarded, viewed and corrected for individual question with ease.”

Talking of the subsequent solution, Mr. R. Ramkumar, Strategic Partner, TRS Forms & Services Pvt. Ltd. said, “E-Assess is an innovative & interactive solution for test creation and assessment.
