Startup venture launches online mock entrance exam portal

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: A Kerala-based startup company has launched an online portal for medical and engineering entrance aspirants in the state, offering them hands on experience and instant scores.

"Through the online test called MegaExams, we intend to help students evaluate their standing and individual scores. We hope that the instant score system would be very useful for the aspirants," Prasanth Parameswaran, Managing Partner of Apprender said on Friday.

Entrance aspirants could register for the exam by paying Rs 150 online or cash deposit in bank or through VPP. Students could take the exam at their convenience on any day upto April 17, a company statement said.

Candidates would get the score immediately after the exam on April 18 and the company would publish the state-wide rank list for a comprehensive evaluation of individual score.

The online model exam would follow the same marking pattern and duration as the main entrance exam. The questions would be selected by a team of teachers with vast experience.

The programme has been designed in such a manner that the final result would give an approximate evaluation of the relative grading of students.

"The website will provide instant results and score sheets. Subject wise score analysis will help students identify their performance such as time taken, subject wise average, strength and weakness too," Pamaramewsaran said.

The company plans to conduct online model entrance for national exams, NEET, AIEEE, IBPS, PSC, and also plans to launch educational applications for mobiles and tablets.
