AI-Driven Automation in Modern Education Systems.
🟢 Overview
Two AI-powered solutions were developed to automate academic tasks:
- Question Paper Generation System
- Answer sheet Evaluation Platform
These systems were designed to reduce manual workload, improve accuracy, and offer customization for educators, streamlining academic workflows with AI integration.
🔴 Challenges Faced
Several challenges arose during the development process:
- Relevance & Difficulty Levels: Ensuring generated questions align with the syllabus and maintain appropriate difficulty.
- Hand-Drawn Figure Extraction: Accurately processing hand-drawn figures in examinee answers posed a significant challenge, especially with varying quality.
- Customizable Templates & Editing: Balancing flexibility with ease of use for creating exam papers.
- Fair Evaluation of Subjective Answers: Developing a system that fairly evaluates long-answer and essay-type questions.
- Export Formats: Supporting multiple formats (PDF, DOCX, JSON).
- Usability for Non-Technical Users: Ensuring examiner could use the systems without technical expertise.
🟡 Solutions Implemented
- AI-Based Question Paper Generation
- Customized UI for Inputs: Simple interface for examiner to customize subjects, grade levels, and exam sections.
- Prompt-Based Question Generation: examiner can modify questions via text prompts with LLMs like OpenAI/Groq.
- Export & History Tracking: Easy exports in PDF and other formats, with generation history tracked for reference.
- Intelligent Paper Generation & Evaluation
- Syllabus Upload & Question Paper Generation: Based on the provided syllabus, the AI generates relevant exam questions aligned with the content.
- Template-Driven Question Paper Creation: Supports multiple types of question formats, with DOCX/JSON support for customization.
- AI-Based Evaluation: Scanned answer sheets are evaluated with feedback and scoring provided automatically.
- Export Support: Supporting multiple formats (PDF, DOCX, JSON).
🟢 Results Achieved
