In this paper there is a proposal for a
question bank based paper setting system. In the
proposed model the major stakeholders are members of
the examination control unit, Paper setters, chief
moderator who will act as administrator. Faculty
members are paper setters who will provide the set of
questions to the admins who will insert them into the
database. The questions are stored in a database along
with their weightage, topic, subject and difficulty level.
Whenever there is a need to set the paper, the system
selects questions randomly in a way that their weight age
makes up for 100 marks . The paper setter has an option
to select how many difficult questions and how many
easy questions should be present in the generated paper.
Paper setting process is very flexible. Generated paper is
converted to a pdf file and emailed to colleges on button
