Exam Invigilation DutyExam

Abstract

Examinations are the most crucial section of
any educational system. They are intended to measure
student's knowledge, skills and aptitude. At any
institute, a great deal of manual effort is required to
plan and arrange examination. It includes making
seating arrangement for students as well as supervision
duty chart for invigilators. Many institutes performs
this task manually using excel sheets. This results in
excessive wastage of time and manpower. Automating
the entire system can help solve the stated problem
efficiently saving a lot of time. This paper presents the
automatic exam seating allocation. It works in two
modules First as, Students Seating Arrangement (SSA)
and second as, Supervision Duties Allocation (SDA). It
assigns the classrooms and the duties to the teachers in
any institution. An input-output data is obtained from
the real system which is found out manually by the
organizers who set up the seating arrangement and
chalk out the supervision duties. The results obtained
using the real system and these two models are
compared. The application shows that the modules are
highly efficient, low-cost, and can be widely used in
various colleges and universities.
