The examinations should be conducted in a standardized and fair manner. While all efforts are being made to prevent the use of unfair means during the conduct of examinations physically through surveillance by appointment of outside observers or flying squads and use of CCTVs, CBSE has taken advance steps to trace the cases. have picked up. Have decided to improve it further by using data analysis. There are high chances of resorting to unfair means during the examination at the centres.
Developing algorithms to identify suspicious data patterns:
Based on the results of the analysis and the algorithm developed, CBSE has decided that such analysis will be extended to other administered examinations. A pilot analysis has been conducted on January 2021 CTET exam data in collaboration with Central Square Foundation (CSF) and Play Power Labs to develop algorithms to identify suspicious data patterns at the center and individual test taker level.
To strengthen the credibility of examinations:
Appropriate measures may be taken by CBSE to strengthen the credibility of the examinations and to prevent any such malpractices in future.
On the basis of such analysis, Board aims to identify examination centres where the data indicates the existence of malpractices during the conduct of examinations.
CBSE will use advanced data analytics to find out, answer:
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will use advanced data analytics to detect, respond to and therefore prevent any irregularities in academic examination in the long run in all major examinations administered by CBSE in the country. It will be used to strengthen the credibility of National Achievement Survey (NAS), Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) and board examinations conducted by CBSE.
CBSE implements “Blockchain” for its results and academic documents:
Reliable and verifiable means. It is set up using block chain technology to record certificates in a linked chain structure. CBSE has technical collaboration with Center of Excellence for Block Chain Technology. CBSE applies another “emerging technology” i.e. “Blockchain” to its results and academic documents.
Tampering and paperless use of certificates:
The introduction of the academic blockchain document has resulted in the transparent, tamper-proof and paperless use of certificates. It has also reduced the time taken for verification and paperwork to a great extent.
How it can be used:
