 Abstract

In today’s age, education is the most important way of achieving success. When we

discuss education, it is imperative to mention tests and examination. Examinations prepare

students in their quest for knowledge. So, having a proper examination paper and format is quite

necessary. Now the traditional method of generating question paper has been manual. In this

method certain officials chalk out the question paper. But this method can be ineffective at times

owing to bias, repetition and security concerns. We have proposed an Automatic process of

Question Paper Generation which is fast, streamlined, randomized and secure. Every task

performed by this system is automated so that storage space, bias and security is not a concern

anymore. Furthermore, we have proposed a new algorithm which ensures total randomization of

questions and avoids repetitions. The proposed system can be helpful to many educational

institutes.

INTRODUCTION

 Introduction
A design of suitable automatic question paper generating system for generating question

papers and managing related data may prove vital in an Educational Institute. In this paper, we

have proposed an integrated automated system that stores questions related to a particular course

and prints a question paper based on its syllabus and curriculum. We have implemented a role-

based hierarchy which restricts access to the users. The system also deploys security mechanisms

that prohibit duplication of question papers. There are provisions to enter and edit data suitable

to any educational organization with complete freedom for specifying courses, semesters,

syllabus and pattern. This enables an educational institute to generate question ensuring security

and non-repetitiveness of question papers and is a boon for organizations with limited staff and

resources. Our system aims to provide fast operations, data storage and high security for all its

tasks. The evolution of traditional and existing Question Paper Generation systems and the need

for an automated system is unravelled in Section II. In Section III, we have proposed our revised

system of Automated Question Paper Generation. Section IV describes the real-time

implementation and results of the system. Further, Section V concludes the paper and comments

on the key points of the system.

The research paper Framework for Automatic Examination Paper Generation System‟ has

provided a thorough insight into the process of automated paper generation. As the manual

generation of a balanced question paper by an individual is quite complex, the blending of

technology into teaching and learning process is inevitable. A simple and efficient way for an

examination paper generation is provided. A three tier model is provided in this framework.

Generation of Examination Papers is governed by the Syllabus Engine, Pattern Composer and

Question Aggregator. The generated question paper is based on the pattern or skeleton of the

course. Questions are entered through the Question Aggregator. The attributes related to

questions are type, marks and complexity. All these attributes are efficiently used during

Question Paper Generation. The paper generator selects a question according to the pattern and

complexity. This engine also introduces marking systems wherein any selected question is

marked so that it might not be selected again. This prevents repetition of questions in subsequent

papers. Finally, generated papers are stored as pdfs.

11
OBJECTIVES

1. To create a novel system for automatic question paper generation using PHP,

OOP, and MySQL.

2. To use the Bootstrap Framework for making the design system user-friendly.

IMPORTANCE

For any university, the examination procedure is crucial. It may evaluate each student's

performance. Additionally, it would impact every student's calibre. This system offers a number

of useful modules, despite the fact that it is a very time-consuming and difficult effort for all the

instructors. It has an excellent interface and faultless security, and it can lower the likelihood of

error. excellent user experience, strong stability, tremendous security, Easy flexibility, accurate

database analysis, simple implementation, simple operation, and simple paper formatting .

