Background• JEE (Main)

High-stakes examination for which students from across the country spend

significant amounts of time practising to maximise their score

While preparation for examinations is a very useful learning tool, it starts to have a

negative impact on broader learning when the focus is purely on “practising for the

test”

The fact that students are paying significant amounts of money to have this tuition is

also impacting on the “social fabric” of society

Scope and Coverage of Solution• The CBSE - CAER is proposing to develop an item bank of JEE (Main) items which

students preparing for the JEE can access online. These items will be linked to

learning materials which are designed to help students improve their learning

• All candidates (nationally and internationally) would have access to this powerful

“learning” tool which will addresses some of the concerns outlined in the previous

slide in that the focus is on learning

• It is designed to identify areas of potential weakness; promulgate corrective

strategies that have been identified through an analysis of the assessment items;

and, give further practice examples from similar JEE items which assess the same

skill to make sure that the student has understood the concept

• The intention is to utilise ICT tools to make the learning more interactive

Motivation

On the initiative of MHRD a large number of e-learning projects have been initiated under thehead NMEICT in last one decade

Most of the project however either focused oncontent creation or content dissemination.

Question: How the e-content has helped in raisingthe standard of engineering education in thecountry?

While the NPTEL courses put thrust onfundamentals and logical development of thesubject, the examinations in most of theuniversities test how well the subject content ismemorized.

50

Page 52: thList of Presentations held on 27 May 2014 - · PDF filethList of Presentations held on 27 May 2014 1. ... •Study of the Structure of Grade XII Question Papers ... papers of Board

How to make the e-content more usable

To make the e-content more usable, two things areimperative: Integration of the e-content developed under

NMEICT in the university curriculum Designing the question paper that is

commensurate with the content.

51

Page 53: thList of Presentations held on 27 May 2014 - · PDF filethList of Presentations held on 27 May 2014 1. ... •Study of the Structure of Grade XII Question Papers ... papers of Board

Present Examination System (1/2)

Most of the technical colleges in India are affiliatedto a parent university

The affiliating university forms the syllabi for thesubjects and conducts examination for all subjectsin all semesters

The central control of the examination makes theexamination vulnerable to many factors likeavailability of qualified paper setters, distributionof the exam material etc.

Many times it becomes difficult to find a goodpaper setter.

Also there is always a fear of leakage of thequestion paper in a large university system

52

Page 54: thList of Presentations held on 27 May 2014 - · PDF filethList of Presentations held on 27 May 2014 1. ... •Study of the Structure of Grade XII Question Papers ... papers of Board

Present Examination System (2/2)

The question papers invariably test onlymemorizing capability of the students instead oftesting the in-depth understanding of the subject,logical reasoning and analytical capability.

The questions are typically descriptive type. Even if there are analytical questions, the same

questions repeat and students memorize even theanalytical problems.

53

Page 55: thList of Presentations held on 27 May 2014 - · PDF filethList of Presentations held on 27 May 2014 1. ... •Study of the Structure of Grade XII Question Papers ... papers of Board

The way forward …

It is therefore apparent that there is a need todevelop high quality examination system which isaligned with the quality e-content created under theNMEICT project.

Through this platform all universities can setquestion papers of same high standard.

Also it will take away all the problem associatedwith the paper distribution logistics.

The question papers can be set and (re-set if needarises) by the stroke of a key and can bedistributed instantly.

54

Anatomy of an Exam In technical subjects, the exam should test:

Knowledge of basic principles . Application of the basic principles to define an

engineering problem . Solving the problem following systematic steps using

analytical tools .

55

Page 57: thList of Presentations held on 27 May 2014 - · PDF filethList of Presentations held on 27 May 2014 1. ... •Study of the Structure of Grade XII Question Papers ... papers of Board

Basic Philosophy of the Project If a large number of problems are created to meet

these objectives, a quality examination can beconducted by any university even if there is shortageof highly qualified paper setters and limited logistic.

One may wonder that by creating a question bank, willthe exam become known!

Indeed the questions will be known to all the studentsbut if the number of questions is large (few hundred tothousand per subject) knowledge of thousandquestions is as good as knowing the full subject.

Further, from a given numerical problem infinitenumber of problems can be generated by changingjust the numerical values.

