MEANING
Online examinations, also known as e-examination enables examiners to conduct
exams using the internet or a company-wide intranet for remote candidates. It
requires candidates to answer questions within a pre-decided timeframe. The test
window collapses once the exam is over, and the institute get real- time reports.
Evaluators then assess the answers and grade accordingly. The fully automated
system supports objective evaluation and helps generate results faster than in a
traditional exam format.
Online examination system is a cost-effective, scalable way to convert traditional
pen and paper based exams to online and paperless mode. Candidates can appear
for the exam using any desktop, laptop, or mobile device with a browser.
Most online exams include answer processing modules, allowing evaluators to
issue results moments after the candidates complete the test. However, evaluators
assess the answers in-person for long- answer type questions where results are not
automated. The result of online exams is conveyed to the candidates via e-mail or
published on the institute’s website.

assemble in classroom to take the exam. They can do it within a given time
frame from their own device. You don’t have to rent a classroom or have to hire

DEMERITS OF ONLINE EXAMINATIONS:-
Challenges of tech: While the tech side of online exams is a big advantage, it can
also pose some challenges. The transition from traditional pen and paper to
online may be difficult for some, especially older learners who are not computer
literate.
Infrastructure problems: One of the biggest hurdles of online exams is learners
access to technology, including computers, tablets or a stable internet connection
mainly in rural areas.
Susceptible to cheating: No matter what platform an exam is taken on, there will
always be cheating. Online exams can be vulnerable to cheating like screen
sharing with other exam takers, doing online searches during exam, or plugging in
an external drive with answers.
Difficulty in Grading Long Answer type: Even though pnline exams have eased
the invigilator’s job, the problem arises mostly with long answer type questions.
Subjective answers require manual grading, for which examiners need to nvest
additional time.
Internet Dependency: Internet dependency is a vulnerability of conducting
online exams. A challenge here is the net stability given the fact that is dependent
on the weather and signal.

Computer Literacy: Another apparent challenge for conducting online exams
would be illiteracy of computer skills. Since it is still the age when the old and
familiar overlaps with the new, schools are still in transition to adopting online
education.
Limitations in question type: Online exams are administered through a system
that is self evaluated. Although teachers in the first place design the exam
questions a major limitation is that these questions are best evaluated close-
ended.
Lack of proctoring: The integrity of the examinee is the most questionable in an
online exam. A student can be anywhere so how can the examiner know if the
person is the same who registered for the exam.
Poor correlation with Understanding System: The time limit within which the
students have to attempt the exam only enables them to assess their speed. Sadly,
speed and performance are not correlated as students who finish the exam first
are considered to be brilliant.
Communication with exam candidates: An online exam is conducted across
multiple locations. It is essential that communication with remote candidates is
conducted seamlessly to clarify any doubts regarding any process. This will ensure
the smooth execution of the exam.

FLOWCHART OF ONLINE EXAMINATION:-

CONCLUSION:-
Online examination system for introduction to management course is the best
compared to traditional system. The automated system helps students and
lecturers to save time and makes the process faster. It saves space since answer
papers will not be used. With a user friendly system that has high security,
integrity and the database is neither inconsistent or redundant.
Although there are pros and cons to every type of examination system, and each
educational institution should evaluate the different systems to see which will
better meet their specific needs. While it’s easy for institutions to stick with
traditional pen and paper exams, global events have forced the education industry
to rethink how they operate. Online exams have many advantages, and as
technology keeps improving, these advantages will become the standard for
course evaluation.
