Automatic question generation system-window application

ABSTARCT :

In today’s age, education is the most important way of achieving success. When we discuss education, it is imperative to mention tests and examination. Examinations prepare students in their quest for knowledge. So, having a proper examination paper and format is quite necessary. Now the traditional method of generating question paper has been manual. In this method certain officials chalk out the question paper. But this method can be ineffective at times owing to bias, repetition and security concerns. We have proposed an Automated process of Question Paper Generation which is fast, streamlined, randomized and secure. Every task performed by this system is automated so that storage space, bias and security is not a concern anymore. Furthermore, we have proposed a new algorithm which ensures total randomization of questions and avoids repetitions. The proposed system can be helpful to many educational institutes and NGO based institutes.

EXISTING SYSTEM :

? The existing system for Question Paper Generation requires human staff to chalk out questions that appear in the question paper. ? These teachers or professors select the questions according to the syllabus and pattern as prescribed by the curriculum. ? The research paper „Framework for Automatic Examination Paper Generation System? has provided a thorough insight into the process of automated paper generation. ? As the manual generation of a balanced question paper by an individual is quite complex, the blending of technology into teaching and learning process is inevitable. ? Our system has revised this existing algorithm by integrating an efficient question marking system in our proposed algorithm.

DISADVANTAGE :

? There is no guarantee of pure randomly generated question paper. Other problems that may plague this system are non-availability of staff and resources, natural calamities and accidents. ? This problem suggests that certain topics require features not available in general-purpose question generators. ? This enables generation of questions relevant to the central point of a sentence and avoids the overgeneration problem of prior work. ? The approach can be implemented with off-the-shelf parsers that provide both a dependency and an SRL parse.

PROPOSED SYSTEM :

• We have proposed an Automated process of Question Paper Generation which is fast, streamlined, randomized and secure. • In this paper, we have proposed an integrated automated system that stores questions related to a particular course and prints a question paper based on its syllabus and curriculum. • The proposed work describes an automated system that progresses from the traditional method of paper generation to an automated process, by providing controlled access to the resources. • We have implemented a role-based hierarchy which restricts access to the users. The system also deploys security mechanisms that prohibit duplication of question papers.

ADVANTAGE :

? We come to know that we need an integrated Question Paper Generation System with improvements in terms of speed, efficiency, controlled access to the resources, randomization of questions and security. ? The system should perform tasks in the fastest way without violating the role-based hierarchy and their access rights policy, provide a central database for data storage, ensure security and optimize the overall performance of the System. ? A simple and efficient way for an examination paper generation is provided. A three tier model is provided in this framework. ? The system introduces a highly efficient shuffling algorithm which uses an array to store randomly generated numbers.
