For holding a paperless examination, the college collaborated with IPOMO for tech related assistance and conducted the exam successfully. The company has uploaded the question paper with the help of Mobile Mark Recognise (MMR) technology. The college had issued guidelines to the company for uploading the question paper.

Interestingly, the question papers have an ABCD series so that no student gets the same question paper. This would definitely prevent malpractices and cheating during the examinations.

On the day of the exam, every student was given with a code, and they needed to scan the quick response code before taking the exam. The tab did not respond or start until the designated exam time slot began. The students were able complete the examination only after clicking the submit button at the end.
