beneficial for both institutes and students. Students can give exams and view their results.
This site is an attempt to remove the existing flaws in the manual system of conducting
exams. Purpose Online Exams System fulfills the requirements of the institutes to conduct
the exams online. Students can give exam without the need of going to any physical

EXISTING AND PROPOSED SYSTEMS:

EXISTING SYSTEM:
There are many online systems available in the market today. In this part of
the report we will briefly describe the existing system and undermine the features of the
proposed system. These features are the improvements or advantages of our proposed
system over the existing system.
In existing system offline examination is time consuming the participant
need to search for an institute it may take too much of time and energy, it also may
consume too much of paper sometimes the paper may lost due to rain, sometimes the
result may delay so that the participant need to wait for the result.

PROPOSED SYSTEM:
In proposed system the drawback in the existing system will be overcome
in the proposed system. The user no needs to go and search for an institute and the
following features are overcome in the existing system.
 In comparison to the present system the proposed system will be less time
consuming and is more efficient.
 Result will be very precise and accurate and will be declared in very short span of
time because calculation and evaluation are done by the simulator itself.
 The proposed system is very secure as no chance of leakage of question paper as
it is dependent on the administrator only.
 The logs of appeared candidates and their marks are stored and can be backup