 PROJECT DESCRIPTION & SUMMARY

Automatic Question Paper Generator System. This project is a web application that was
Developed in PHP/OOP and MySQL Database. The project can help faculties, teachers, or
mentors to generate question papers for their classes. This system allows the users to store their
questions any time and when they generate a question paper, the system will randomly generate a
question paper. It has a simple and pleasant user interface using Bootstrap Framework and
AdminLTE Template. It also has user-friendly features and functionalities.
This Automatic Question Paper Generator System has 3 sides of user interfaces. It has Public
Side, Registered Users-Side, and Admin Panel user interfaces.
The Admin Panel is the side that is only accessible for the management. This side is mostly for
managing the content and the data list on the public and registered user sides. Here, you can
update the 'home' content, 'about' content, and contact information. The management can also
update the system logo, name, etc. This side can only list, view, and delete the users created
courses, classes, and question papers.
The Registered User-Side is the side of the system where faculties, teachers, or mentors can
manage their stored data. Any user can simply create their system user credential to gain access
to the features and functionalities of this side. They can only manage the data that they were the
ones who added. They can create, list, view, and delete data for courses, classes, and question
papers lists. This side's design is similar to the admin panel.
The Public-Side is the side of the system that serves as the website that is accessible for any
users and this side does not require any login procedure. The said side displays the 'home'
content, 'about' content, and contact information. It also serves as the portal of the management
and registered users to redirect to the pages where they can log in.
In this system, the Generated Question Papers Questions are being randomly fetched from th
database according to the number or count of questions per categories did the user
generates. The Generated Questionnaire or Question Paper is ready to print and if the user wants
to change the question in the same configuration, the user can simply reload the page.

LITERATURE SURVEY

14
 LITERATURE SURVEY
Because of a growing field of education, examinations and the preparation of appropriate

question papers seems daunting, inefficient, time-consuming, and unnecessary for teachers.

Therefore, various applications, software, and databases have come up to tackle the situation. We

have looked into those applications in advance, which include the following.

Who worked on a system that uses shuffling algorithm, it randomizes the questions generated

from the database. The algorithm applied by them is quite straightforward and also extremely

easy to understand. The implementation of this algorithm can be easily performed in other

systems as well, worked on a question paper generator, which provides a solution to choose from

different challenging constraints and make it easy for the user to generate them within a very

short

Amount of time. It contains various modules which enables the system to affect all the systems

quickly. The modules like admin module, user module, and question entry and question

management makes it an easy task. Noor Hasimah Ibrahim Teo [3] who also worked on a system

in which text matching and question sorting was done by the system itself but one of the major

drawbacks of this system was that only limited questions that could be added into the system.

Suraj Kamya [4] their paper proposed a system based on fuzzy logic in which all constraints

were classified based upon the algorithm so that the system can be easily accustomed with them.

Vijay Krishnan Purohit [5], their proposed system is based on Bloom’s Taxonomy. It was an

adaptive system however the data is entered is assumed to be completely error-free which has the

possibility to affect the overall accuracy of the system.

15
PROPOSED SYSTEM

Conventional exam paper generation systems followed by institutes have many flaws such as

repeated questions in the paper and time requirements. To overcome them we are proposing a

new system.

Automatic Question Paper Generator is a web application which is beneficial to colleges,

publishers, and test paper setters who want to possess an enormous database of questions and

generate test papers frequently with ease. It mainly deals with the sorting, gathering and

administration of an outsized amount of questions on different levels of toughness from scientific

and also non-scientific subjects associated with various classes.

There are two modules in this software: A. Admin Module B. User Module.

16
Admin Module

The Admin is senior staffs from the colleges or institutes who is responsible to manage questions

with constraints such as addition and updating various parameters such as courses, subjects,

chapters, marks and questions themselves. Admin will have their own login details.

User Module

A user can be a student studying in the institute for their personal study or a professor searching

for a good internal test paper. The user can generate a unique question paper by just filling in the

appropriate information in the constraints table given by the software to search the database and

generate a full question paper through the algorithm.

17
ALGORITHM

The Web Application goes through following tasks for each module:

A: Admin Module: - i. Admin logs into the system using username and password assigned to

him/her to go to the next page. ii. Admin has the access to the database, so he can add, remove

subject, semester, course, and chapter. iii. The admin also has the choice to remove any of these

constraints to meet the user requirements. iv. Admin can also provide login credentials to the

users who want access to the software.

B: User Module: - i. User logs in using their username and password. ii. A simple form that has

the options to select the name of the course, semester, subject, and the weightage of the marks of

the question. iii. Then user writes the question and then selects add option to add the question

into the database. iv. The form which includes the constraints to generate the question paper is

shown to the user. v. The form contains constraints such as course name, semester, subject, and

total marks. vi. User gets the options to generate 20,40, and 80marks question paper. vii. User se-

lects generate paper option and immediately user is provided with a question paper of specified

subject.

