Automated Question Paper Generation System

Abstract— In today’s age, education is the most important way of achieving success. When we discuss education, it is imperative to mention tests and examination. Examinations prepare students in their quest for knowledge. So, having a proper examination paper and format is quite necessary. Now the traditional method of generating question paper has been manual. In this method certain officials chalk out the question paper. But this method can be ineffective at times owing to bias, repetition and security concerns. We have proposed an Automated process of Question Paper Generation which is fast, streamlined, randomized and secure. Every task performed by this system is automated so that storage space, bias and security is not a concern anymore. Furthermore, we have proposed a new algorithm which ensures total randomization of questions and avoids repetitions. The proposed system can be helpful to many educational institutes and NGO based institutes. A design of suitable automated system for generating question papers and managing related data may prove vital in an Educational Institute. In this paper, we have proposed an integrated automated system that stores questions related to a particular course and prints a question paper based on its syllabus and curriculum. We have implemented a role-based hierarchy which restricts access to the users. The system also deploys security mechanisms that prohibit duplication of question papers. There are provisions to enter and edit data suitable to any educational organization with complete freedom for specifying courses, semesters, syllabus and pattern. This enables an educational institute to generate question ensuring security and non-repetitiveness of question papers and is a boon for organizations with limited staff and resources. < final year projects >
