Exams and marks

The exam flow has four stages: define exam types, schedule exams, enter marks, publish results.

Stage 1: Exam types

Exam types are templates you'll reuse — Unit Test, Term-end, Annual, Pre-board, Practical.

Setup → Exams → Exam Types. For each type, set:

• Weight — how much it contributes to the cumulative report.
• Max marks default — overridable per-subject when scheduling.
• Pass criteria — minimum percentage; whether each subject must pass independently.
• Grade scale — A+, A, B+... pick a built-in or define your own.

Define types once. Every scheduled exam references a type.

Stage 2: Scheduling an exam

Setup → Exams → Schedule → + New Exam.

1. Pick the class(es) the exam applies to.
2. Pick the exam type.
3. Per subject, set:

- Date and time - Duration - Max marks - Room

1. Save.

For exams that span all classes of a program (all Grade 5 sections write the same Annual Exam), tick Apply to Program — one schedule covers everyone.

Stage 3: Entering marks

Reports → Marks Entry or directly from the exam's detail page.

1. Pick the exam.
2. The grid shows every student × every subject.
3. Teachers type in the marks. The grid auto-saves every 30 seconds.
4. Marks above the max or below 0 are flagged red.
5. When done, click Submit for Review.

A class teacher or branch admin reviews before publishing. This catches typos before report cards go out.

Stage 4: Publishing results

1. From the exam detail page, click Publish Results.
2. Report cards are generated for each student.
3. Parents see them on the portal; an email goes out with a download link.
4. The marks are now locked — corrections require admin approval and create an audit trail.

Corrections after publish

If a mark needs correcting after results are published, admins can edit it with a reason. The change is audit-logged and the report card updates.

(A parent-initiated re-evaluation request flow is on our roadmap.)
