For a training institute, a test series is the product students actually feel — the mock tests that tell them whether the coaching is working. Running it online takes three deliberate steps and removes almost all of the recurring cost.
Step 1 — Build the question bank
The bank is your database of questions across the syllabus, authored by your faculty with subject, topic and difficulty tags on each question. Bulk upload gets existing papers in; from then on the bank grows continuously instead of being rebuilt per test. Structure it well once — every future paper is assembled from it.
Step 2 — Define the exam blueprint
The blueprint describes the paper without picking questions: sections (say, English, Reasoning, Quantitative Aptitude), questions per section, marks, negative marking, duration and the difficulty mix. At exam time the platform draws questions from the bank to match the blueprint — randomized per candidate, so no two papers are identical but all are equivalent.
Step 3 — Schedule and launch
Publish the schedule, enroll candidates and go live. Candidates log in from any internet-connected device — no software, no lab booking. For high-stakes mocks, add proctoring and a secure browser; every session is logged for audit either way.
What your students get
What the institute gets
❌ Paper-based mocks
- Printing & distribution per test
- Venues and invigilators booked
- Days of manual checking
- Results as marks, not analytics
✅ Online test series
- One blueprint, unlimited candidates
- Candidates test from home
- Scoring automatic, instant
- Batch analytics per topic & section
The batch-level analytics matter as much as the per-student view: if 70% of the batch fails the same topic, that's feedback on the teaching plan — visible the same evening, not after the real exam.
Eklavvya, the assessment engine from the ePravesh family, runs test series end to end — bank, blueprints, randomization, proctoring and analytics. Book a free demo to set up your first series.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to launch an online test series?
Three things — a question bank covering your syllabus, an exam blueprint (sections, question counts, difficulty mix), and an online exam platform. No servers or software installs; candidates take tests in a browser.
How does randomization prevent copying in a test series?
Each candidate receives a randomized selection and ordering of questions drawn from the bank against the same blueprint — papers are equivalent in difficulty but not identical, so answers can't be shared.
What results do candidates get after each test?
Instant score with rank and percentile against all takers, section-wise performance, and strong/weak-area analysis showing which topics need work before the next attempt.
Is an online test series cheaper than paper-based mocks?
Substantially — no printing, distribution, invigilation venues or manual checking. Cost per candidate falls as batch size grows, and any number of candidates can take the test simultaneously.
