e-Parakh: Unsupervised Online Examination System

Abstract

Online examinations have become the norm, owing to the global Covid-19 pandemic in various academic settings such as schools, colleges etc... and even for job selection. The existing applications in this space, do not assure against fraudulent practices, though some of them are highly restrictive and constrain the candidates severely. We propose our system e-Parakh, an online examination system that can be used by the candidate even from his mobile phone app, which significantly reduces the resource requirements and therefore the cost involved for the candidate. The application also facilitates both supervised and unsupervised remote monitoring of the examination, through a variety of techniques including live video and audio streaming of not only the candidate, but also the candidate's surrounding environment, liveliness check of the candidate, facial comparison of the candidate with his/her photograph etc.. This application provides the evaluator to cross-check the candidate activity at any time during the examination as well as after the examination by recording the whole video and audio.
