School Exam Management — Frequently Asked Questions

Questions Principals, exam coordinators, and academic heads ask about SchoolDeck's exam management system.

What is a school exam management system?

A school exam management system handles the complete examination cycle — scheduling, question paper generation, seating arrangement, hall tickets, marks entry, board-specific grading, report card generation, and post-exam analytics. For Indian schools, this includes CBSE CCE with FA/SA marks and CGPA, ICSE percentage-based marksheets, State Board formats, and NEP 2020 Holistic Progress Cards — all in one platform without separate spreadsheets.

Does SchoolDeck support CBSE CCE grading with FA/SA and CGPA?

Yes. Teachers enter FA1/FA2/FA3/FA4 and SA1/SA2 marks per subject. The CBSE formula is applied automatically — FA marks (40%) and SA marks (60%) combined into annual marks, then converted to grade points. CGPA is calculated with A1/A2/B1/B2/C1/C2/D/E grade bands. Report card generated in CBSE Sahodaya format. NEP 2020 Holistic Progress Card also generated with co-scholastic area tracking.

Can SchoolDeck generate question papers automatically for CBSE and ICSE?

Yes. The AI question paper generator creates papers from the school's question bank based on a configurable blueprint — difficulty distribution, question type mix (MCQ, Short Answer, Long Answer, Case-Based), chapter weightage, and Bloom's Taxonomy cognitive level. Supports CBSE Section A/B/C/D structure, CBSE Class 10/12 board paper patterns, and competency-based question formats under NEP 2020.

How does exam seating arrangement work in SchoolDeck?

The algorithm distributes students across exam rooms ensuring no two students from the same class section are seated adjacent — the standard Indian school anti-cheating requirement. Considers room capacity and any special seating needs. Generates printable seating charts per room in minutes — replacing 3–5 days of manual spreadsheet layout before every exam.

Can SchoolDeck generate hall tickets with student photos?

Yes. Hall tickets generated as PDFs include the student's photo from the student database, registration number, complete exam schedule (subjects, dates, timings, room number), and school-specified exam rules. Generated in bulk for all students. Students with outstanding fees can be flagged — their hall tickets withheld pending fee clearance.

Does SchoolDeck support online MCQ assessment with anti-cheating?

Yes. Window-locking prevents tab switching during the test. Questions and options are randomised — each student gets a different order, making answer sharing ineffective. Strict timer enforces exam duration. Results auto-graded on submission. Negative marking configurable. Used for CBSE internal assessments, unit tests, and pre-board practice papers.

Does SchoolDeck support ICSE and State Board report card formats?

Yes. Pre-built templates for ICSE (percentage-based with practical marks), ISC, Maharashtra SSC/HSC, Tamil Nadu SSLC, Rajasthan RBSE, UP Board, Karnataka KSEAB, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, West Bengal WBBSE, Bihar BSEB, Kerala DHSE/SSLC, and Gujarat GSEB. Each template applies the correct grading pattern, subject list, and section format for the board.

What is the NEP 2020 Holistic Progress Card and can SchoolDeck generate it?

Yes. The NEP 2020 HPC assesses students on academic performance plus co-scholastic areas — social and personal qualities, health and physical activities, and co-curricular activities. SchoolDeck generates the complete HPC with all sections: competency-based academic performance, co-scholastic area ratings (Outstanding/Very Good/Good/Satisfactory/Needs Improvement), and teacher remarks per student.

Can teacher-entered marks be verified before results are published?

Yes. Marks entry uses a Maker-Checker workflow. Subject teachers enter marks (Maker). Academic coordinator reviews and approves (Checker) before report cards are generated. Post-lock corrections require Principal-level approval — logged in the audit trail with staff ID and timestamp. Prevents errors from reaching parents and provides a complete correction history.

What post-exam analytics does SchoolDeck provide for school Principals?

Subject heatmaps showing chapter-level weak areas across the class, student-level performance vs class average, section-wise comparison within the same grade, merit list and rank generation, year-on-year performance comparison for the same exam, at-risk student flagging, and teacher-level result analysis. All available from the Principal dashboard on result publication day — no manual report compilation.
