Benefits of conducting exams remotely
The main reason you should consider is the overwhelming advantages you get from using an remote exam system instead of the good old fashioned pen-and-paper or computer-based exams. Some of the prominent benefits of conducting exams remotely include (but are not limited to):
-
Ease of access: One of the significant advantages of adopting a remote online exam process is the ease of access that comes with it.

Creating, administering, and evaluating a test are time-intensive tasks for everyone involved from the student to the teachers. By moving the entire process online, you save up on the effort, time, and cost (operational and overhead)remarkably.
-
Convenience: Like mentioned earlier, remote online exams can be conducted anywhere, anytime. However, that is not all. It helps make the entire process super convenient - No more exhaustive paperwork, all information available at one place, standardized processes, and so much more!
