Result & Discussion: The students results for the MCQ are shown at the moment but we have the options of subjective type questions which are needed as at the moment. We don’t have such technology which can evaluate the subjective type question precisely as every student has their own way of writing the question so it is difficult for the system. We have of the option of making a system where one can evaluate all the given answers on an online portal without the involvement of pen and paper.

Future work: Developments in software technology are continuing dynamically. This has forced developers to look for new approaches to design and development. In order to face this situation, the modules in a package should be upgraded any time.