SYSTEM DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT

USING TECHNOLOGY

19
SYSTEM DESIGN

Following are the diagrams of Automatic Question Paper Generator system:

Working of Automatic Question Paper Generator system.

WEB TOOLS AND TECHNOLOGIES

There has been huge progress in the field of web development within just a few years. Using

different libraries, it has become possible to make highly interactive, responsive design.

Eventually, these tools are accelerating web development. In addition to that, a version control

system such as git has created possibilities for working together in any project. Because of this,

many web development tools, finding the best tools for developing web applications can be

intimidating. In the same way, different web de- velopment tools and techniques are needed

for different types of businesses. For example, Website re- quirements for B2B businesses are

much different than an eCommerce website (Ray 2019).

Front- End development begins with learning the basics of HTML, CSS, and

JavaScript and Bootstrap Framework. Besides basics of JavaScript, CSS and HTML, there are

20
frameworks and methodologies in JavaScript and CSS. In Ja- vaScript, most popular

frameworks are Angular, React and Vue.js. in CSS, Foundation and Bootstrap are the mostly

used framework. Sass is the widely used CSS preprocessor.

Back-end development refers to server-side development. This is where behind the

scenes activities happen while interacting with any website. Activities like buying books or

booking an airline ticket are possible because of back-end architecture. A back-end

developer mainly works with three technologies such as databases, scripting, and the

architecture of websites. A back-end developer writes code and communicates between the

database and internet browser. (Guru 99,2020).

H YPERTEXT M ARKUP L ANGUAGE

HTML is a markup language that provides the basic structure of the web page.

It is also regarded as the bones of a web page. It is used to create electronic documents,

which are called web pages. HTML code makes sure that the proper formatting of text and

images so that the internet browser displays them as creators intended. Cascading Style

sheets are laid over HTML to change the appearance of web pages. HTML consists of

opening and closing tags along with tag name. For example, tag name a is presented in the

following way in HTML code.

<a href="hope.html">Computer Hope</a>

There are not many components in HTML. However, most of the HTML tags have an

opening with tag name, tag attributes, and closing tag with a forward slash and the tag

21
name close. In addition to that, each tag is held within a less than and greater than angle

brackets. In the above example, the <a> tag is generating a link called Computer hope.

C ASCADING S TYLE SHEET

CSS is the short version of Cascading Stylesheet. It describes how HTML elements

are to be displayed on the browser. It can be implemented in several ways based on a

degree of reuse and scope in a source HTML document. There are mainly three ways of

using CSS in an HTML document. They are external, internal, and inline stylesheets. An

external stylesheet can be used in any number of HTML document by using <link> element

in each HTML document. Internal stylesheets are enclosed in <style></style> tags within

<head> element of an HTML code. It can be only be applied to the document where it is

defined. Another CSS styling method is an inline stylesheet, which can be applied to styling

specific elements. It is not recommended to use inline stylesheet because inline styles

override any CSS in a <style> tag thus reducing code maintainability.

B OOTSTRAP

Bootstrap is very helpful for faster and easier web development. Mark Otto and

Jacob Thornton developed it at Twitter. Eventually, it was released as an open-source

project on GitHub in 2011. It is a free front-end framework that gives the ability to make

responsive websites easily. It contains HTML and 7 CSS build design templates for

navigation, tables, buttons, image carousels, and many others. It is compatible with all

22
modern browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari. Bootstrap can be

directly used on the document without downloading and hosting by using Bootstrap CDN.

(w3 school,2020.)

P HP

It is a server-side programming language, also known as a scripting language. It

is used for developing dynamic web pages. A scripting language means that PHP does

not require the compilation step because the original code written by the developer is

converted to computer instructions each time the interpreter meets the code. PHP was

first developed by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994 to add some dynamic elements in his page.

PHP is open source project; many developers have worked on it to make it more

interactive and scalable. It is easy to learn, object-oriented support, and easily

integrated with HTML and MySQL. Many millions of web pages are still running with

PHP as a back-end programming language. A server and PHP editor is must to run it

successfully. (Mathews, M. 2015.) Thus, in this thesis, the Sublime Text editor and

XAMPP server are used as a code editor and server, respectively. The latest version is

PHP7 (W3 School, 2020).

