PROCTORING

Subject: Science and tech

Context: Proctored exams are viewed as a technological solution to curb malpractises exercised during online exams.

Concept:

Proctoring enables students to write a test online in a remote location, while maintaining the integrity of the test. Students must confirm their identity and they may be monitored through video. That video is then used to flag any irregular student behaviour.

Types:

• Auto proctoring : Highly Supported by AI ,which flags suspicious events and provide a vast ability to continuously track a large number of candidates.
• Live proctoring: It incorporates real human with technology. An invigilator sits and controls the video feeds with live proctoring.
• Image proctoring: It provides flexibility to the invigilator to monitor the images of students captured during exams.

Additional Information: The Ministry of HRD conducted the first-ever Indian Scholastic Assessment (IND-SAT) Test 2020 under its ‘Study in India’ programme.

The exam is conducted in the proctored internet mode by the National Testing Agency.
