CDE system is designed to simplify the result process by eliminating tedious paperwork, the need to
manually distribute the answer books amongst the examiners and the marks data entry. It also allows the
examiner to evaluate the answer books from any location. .
Concealed Digital Evaluation System (CDES) is divided into three main parts. They are as follows:
· Examination process using Barcode System
· Answer Book Scanning
· Evaluation by examiners/moderators
An institute can avail the services of the Concealed Evaluation through Barcode system and CDE System to further streamline their examination process.
The answer books are first received from the concerned authorities of the institute. Then, the answer books are sorted subject wise. The UIDs are then pasted on the answer books which are already sorted subject wise. Job cards are generated. The answer books are then scanned with the help of a book scanner without cutting the answer books. The answer books are then stored subject and UID wise
The examiners/moderators are registered in the system with their email ids and mobile numbers. Each examiner will be sent a temporary user id and password with which they can log in the system. Along with that, a unique OTP number is also sent on their registered mobile numbers. The examiners can download the CDE system from the link provided. After logging in the system once, they can change their user ids and password as desired
In this system, the scanning of the answer sheets is done with Book Scanners. So the answer sheets are not
cut. Hence, the answer sheets are always available for retrieval and call back if needed.
The system ensures complete confidentiality of the student information. All the fields that can possibly
reveal the student's identity to the examiner (like name, seat no., picture, etc.) will be concealed digitally.
This reduces the chances of teacher-student bias mark allocation and cheating.
Crucial information like the number of answer sheets
received, the number of pages on each answer sheet,
etc. is recorded with this system. Hence, the
accountability of the answer sheets is maintained.
There is no need of data entry with this system. The
marks allocated by the examiner are directly recorded
in the server database. We thus save a lot of time and
effort. Also, the possibility of the errors that can be
committed during the data entry process is eliminated
completely.
The examiner does not need to manually add all the
marks allocated. The system will automatically add all
the marks from the questions and sub-questions. This
eliminates the chances of any calculation errors. The system is also equipped to handle optional question
marks, exceeding marks or more than maximum marks.
In case a student wants to recheck his answer sheets, the retrieval of the answer sheet is very easy. The
examiner can remove the allocated marks from the
sheet and provide the images to the student. This
eliminates the tedious job of manually covering the
allocated marks during a re-evaluation query. This way,
the re-evaluation process can also be completed at a
quicker pace.
The system provides a real time dashboard as well. That
way, the concerned authority can monitor can every
stage of the entire process closely. It will also help to
identity problem areas easily so that they can be dealt
with without wasting time.
With this system, the institution will save a lot of money
of transportation of answer sheets. The trouble of storing the answer sheets is also done away with. The
system needs very little man power and financial resources of the concerned institution.
In the traditional evaluation process, the examiners are needed to
carry the answer sheets around. Also, maintaining a record of the same
(checked, unchecked) is completely eliminated. With this system, the
examiners are able to evaluate the answer sheets at their own
convenience and without having to worry about keeping a record. The
examiner can work from home or from any place that they wish to.
One does not need to have a good knowledge of
computers to use this system. Its user friendly
and anyone can use it easily.
Examiners are not needed to flip pages and
memorize the marks on every page and then add
them and write it on the front. The system is
capable of calculating and marking it on itself.
The system automatically adds up the allocated
marks. So the examiners are not needed to do the
total calculation
