There can be a lot of loopholes in the entire process thus increasing the chances of disclosure of the paper. Therefore now the organizations and the government are drifting towards the online examination modes.

The well formulated and advanced software restricts the manipulation level to a large extent or almost nullify it.

This way the online mode of exams adds to the credibility of the institutions as well. Online examinations have curbed the practices of mass cheating, impersonation, terrorizing or the assault of supervisors, fake mark sheets and many more such a breach of ethics.
