01 The problem

Same exam. Three weeks apart.

Follow one semester exam at a typical college, on paper and on ExamPin. Exam day is the same. Everything around it is not.

23 days of waiting, gone
~3 weeks

Students wait for results

Marking, totalling and data entry stretch out long after the exam. Placements and supplementaries wait with them.

6 hand-offs

Where a paper can leak

Press, packets, couriers, centres, evaluators, office. Every hand that touches a paper is a risk you carry.

Every total

Typed in by hand

Each mark is added up and keyed in by a person, and every mistake comes back as a re-totalling request.

A typical timeline from Indian colleges we work with. Yours may be shorter or longer; the steps are the same.

02 The cost

Every rupee per answer script, line by line. Pick a starting point, then move the sliders to your own office’s numbers.

How we calculate
  • Scripts a year = students × objective exams per student.
  • Paper cost per script = pages × printing per page + answer sheet + marking + handling.
  • ExamPin running cost per script = lab power: a computer at about 0.15 kW for a one-hour exam at ₹9 a unit, about ₹1.35.
  • Not counted on either side: invigilators and lab rooms (you need them both ways), and the ExamPin licence, which we quote per institution.
  • Objective exams only. Descriptive answers still need a teacher, though ExamPin collects them and totals the marks.

03 The difference

Five things a paper exam can never do.

Same day

Results before the lab empties

Drop the folder of answer files into the console. Every script is marked, totalled and checked for tampering in one go.

1 glance

Malpractice you can see from the door

Each screen’s header turns amber, then red. The invigilator knows which seat to walk to.

0 keys

No answer key in the exam hall

The lab gets questions only. The key stays sealed in the cloud until your exam cell marks.

0 answers lost

Power cuts don’t cost a single answer

Saved every few seconds. The exam resumes where it stopped, and the time away still counts.

₹0 hardware

Runs on the labs you already have

Windows, macOS or Linux, old or new. No servers to run, no internet in the exam hall, nothing new to buy.

  • Windows
  • macOS
  • Linux
  • Offline in the hall

04 The product

One console for your whole exam cell.

Create the paper, build the exam, look up a student’s password and mark the answer files, all in a web browser. No software to install for your staff.

A paper that can’t go out half-done

Set the question plan first. The exam won’t build until every question and every mark matches it.

Named the way your office files them

University, subject, exam type and date form the exam name, so no two papers are ever confused.

Preview exactly what students see

Check every question, passage and image in the exam’s own layout before a single student sits down.

How it works

From a blank paper to published results in four steps.

Nothing to install for your faculty, and nothing in the lab that needs the internet.

01

Write the paper in your browser

Multiple choice, true or false, passages, descriptive questions and images. Or import a whole question bank from Excel.

02

Build a sealed exam

One click turns the paper into an exam file for the lab. The answer key stays sealed in the cloud, never inside the file.

03

Students sign in and write

Each student gets a personal password. The screen locks, the clock starts, and the invigilator can relax.

04

Drop the folder, get the results

ExamPin recognises the exam from the answer files themselves, flags any file that doesn’t belong, and marks the rest.

05 Trust

Nothing else on the screen. Nothing slips by.

From the moment the exam opens until it is submitted, it is the only thing a student can use, and every attempt to leave is written down.

Invigilators read the room by colour

The top of every exam screen changes colour with behaviour. One glance from the front of the lab is enough.

Data Structures · SemesterWhiteAll normal
Data Structures · SemesterAmberSome suspicious key presses
Data Structures · SemesterRedMany attempts, or tried to leave the exam

Locked full screen

Taskbars, menus and other apps are out of reach. If anything pulls focus away, the exam takes it straight back.

Every attempt on record

Answering is mouse-only. Key presses, attempts to leave and screenshots all land in the results sheet.

No copy, paste or screenshots

Question text can’t be selected, and the clipboard is wiped every second.

Second screens go dark

Extra monitors are blanked, and only one exam can run per computer.

Sealed from paper to result

The answer key never enters the exam hall.

Question papers leak when keys travel with them. ExamPin splits the two the moment an exam is built, and joins them again only in your exam cell.

  1. Exam cell

    Paper written

    Questions and the correct answers go into the console.

  2. Cloud

    Key sealed

    On build, the answer key is locked away under the exam’s fingerprint.

  3. Exam hall

    Questions only

    The lab gets an exam file with no answers in it. Students write offline.

  4. Exam cell

    Matched and marked

    Each answer file’s fingerprint finds its exam and its sealed key.

A fingerprint nobody sees

Every exam gets its own hidden fingerprint, even two builds of the same paper. It travels inside each answer file, out of sight.

Edits are caught

An answer file changed after the exam is flagged automatically in the results.

A hardened exam client

The exam software sent to labs is scrambled, so it is hard to read or tamper with.

Everything included

FAQ

Questions universities ask first.

Something else on your mind? Ask us in your demo request.

Do we need new computers, a server or internet?

No new computers and no server of your own. The exam runs on the Windows, macOS or Linux computers already in your labs, with no internet while students write. Your exam cell uses the ExamPin console in a web browser to create exams and mark them.

Can the answer key leak from the lab?

No. The exam file that goes to the lab holds only the questions. The answer key is sealed in the cloud the moment the exam is built, and is used only when your exam cell marks the answer files.

What if answer files from different exams get mixed up?

Every exam has its own hidden fingerprint, and every answer file carries it. ExamPin finds the right exam on its own, and any file from a different exam is flagged before marking instead of being marked against the wrong key.

How much can we really save?

Use the savings calculator above with your own numbers. Most of the saving comes from paper, printing, answer booklets and manual evaluation, all of which go away for objective exams. Transport, storage and re-evaluation requests come on top.

Can students cheat or get out of the exam?

The exam takes over the whole screen, blocks copy, paste and screenshots, blanks extra monitors and records every attempt to leave. A few operating-system shortcuts can’t be blocked by any app, so the exam takes the screen straight back, records the attempt and turns the header red for the invigilator.

What if the power goes out?

Nothing is lost. Answers are saved every few seconds, and the exam resumes exactly where it stopped. The time away still counts, so nobody gains extra time.

What kinds of questions does it support?

Multiple choice (including more than one correct answer), true or false, and comprehension passages are marked automatically. Descriptive answers are collected too, and faculty enter those marks right beside the objective score.

How long does it take to get started?

Very little. Faculty write papers in a simple browser editor or import them from Excel, and preview each question exactly as students will see it. Most institutions start with a demo, pilot one lab, then roll out.

What does it cost?

It depends on the size of your institution and how you run exams. Book a free demo and we’ll put together a plan with you.