23
OOP

Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a computer programming model that organizes

software design around data, or objects, rather than functions and logic. An object can be defined

as a data field that has unique attributes and behavior. OOP focuses on the objects that

developers want to manipulate rather than the logic required manipulating them. This approach

to programming is well-suited for programs that are large, complex and actively updated or

maintained. This includes programs for manufacturing and design, as well as mobile

applications; for example, OOP can be used for manufacturing system simulation software.

The organization of an object-oriented program also makes the method beneficial to

collaborative development, where projects are divided into groups. Additional benefits of OOP

include code reusability, scalability and efficiency. The first step in OOP is to collect all of the

objects a programmer wants to manipulate and identify how they relate to each other -- an

exercise known as data modeling.

Once an object is known, it is labeled with a class of objects that defines the kind of data it

contains and any logic sequences that can manipulate it. Each distinct logic sequence is known as

a method. Objects can communicate with well-defined interfaces called messages.

M Y S QL

MySQL is a very fast, robust relational database management system that

uses SQL as the standard database query language. A database is needed to store,

search, sort, and retrieve data over the internet. It is one of the most popular open-

24
source databases with many millions of websites using it. In this thesis, a local server

XAMPP was used as a local server for running the database. (Mathews, M. 2015.) The

best quality about PHP and MySQL is that they run in all hardware, support all

programming languages, and major operating system (Welling & Thompson, 2017).

X AMPP

XAMPP is open source software and a cross-platform server for Apache,

MySQL, PHP, and Perl. XAMPP is very helpful in starting a project with PHP and

MySQL. It is basically used as a local server for running on its own desktop or laptop.

With the help of XAMPP, it is possible to test the client's website before uploading to the

remote web server. Each module, such as Apache, the database can be started and

stop by using the XAMPP control panel. It speeds up the development process.

(WordPress 2017.) In this thesis, XAMPP is being used as a local server for running

and testing the application.

W ORKING WITH DATABASES AND SERVER

The database is needed to provide faster access to data and to provide non-static data.

Relational database MySQL was used to make a database that commonly consists of tables and

follows following web architecture.

25
 Figure: The client-server relationship between a web browser and a web server.

This is the external architecture of a web database system. It consists of two objects: a

web browser and a web server. Communication is needed between them. A web browser

requests the webserver. A web server then sends a request to the PHP engine, and the PHP

engine starts parsing the script. Inside the script, there are commands to connect to the database

and execute a query. PHP opens a connection to the MySQL server and sends the requested

query to the user accordingly. (Welling & Thompson, 2017.)

D EVELOPMENT PROCESS

Once the setup is done, the development phase can begin. As the traditional

software development lifecycle, the web application development cycle starts with

requirements analysis phase, designing, development, testing, and ends with

deployment and postproduction. These are much-needed steps for the productive

development process. (Web pixel Technologies,2016.)

26
D ESIGNING

The application must look and feel good in such a way that it looks different from others

(Web pixel Technologies,2016). Designing the website involves different phases like database

design, server design, and webpages design. A web application is a combination of various well-

structured webpages. Below is the diagram of the web application structure, database diagram,

and flow chart diagram of the login page.

D ATABASE

Record form were the databases table used in this project. ID was chosen primary key

because it must be unique and not null (GURU 99,2020). The primary key value increases when

a new record is added. The storage database table was used to store the information of comments

in database table. Likewise, the user table was used to store detailed information about comments

in the feedback. Furthermore, the contact Form database table was used to store the information

of the record with current time and date.

27
D EVELOPMENT

A server is needed to run and test the application frequently. So, the XAMPP server is

being used locally to create the webserver for developing this application. In this phase, an

application is created which fulfills the requirements identified in the previous steps. Changes are

inevitable during this phase so that the methodology should be scalable and proactive. The

product requirement document is followed while developing the application. This makes sure

that the application development is attained within a given timeframe. (Osetskyi, V, 2018.) This

phase marks the web application complete with forms, fulfilling requirement specifications,

database-driven, coding docs (Web pixel Technologies,2016).

