Abstract

The ongoing era is called the technology era and every one want to have automatic system means that the work is done just on one click. The inclusion of human being in any work may become problematic, fraudulent and un-sophisticated. We keep the need of current time and decide to develop such a system which is capable of to automatically grade Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) paper. Manually grading/marking of a paper is time consuming, boring and complicated task. Moreover, it may possible to make fraud by fraudulent examiner during paper marking. In this paper, we have proposed a novel approach for automatic paper grading. The proposed approach is user friendly and efficient, which will mark a candidate’s answers automatically and return, within a very short period. The proposed system for MCQs marking consists of a camera and computer, and can accept any type of marking on bubbles.The ongoing era is called the technology era and every one want to have automatic system means that the work is done just on one click.