56

Methodology The e-Exam needs development at two levels.

Creation of question bank and its dynamic solutionmanual.

Development of a system which can assemblequestions to create a question paper of desiredcomposition.

While the first component requires subject experts andtechnical manpower, the later needs general softwaredevelopers.

Thus we will have:Question Paper Composing PlatformDynamic Problem Solution Platform

57

Page 59: thList of Presentations held on 27 May 2014 - · PDF filethList of Presentations held on 27 May 2014 1. ... •Study of the Structure of Grade XII Question Papers ... papers of Board

Creation of Question Bank and the Solution Manual (1/2)

First the subjects that are needed by large number ofcolleges at the UG level and which are not descriptivetype will be identified.

This will be followed by identifying SMEs who candevelop the desired e-question bank.

The SMEs will be encouraged to compile all possiblequestions from past university exams and othercompetitive exams.

The SME will then study the commonality of thequestions and will create questions which meets thepedagogy criteria defined above.

The SME will create questions which will test allpossible ways through which the knowledge can betested. 58

Page 60: thList of Presentations held on 27 May 2014 - · PDF filethList of Presentations held on 27 May 2014 1. ... •Study of the Structure of Grade XII Question Papers ... papers of Board

Creation of Question Bank and the Solution Manual (2/2)

For a typical course, it is expected to develop a fewhundred questions which will cover all aspects of thecourse.

The questions will be of different complexity levelwhich will be indicated by the marks attached to aquestion or by typical time needed to solve thequestion.

Once the basic question banks are created, a dynamicsolution manual will be created.

The dynamic solution is a dedicated program for eachquestion, which can be run for different numericalvalues for the input data.

The SMEs would end up creating a lot of IP !59

Page 61: thList of Presentations held on 27 May 2014 - · PDF filethList of Presentations held on 27 May 2014 1. ... •Study of the Structure of Grade XII Question Papers ... papers of Board

For example …

Type of questions: one mark question could be just memory type, two marks question could be of direct application

of a formula type with small calculation, three, four, five mark questions could be of

multiple calculation nature. To provide flexibility to the paper setter, the subject

will be divided in large number of modules andquestions for different marks will be created for eachmodule.

There will also be complex questions which will runacross the multiple modules.

60

Page 62: thList of Presentations held on 27 May 2014 - · PDF filethList of Presentations held on 27 May 2014 1. ... •Study of the Structure of Grade XII Question Papers ... papers of Board

Creation of a Question Paper The paper composition strategy is defined by the paper

setter and therefore a platform needs to be createdwhich can use paper setter defined parameters tocompose a question paper.

A course is divided into small modules and each modulewill have a question bank of different complexity levelsand different marks.

A university first will define the syllabus by choosing aset of modules from the modules of the e-contentdeveloped under the content development project.

The syllabus is made available to the paper setter. The paper setter will define the format of the paper i.e.,

what is the weightage given to different modules andnumber of questions in different complexity groups.

61

Page 63: thList of Presentations held on 27 May 2014 - · PDF filethList of Presentations held on 27 May 2014 1. ... •Study of the Structure of Grade XII Question Papers ... papers of Board

Finally… The program then will assemble questions to create a

question paper. The paper setter will be given flexibility to look at the

individual questions and ask for an alternativequestion if needed.

The alternative question will be randomly picked upfrom the question bank.

The paper setting program can use information of theprevious years' question papers to avoid repetition.The paper setter can iterate till s/he gets a satisfactoryquestion paper.

At this stage the paper setter can freeze the questionpaper and can ask for a solution which can be keptconfidential with the controlling authority.

Views of Prof. KV RK Acharyulu, Ex-HoD, Vyakarana, RSVP, Tirupati & Ex-VC, JRRSU

•“It is no doubt a good project. Textual teaching, recording connecting the content and references and illustrations is one task. In addition to that, there should be discourses on topics giving different opinions of various shastrakaras giving the original texts as reference in a chronological manner. For this we can take "shabdabodhamimamsa" as an example. Consolidation of syllabi in each sastra is also required. There are recordings of some sastric texts in some institutions which can be utilized or edited as per the goal of the project. Hence getting information about the available content is the first task”.
