The time has come to do away with paper and pencil entrance
examinations. The trend of online examinations is catching up fast
with the state level entrance exams also. The authorities conducting
entrance exams in Andhra Pradesh are mulling to introduce online
pattern in the EAMCET in the near future. It is a known fact that the
conventional pen and paper format of examinations are slowly making
way for online tests. There are several coaching centers to train
students for online tests which are in great demand with increasing
demand for online tests.
Many of the important entrance exams such as AIEEE, CAT and MAT are
being conducted online only. The big advantage of these tests is it is
easy to prevent question papers from leaking and the organizing
agencies also can avoid errors in evaluation of answer scripts. The
AIEEE and CLAT examination papers were leaked recently and they were
forced to hold the exams again which is a huge waste of time,
resources and money. The paper - pen tests also need hundreds of exam
centers and transport facilities. The online entrance test does not
require all these and easy to appear from convenient center. Most
popular examinations such as CAT and AIEEE are conducted online for
the past three years and there were no major issues reported till the
date.
The IITs are also contemplating to conduct JEE examination online from
the year 2013. The Government of Andhra Pradesh is also receiving
proposals to conduct Eamcet online in the coming years. Universities
such as Osmania and Andhra University are also thinking of online
tests for PG Entrances. But the students have to get trained in online
tests before they appear for the real test. Particularly, students
from rural areas are not well acquainted with online tests as they are
not fluent with the use of computers and internet at the college
level.
