Mindlogicx in Rs.54 crore multi year Tech Deal with Gujarat Technical University

Mindlogicx, a tech product development company in the higher education space, has bagged a multi-year Rs.54cr Exam Management Services (EMS) contract from Gujarat Technical University (GTU), Ahmedabad. This is the company's second large deal in Gujarat after its end to end exam automation deal with Saurashtra University struck in September last year.

GTU is the largest technical University in the country with about 5.5lakh students studying in 500 affiliated engineering, pharmacy, and management colleges under its fold.

Commenting on the specifics of the deal, Suresh Elangovan, Founder CEO, Mindlogicx said, "As part of the deal with GTU, Mindlogicx will provide Cloud Technology that will enable e-Assessment of answer sheets for all theory exams conducted by the University. This involves Digitization &Digital Evaluation of hand written answer scripts, besides centralized monitoring and reporting of the whole examination processes, result processing and analyzing and printing of certificates and mark sheets. We will be deploying our patent pending technology suite "IntelliEXAMS" to manage GTU's entire examination evaluation process and handle the answer sheet evaluation in a swift and transparent manner. Our plan is to hire over 200 Software Support and Network Engineers in Gujarat for this project."

eAssessment involves examiners correcting the answer-sheets that have been scanned and uploaded on the main computer server. The evaluation of answer script is done digitally by registered faculties in a distributed manner and after the assessment is over, the results are automatically uploaded on GTU's website. As part of the e Assessment process, multiple examiners will be able to access the answer-sheets that have been uploaded over the web and will assess answer-sheets online.

As they evaluate each question, marks for each of them will be added automatically to the grand total, thus reducing chances of errors. The computer will automatically display marks attained by the student which will enable the results to be declared faster as teachers do not have to prepare separate mark sheets. GTU's staff will be trained on the implementation of this first of its kind e Assessment system in the country.
