Watch it work

Exam papers, answer-sheet grading and AI viva, from one question bank.

Apar Exam: papers, grading and viva, with AI

The challenge

It is ten at night. Tomorrow's test still needs a paper.

And an answer key

And a second set, so nobody copies. All by hand.

Tools stop at the paper

The key, a second set and the grading are left to the teacher.

A prompt box forgets the syllabus

No question bank, no board pattern, no chapter weightage.

School software is too heavy

An admin, a contract and training before one paper.

The idea

One exam engine, two products.

How it works

From the syllabus to a graded sheet

Real screens from the demo accounts, with sample data.

01 · Four steps

Board, template, chapters, generate

Pick the board, the class and the subject. Choose a board-pattern template. Set the chapters and their weightage. Then generate.

  • NCERT (CBSE) and NCERT (Hindi) today
  • 11 board-pattern templates: 20, 40 or 80 marks
  • A choice of chapters, never a free-text prompt

How we engineered it

Six ideas behind a paper in under a minute

What makes it fast, and what makes a mark worth trusting.

Written in advance, assembled in seconds

The questions are written and checked ahead of time, so making a paper is assembly, not writing. Assembly takes under two seconds; the paper and its answer key are ready in under a minute.

The pattern comes first

A paper starts from a board pattern: sections, marks and internal choices. Questions are fitted into that frame by chapter weightage and difficulty, so every paper has the shape a board paper has.

Grading starts from what is known

The paper was made here, so its questions, answers and marks are known before a sheet is uploaded. Each answer is checked against that, not against a guess at what was asked.

Each script read its own way

Handwritten Hindi and English answers are read differently, because one way of reading does not suit both scripts. If a sheet can't be read, grading stops instead of guessing.

A credit can't be spent twice

Every credit in and out is an entry with its reason. Two requests at the same moment can't both spend the last credit, and a payment counts only once it is verified.

What leaves the app stays protected

Papers download as copy-protected PDFs: free ones carry the Apar Exam mark, paid ones the school's own name. A shared link shows the paper, never its answer key or the account.
