Video Proctoring

VIDEO PROCTORING

Always Watching: Real-Time Video Surveillance

By using AI-powered snapshots and eyeball-tracking, our Video Proctoring detects suspicious behavior as it happens whether candidates glance off-screen, talk to someone nearby, or attempt to hide forbidden materials.

Visual Monitoring

AI watches candidates in real-time

Detects eye movement and suspicious behavior instantly.

Silent Watch

Always on, never distracting

Non-intrusive video tracking ensures honest assessments.

Real-Time Vigilance

AI watches so you don’t have to

Our video proctoring uses AI-powered snapshots and eyeball tracking to monitor test-takers for suspicious activity. With constant visual monitoring, anomalies are flagged instantly, keeping assessments fair and secure without manual supervision.

Snapshot Monitoring

Captures periodic high-resolution screenshots of the candidate’s face and desk space to detect anomalies (e.g., multiple people in frame).

Eyeball Movement Analysis

Tracks gaze direction and micro-movements to flag when candidates look away from the screen for extended periods.

Face Recognition & Anti-Spoofing

Verifies that the person in front of the camera matches the registered candidate and ensures it’s a live feed (not a photo/video reel).

Behavioral Pattern Detection

Uses machine learning to spot suspicious gestures (e.g., looking off to the side too often, covering mouth during questions).

Continuous Session Recording

Records the entire video feed throughout the exam; flagged clips (like multiple faces, unexpected movements) are time-stamped for easy review.

Audio Proctoring

AUDIO PROCTORING

Hear Every Whisper: AI-Monitored Sound Detection

Our Audio Proctoring listens for unauthorized sounds, hints of whispered answers, keyboard-sharing audio, or any external assistance. As soon as something suspicious is detected, the system alerts proctors in real time.

Sound Detection

Hear what the eyes can’t catch

Flags conversations and background noise in real time.

Ambient Cues

Listen for hidden support

Detects voices to prevent unfair assistance.

Hear the Unfair Advantage

Detect unauthorized help even when it's whispered

Our audio proctoring listens in for unexpected ambient sounds like conversations, coaching, or external cues. If something’s off, it’s flagged. The result? A quiet, cheat-free environment for every test.

Ambient Sound Analysis

Continuously “listens” for any unusual noises (e.g., multiple voices, whispered hints) that could indicate cheating.

Noise Level Thresholding

Automatically mutes or flags the test if ambient noise exceeds a safe decibel level (e.g., TV, radio, or discussions).

Audio Device Monitoring

Detects and flags headphone or audio device usage during tests to prevent coaching, hidden communication, and maintain a secure assessment environment.

Full Audio Recording & Logs

Stores a real-time audio log alongside timestamped screenshots for a complete audit trail in case of disputes.

Surprise Question

Surprise question

Know the code, prove the logic

Once the assessment is submitted, candidates are prompted with an unexpected question that requires them to explain the thinking behind their code. This helps assess whether the logic was genuinely their own, offering an effective filter against copied solutions or AI-generated code. It brings conceptual clarity into focus and reinforces the value of original thought in technical problem-solving.

Think it, then explain it

Verifies candidates' thought processes after the test.

Helps ensure the logic wasn’t copied or externally sourced by asking them to explain their solution.

Catch the bluff

Detects inconsistencies between answers and explanations

Flags candidates who solve problems correctly but fail to explain the logic, indicating potential malpractice.

Prove you didn’t just guess

Post-test logic validation to confirm authenticity

After completing the assessment, candidates are required to answer a follow-up question that asks them to explain their approach to a specific problem. This step helps differentiate genuine problem-solvers from those who might have copied or used external tools—ensuring only authentic thinking gets through.

Logic Explanation Prompt

Asks candidates to describe how they approached and solved a problem.

Detects Inconsistent Understanding

Flags candidates whose explanation doesn’t align with their solution.

Discourages Blind Copying

Makes it risky to rely on copied code, as logic must be justified.

Verifies Conceptual Clarity

Helps confirm that the candidate truly understands the solution they submitted.

