Minimum Technical Specification for the Examination Management System (EMS)

for all theUniversities/Colleges in Karnataka (Pre & Post Examination/Evaluation, Result Processing & Dissemination)

The proposed Examination Management System would cover the following important features of the examination and evaluation activities of all the universities/colleges in the state.

• Retrieval of data from the Admission Database System • Students confirmation to write the examination of various subjects • Provision to make Examination fee payment through e-Payment mode • Creation of Examination Centres • Assignment of students to Examination centres/Hall • Generation of Nominal roll examination centre/hall wise • Provision to down load the Admission Ticket/Hall Ticket through online • Online Web portal to monitor the Logistic support of distribution of Answer

Booklets,Enter the used and un-used Answer booklets with internal secured coding

• Provision to read Barcode values printed on the Answer booklets for internal security and audit trail

• Provision to scan Answer Booklets to the assigned scanning station • Provision to upload the scanned images on fly directly to the portal as and

when scanning completes • Online system for Evaluators registration • Assignment of credentials to Evaluators to access the Evaluation portal • Assignment of Answer Script to Evaluators by Registrar Evaluation • EASE – Electronic Answer Script Evaluation system for digital evaluation • Provision to monitor the Evaluation process in terms of AAA Authentication

Authorization Audit trail • Provision to view Model Answers, Score board to enter question wise

secured marks, sticky notes for later reference for the concerned evaluator only

• Provision for instantaneous result process and dissemination The proposed EASE (E-Answer Scripts Evaluation) system is part of EMS and requiresBPR (Business Process Re-engineering) for an efficient and effective implementation which mentioned below.

I. Pre Examination Activities a. Provision of printing water marking in all pages of the Abs (Answer

Booklets)

b. Assigning and printing of Unique Identification code in each Answer Booklet(AB)including for all pages of the AB using random number generation process with Barcode system

c. Provision to record unique identification number and the page wise random number of each AB in to the centralised server using web access mode

d. Provision to Monitor the logistic support of ABs distribution to every examination centre from the agency who prints all ABs, confirmation of receipts of ABs by universities and onward distribution to examination centres

e. Provision to track the status of the ABs as against the distribution to various examination centre on a daily basis

II. Examination Activities a. Provision to update the usage of ABs examination centre wise

namely the used and un used ABs on a day-to-day basis once the examination started and before the completion of the examination

b. Collection and segregation of ABs in terms of used and unused ABs and to keep ready to send to scanning centres for scanning

III. Post Examination Activities a. Pre Scanning process

Assign addl. Identification mapping mark for each ABs/bundle and form a group of ABs to a particular scanning station like subject wise, date wise, packet/parcel wise, area wise, cluster wise (if any), examination centre wise with proper accountability for further monitoring

Provision to record the distribution of set of ABs to the scanning stations with internal mapping of key values of the ABs visa-vice ABs ID number, examination centre, date, subject, etc

b. Scanning process Use high end scanner which shall have provision to capture

image of the ABs and save as PDFfile format in the portal including the water mark of the ABs

The scanned image of the AB is called as AS – Answer Script which is in PDF file format and should be saved in the portal only using specialised API of NIC (not in the local PC/desktop/Laptop system)

The API would be developed by NIC using the DLL of scanner manufacturer(OEM)/DLL from the agency

Scanner shall have a capability to read the barcode value of the ABs in all pages and the OMR parameters of the ABs in to a memory variable (Metadata) for onward transmission on fly to the back end database system at RGUHDS through a secure channel

Ensure that the PDF image created in the above step should not be stored locally

Use NIC’s API/Component on fly to store the PDF image (AS) and memory variable (Metadata) in to the Sharepoint Portal(SPP) at the centralised database system with AAA concept

Scanning station should create only one compressed PDF file (AS)forall pages of the concerned AB in the name specified
