What were the unique requirements of MBZUAI

essential features of online exams

The subjects of interest for MBZUI were largely related to the mathematics and artificial intelligence, the question contained large formulae and complex questions which are surely much different than the questions asked in other conventional examinations

Apart from this, the MBZUAI wanted to keep exams stringent and malpractice free in order to maintain the quality of the internal assessments and select the students of high caliber to take admission at their progressively modern institute.

How Eklavvya could deliver the service to MBZUAI’s niche needs

Eklavvya supported the use of complex mathematical formulae in the system, Eklavvya comes with the integration of LaTex, using which it is easy to import highly complex mathematical formulae in the question, apart from this, such questions which were already available in the word format could be directly used as a question by making their images.

The solution provided to MBZUAI was proctored technology-enabled, while the exams were ongoing, the assigned invigilator could watch the videos of the examinees with their prior permission, this was achieved by getting videos from the web cameras of the candidate’s computer device. This made the examinations strict and significantly prevented malpractice during the examination. The proctors (Online invigilators) could pause, resume and terminate the examinations of candidates as and when needed.
