On-Screen Marking for State Exam Boards & DTEs
State exam boards process lakhs of answer scripts across hundreds of institutions every exam cycle. MAPLES OSM handles the complete workflow — from physical booklet inwarding and scanning to evaluator assignment, marking, moderation, and result publication.
The Challenge for State Boards
Geographic Spread
Evaluators are distributed across the state — coordinating physical valuation camps is expensive and logistically complex.
Scale
Lakhs of answer scripts per exam cycle, across hundreds of institutions and dozens of subjects.
Integrity
Student anonymity, fraud prevention, and tamper-proof evaluation are non-negotiable for public examinations.
Timeline Pressure
Results are expected within 30 days. Manual processes routinely overshoot this deadline.
How MAPLES OSM Solves It
Built-in Scanning Infrastructure
50 scanning stations with overhead cameras, QR validation, and automatic page ordering — no third-party scanning vendor required.
State-wide Remote Evaluation
Evaluators mark scripts from anywhere in the state through a secure browser-based interface. No valuation camps needed.
Script Randomization
Automatic stripping of student identity before distribution. Scripts are randomized across evaluators to prevent bias.
Double Valuation
Built-in double valuation with automatic discrepancy detection and third-evaluator assignment when marks diverge.
Multi-layer Moderation
Moderator review, chief examiner oversight, and automated warning systems for unusual marking patterns.
9-Point Result Validation
Automated result processing with nine validation checks — eliminates manual data entry errors entirely.
Face Recognition Proctoring
Evaluator identity verified through face recognition at random intervals during marking sessions.
Real-time Dashboards
Live progress tracking for administrators — scripts evaluated, pending, moderated, and validated across all subjects.
Case Study: DOTE Tamil Nadu
The Directorate of Technical Education (DOTE), Tamil Nadu, uses MAPLES OSM to digitally evaluate polytechnic exam answer scripts across the state — one of the largest on-screen marking deployments in India.
Key Outcomes
- Results timeline reduced from 90 days to 30 days
- 50% reduction in evaluation costs — no physical valuation camps
- Complete audit trail for every mark and annotation
- Zero script mishandling or loss incidents
- Evaluator anonymity maintained across all subjects
