answer sheet usually consists of bubbles that are options for the questions asked. This sheet is

usually separate from the question paper. The student has to refer to the question and mark the

answer on the answer sheet by filling a bubble with pen or pencil (as suggested in the instructions).

Recognition) and OCR (Optical Character Recognition) can detect and read handwritten text (name,

roll no. subject, etc.) and images too. Such software can also read barcodes. Here are a few things