F RONT - END DESIGN

Web programming languages like HTML, CSS. Bootstrap is used in front-end design.

They are combined to design scalable, easily maintainable front-end design. This is the part that

everyone sees without knowing what's going in the back-end part. The front end part has been

designed for all types of users by considering user interface and user experience. It is simple and

attractive. Navigation was made usual so that users could interact with the application easily.

Following figure 14 is the login page of the web application. This login page is like other types

of usual login pages; thus, it is easier for users to login. Furthermore, the color was chosen

accordingly for a better user interface and user experience.

28
B ACK - END DESIGN

The back-end design consists of a server, an application, and a database. To make an

interactive application, PHP as a back-end language is used. When an admin or user clicks to the

application, they can perform the task they wanted using the PHP programming language. There

are many files with a PHP extension. Each of them is linked whenever needed and made

adjustments accordingly. Data are synchronized between each page so that admin and users able

to get real-time data. In this thesis application, an admin can send the data in real-time to the

users, while users also get data in real-time. An admin has access to create, edit, and delete

orders that came from a different client. An admin would decide to send orders to users or

employees through the back-end part of the application

ANALYSIS AND RESULTS

37
 ANALYSIS AND RESULTS
The process of making a question paper was done manually which included steps like processing

the paper and allocating the marks to the questions. This was a tedious task, too much time was

consumed in this process.

A: Current System drawbacks: -

The current system is extremely time consuming. ii. An excessive amount of time is consumed
withing the process of creating question papers of more subjects. iii. Numerous questions are
evaluated before finalizing them for the question paper. iv. The probability of paper leakage is
more in the current system as compared to proposed system. v. Processing of the paper takes
longer because it is done manually.
B: Proposed System: -

i. Large portion is covered by the system which helps to generate paper skillfully. ii. Generat-

ing question paper will be faster as it is automated. iii. Probability of paper leakage will dras-

tically decrease because admin will have all the control over the system. iv. This system is to-

tally unbiased and generates random questions with a click of a button. To compare the cur-

rent system and the proposed system we have outputs of 3 papers generated by the proposed

system and the manual system. Comparing two methods, that are,:

A: MANUAL, B: AUTOMATED

38
 We found that,

Figure: Graf Of Results

Figure: Table of results

Here we can see that when paper is generated manually, a single paper can take seven to ten

minutes and the proposed system does the same job in seconds. Factors which slow down the

current system are,

i. Biased decision making ii. Lack of security iii. Time taken in selecting questions from a text

book. iv. Extra man-power

 CONCLUSION AND FUTURE SCOPE
CONCLUSION

The main purpose of this Web application is to generate a questionnaire using a

randomization algorithm. This is a desktop-based software that produces a unique set of

question papers based on a constraints table which leads to precise output with minimum

probability of errors. The system is completely unbiased and takes advantage of randomization

while generating the question paper. The user is just a few clicks away from generating an

exemplary question paper. Hence the AUTOMATIC QUESTION PAPER GENERATOR

SYSTEM is a much more secure and optimized system.

FUTURE SCOPE

Automatic Question Paper Generator is designed keeping in mind with many future

possibilities that can improve the software to be more productive and secure. [2]

These include:

i. The methodologies that we presented for generating question paper show promising outcomes

and can be utilized as a basis for making a more advanced automatic and independent paper

generator.

ii. ii. This software can take its true form when a large number of questions are added into a dedi -

cated database which will unlock a whole new potential of portability.

41
iii. iii. With the large database security threats are a major concern. To avoid this, a more secure

database can also be achieved, which will make sure that only an authorized person can have

access to this software.

iv. iv. Our effort is to develop this software for important exams such as SSC, HSC. This will be

beneficial to the students as they are more inclined to solve multiple papers.

v. v. With all these possibilities, this software will be more secure and will also provide much

better results.
