Examinations are a key part of an individual’s education to assess and determine if they learnt the required skills from that educational institution. Traditional examinations are conducted physically with pen and paper with invigilators, however there is an increasing popularity for digital solutions to conduct examinations online after the COVID –19 pandemic. The elimination of a physical examination venue and finding manpower for invigilators which saves time and resources has contributed significantly to their popularity. ExamPulse is a secure online examination platform which facilitates seamless participation, administration, and oversight of examinations for students, educators, and administrators alike. Its list of features includes live video feeds during examinations, automated marking, personnel management, and more, all aimed at optimizing the examination process. The platform's development follows a structured industry-standard pipeline, encompassing requirement gathering, design, development, testing, and deployment phases. The platform was developed using currently popular technologies such as ReactJS and Firebase. This paper explores the rationale behind the shift to online examinations and delves into the features and development approach of ExamPulse. It offers a secure and efficient solution for online assessments.
