EXAM MASTER

Secure, Offline Exam Management for Schools

ExamMaster – a powerful, dual-platform solution designed to streamline and secure exam management. Featuring a mobile app for students and a web application for teachers, this system combines the accessibility and convenience of online examination platforms with the security of a local network, effectively eliminating the potential for cheating via the internet.

About the Project

The client was looking for a comprehensive examination management solution that could operate within a local area network (LAN) to ensure security, reliability, and ease of use. The goal was to provide students with a mobile app for seamless test-taking while allowing teachers to manage exam setups, results, and student performance analysis via a web-based application.

All components are seamlessly synchronized through a single Wi-Fi router, operating without an internet connection to ensure a secure, closed network environment. Synec worked with the client to design an integrated platform that balances efficiency, security, and user-friendliness.

Features

  • Dual-Platform

    The system consists of two main components: a Mobile App (for Android and iOS) used by students to take exams, and a Web Application for teachers to create exams, manage questions, view student progress, and generate reports.

  • LAN-Based Operations

    The LAN-based setup ensures that all data is securedly transmitted and stored locally, reducing dependency on the internet and enhancing security against external threats, making it ideal for school settings with strict privacy requirements.

  • Cross-Platform Exam Accessibility

    The mobile app enables students to take exams on either Android or iOS devices, providing flexibility and a smooth user experience across different platforms.

Tech Stack

React Native for cross-platform compatibility (Android & iOS) – React Native is chosen for its ability to build apps for both platforms from a single codebase, reducing development time and costs.

Angular (front-end), Node.js (back-end) – Angular provides a robust framework for building dynamic, responsive web applications, while Node.js ensures efficient handling of backend processes and real-time interactions.

TCP/IP protocols are used for reliable, secure communication between devices on the local network, ensuring exam data is transmitted safely without internet dependency.

MySQL for structured data storage – MySQL is selected for its reliability, scalability, and ability to handle complex queries, making it ideal for managing structured exam data.

Adobe XD, Bootstrap for web, and Material Design for mobile – Adobe XD is used for its powerful prototyping and design collaboration features, while Bootstrap and Material Design ensure consistent and responsive UI across devices.

WebSockets for live exam tracking and student activity – WebSockets enable real-time communication, allowing teachers to monitor exam progress and student activity instantly, enhancing exam security.

Apache on a dedicated local server – Apache is chosen for its reliable performance in hosting the web application on a local server, ensuring fast and secure access within the LAN.

Local storage with automatic backup scripts using Cron jobs – Cron jobs automate regular backups, ensuring that exam data is regularly saved and easily recoverable in case of any system failure.

By utilizing this advanced tech stack, Synec delivered a comprehensive LAN-based examination system that streamlines the process of exam creation, execution, and result analysis, ensuring secure, efficient, and user-friendly operations for both students and educators.
