Abstract - An Automatic Question Paper Generator system
will allow college officials to automatically generate papers
from an existing database of questionnaires. This system will
have the ability to process different paper sets by default. It
takes all the tedious work and makes the manual work quick
and effective. The software is very useful for small and medium
sized institutions. The software will use the database to
compile a questionnaire where the database can contain
thousands of queries. The software will generate random
paper in such way that the question does not repeat itself.
Key Words: SQL, Questionnaire, paper, generator, exam,
automatic.
1. INTRODUCTION
In a practical scenario, generating a question paper is very
time consuming and it makes all the teachers tired of doing
the same tasks over and over again. This project removes
these issues and difficulties. In this project, we have used a
system in which random questions will be selected from the
database to generate the question paper.
Using a randomization algorithm, questions are selected
based on course, semester, subject, marks. The questionnaire
is produced according to the above pattern by the
administrator to avoid time-consuming activities, and also
by the students to practice for their exams.
2. LITERATURE SURVEY
Because of a growing field of education, examinations and the
preparation of appropriate question papers seems daunting,
inefficient, time-consuming, and unnecessary for teachers.
Therefore, various applications, software, and databases have
come up to tackle the situation. We have looked into those
applications in advance, which include the following.
Swapnil Ghagare [1] who worked on a system that uses
shuffling algorithm, it randomizes the questions generated
from the database. The algorithm applied by them is quite
straightforward and also extremely easy to understand. The
implementation of this algorithm can be easily performed in
other systems as well. Mrunal Fatangare [2] worked on a
question paper generator, which provides a solution to
choose from different challenging constraints and make it
easy for the user to generate them within a very short
amount of time. It contains various modules which enables
the system to affect all the systems quickly. The modules like
admin module, user module, and question entry and
question management makes it an easy task. Noor Hasimah
Ibrahim Teo [3] who also worked on a system in which text
matching and question sorting was done by the system itself
but one of the major drawbacks of this system was that only
limited questions that could be added into the system. Suraj
Kamya [4] their paper proposed a system based on fuzzy
logic in which all constraints were classified based upon the
algorithm so that the system can be easily accustomed with
them. Vijay Krishnan Purohit [5], their proposed system is
based on Bloom’s Taxonomy. It was an adaptive system
however the data is entered is assumed to be completely
error-free which has the possibility to affect the overall
accuracy of the system.
3. PROPOSED SYSTEM
Conventional exam paper generation systems followed by
institutes have many flaws such as repeated questions in the
paper and time requirements. To overcome them we are
proposing a new system.
Automatic Question Paper Generator is a software which is
beneficial to colleges, publishers, and test paper setters who
want to possess an enormous database of questions and
generate test papers frequently with ease. It mainly deals
with the sorting, gathering and administration of an outsized
amount of questions on different levels of toughness from
scientific and also non-scientific subjects associated with
various classes.
There are two modules in this software:
A. Admin Module
B. User Module
