Abstract

Automation of answer script evaluation helps in eliminating manual evaluation system. Automatic evaluation system is the technology to improve current examination process. The system helps to auto-evaluate and to calculate the correct and incorrect answer to grade the marks. This system helps in terms of saving time and to apply saved time in academic activities. However, the main approach is to mesh the existing manual evaluation system. Automation of answer scripts caters fast evaluation to give results in instant time. This paper presents a brief explanation about the answer script evaluation system.
