In a computer-based test, the question paper is not printed on paper at all. Experts create a bank of questions and then the question paper is assembled by a software algorithm that selects appropriate questions based on a Question Paper blueprint. No single individual has access to all the questions and answers, and the chances of leakage goes down dramatically.

Today’s technologies allow the machine-assembled question paper to be encrypted before it is sent out to the test centres. The question paper is decrypted only at the time of the first click by the candidate. This makes the question paper fully secured. Clearly, touts who claim that they have advance knowledge of the question paper are running a scam for cash.

New technologies for computer based testing include smart algorithms that create multiple question papers with the s same format and level of difficulty. This means that questions and options are randomized for each candidate. Since the question order and the multiple choice answer order for each question is not the same for two candidates, copying answers from the person sitting next to you is impossible – it will only lead to wrong answers

In the paper-pencil model, the entire question paper is visible and this opens up plenty of possibilities for malpractices. On the other hand, in computer based testing, the candidate can access just one question at a time. Moreover, there are time limitations for questions, which again reduces the chances of candidates getting answers from people on the outside to solve the paper.

High stake exams are conducted using secured, stand alone servers where the question paper files are encrypted. In addition, the candidate consoles do not support remote access. All these measures prevent hacking attempts or access by any fraudsters. Also, the system will trigger real time alerts if anyone tries to manipulate the computer system.

This can be done in a traditional setting or at home. With our AI built in tools exam security is nearly 99.99 percent of the traditional setting and is very cost affective.
In the traditional test centre, candidates are seated randomly and will not know in advance which machine will be allotted to him or her. All data regarding the test – number of candidates, the machines allotted, etc – are transmitted from the exam centre to a central command centre system. The command centre is used to monitor patterns that indicate cheating. The CCTV feed from the centre also helps in spotting suspicious cases. Centres typically use metal detectors to check for mobile phones or other electronic devices.
