New Technology for University examination
An examination is an examination, and most important work in it is to get it properly evaluated, scored and finally entered in the system. Most of us do not know what happens to your examination booklet or essay type answer script once you submit it to the invigilators.
So here how it goes, in India particularly we use like 20, 30, 36, 40 pages freestyle script which a candidate write its essay type answers or say descriptive type.
And most of the university is now using Front Cover as OMR which consist of the candidate information and balance are blank pages. An OMR front cover usually consists of information like Candidate Data, College Code, Subject Code and also have a space for the Invigilator sign etc.
What normally happens after this is Information which consists of the Candidate Information is being torn away a kind of Unique Barcode or Dummy Number is being pasted. Then the Candidate Data is being read using some sort of Image-Based OMR or Direct OMR Scanner. After reading we get back the data from the Evaluator it's being merged based on the Unique Barcode. This process so far had been good, but now a new Technology using Opex Scanner is launched which can automatically Print a Dummy Number, Stores the Image of the Front Cover along with the OMR Data, Tags it with the Image and then all left is simply Scan the Award Sheet. The Process thus becomes so Simple and Easy
With Opex Scanner as they say they can scan as good as 25-30 K booklets in a day which can suffice for scanning like 1 Million Booklets a month, multi-million can be done by a combination of 2-3 such units run by less than 2-3 person per Scanner including Operator and Support Staff. Its a Huge Efficiency /Security and Accuracy which comes with this kind of process. An amateur video of the same process is being shown below
