While our educational system is heading to embrace technology, we have less number of startups actually creating breakthrough at grass root level in the space. With intention to create difference in educational space SrushtiSoft has launched two products QuickQuest and Examinater. Lets have a look at these two products in detail:

Quick Quest: Quick Quest is an advanced software solution that assists educators in organizing a subject specific question-answer bank and generating question papers in a customizable format.

Quick Quest’s template mechanism helps to set question paper pattern in any possible format; it will then choose questions based on difficulty parameters, syllabus and other quality criteria to produce ‘complexity balanced question paper’. There are administrator, educator and data entry user login types that control user access rights and operational scope. The professors or teachers, who are enrolled under educator account type, can generate a unique question paper at a click on ‘Generate’ button after choosing their desired subject and question paper pattern template.

“There are chances that the external examiner may decline to evaluate thesis if the subject of thesis is other than their area of expertise. University has to manage nominating another examiner and initiate the evaluation process. If the thesis dissertation result is positive, the candidate is called for viva exam and viva report will be accepted by the university to announce the final result,” added Gayakwad.

Currently, considerable number of universities are still following traditional mode of communication (postal service) communication and collaboration. Examinater replaced traditional postal mail services for communications by emails, color coded thesis status tracking mechanism for quicker and accurate trace, and secured token based online marks submissions eliminate logistic problems and one click meaningful report generations accelerate whole thesis evaluation process.