Plagiarism Checks

PLAGIARISM CHECKS

Code Integrity: Uncover Copycats Instantly

Our Plagiarism Engine compares each submission against other candidates’ code and a vast online code‐repository. With robust similarity algorithms, you’ll know if someone copy-pastes or tries to recycle solutions from the web.

Code Integrity

Spot the copied code instantly

Compares submissions with global and internal databases for detecting internet or in-test plagiarism

Originality

Ensure every solution is authentic

Zero tolerance for reused or modified code.

Originality Matters

Code should be clever, not copied

We run every submission through advanced plagiarism detection engines that scan across the web and past candidates. This ensures that each assessment is a true measure of skill, not search results.

AI-Enhanced Pattern Recognition

Goes beyond simple string matching detects structural similarities (variable renaming, logic rearrangements) using machine learning.

Detailed Similarity Reports

Generates line-by-line diff reports showing exactly which code blocks overlap with percentage scores for easy interpretation.

Cross-Candidate Comparison

Automatically runs pairwise similarity checks between every candidate’s submission to highlight unusually high overlap.

Online Codebase Scanning

Searches public forums, GitHub, StackOverflow, and other code databases in real time to flag any recycled solutions.

Question Pooling & Shuffling

Question Pooling & Shuffling

Randomized questions to prevent collaboration and pattern spotting

Our question pooling and shuffling mechanism ensures that no two candidates face the exact same sequence of questions. By dynamically drawing from a large pool of equivalent questions and shuffling their order, we minimize the chances of answer-sharing or coordinated cheating, while maintaining fairness and consistency in assessment difficulty.

No tests are the same

Delivers unique question sets for every candidate

Randomly assigns questions from a large pool, ensuring minimal overlap and reducing chances of answer sharing.

Scramble the odds

Shuffles questions and answer choices on every attempt.

Minimizes the chances of collusion or memorizing fixed patterns by reordering both questions and options.

Same test, different journey

Dynamic question sets to discourage cheating and pattern recognition

To preserve test integrity and fairness, our system delivers a unique version of the assessment to each candidate. Questions are pulled from a curated pool and presented in a randomized order making it nearly impossible for candidates to collaborate or predict the test flow. Despite the variation, every test maintains a consistent level of difficulty and scope.

Unique Test Paths

Each candidate gets a randomized version of the test to prevent question leaks.

Anti-Collaboration Shield

Disrupts attempts to coordinate answers during the assessment.

Balanced Difficulty

Questions are shuffled from pools that maintain parity in complexity and scope.

Adaptive Evaluation Integrity

Ensures that test fairness is preserved even as the question order varies.

ID Verification

Identity confirmation

Trust but Verify: Government-Grade ID Checks

Before a candidate can start, we confirm their identity via DigiLocker (or other e-KYC providers), ensuring exam-takers are exactly who they claim to be. This removes any risk of “proxy” or impersonation.

Identity Check

Know who’s taking the test

Verify candidates with DigiLocker-based government IDs.

Verified Access

No fake identities allowed

Only verified users can begin assessments.

Know Who’s Taking the Test

Verified identity, verified integrity

Before candidates start, we verify their government-issued IDs via DigiLocker. This step confirms the person behind the screen is who they claim to be ensuring the legitimacy of your assessments.

DigiLocker Integration

Connects directly to DigiLocker for instant retrieval of government IDs (Aadhaar, PAN, Passport) with candidate consent.

Document Authenticity Check

Validates each ID’s security features (holograms, QR codes, barcodes) through a combination of OCR and AI algorithms.

Live Presence Detection

Uses short face-motion prompts (e.g., “blink,” “turn head left/right”) to confirm the person is physically present rather than a static photograph.

Face-Match Verification

Cross-compares the live webcam feed to the ID card photo; if there’s any discrepancy (e.g., lighting, angle), the candidate must re-verify.

Instant Approval Workflow

If the candidate passes all checks, they are automatically “green-lit” to begin the exam, no manual intervention required, saving your proctors’ time.
