  • At the specified exam time, the candidate will be able to take the exam even when there is no active internet connection as the data is already available in the intermediary IE application.
  • An invigilator supervises the exam session and monitors the candidates for any suspicious activities.
  • Candidates can submit their responses directly or upload their responses by scanning via mobile phone.
  • The candidate's responses will be stored securely in the intermediary IE application and pushed to the cloud when an internet connection is available.
  • The candidate’s responses will be made available to the faculty for evaluation.
  • The results will be made available to candidates along with performance analytics once evaluation is completed.

Benefits of Hybrid Online Exam

  • **Increased security** – In areas without internet connectivity there is always a risk of answer scripts being lost or question paper being compromised. Moving to hybrid online exam removes this security risk.
  • **No Internet connection required** – Even though there is no internet connection, candidates can take their exams on a computer as the solution is deployed over a local area network.
  • **Encryption of question paper** – As all data is encrypted in the local server, question paper is securely delivered to candidates during exam time on desktop/laptop connected to the local area network in test center.
  • **Speed of marking and results** – The turnaround time from exam to results is greatly reduced as results can be instantly made available to candidates for objective type responses and for subjective type responses once onscreen marking is completed.
