Description
Who Is This For?
This workflow is designed for educators, universities, examination departments, and EdTech institutions that need a faster, smarter, and standardized way to prepare exam question papers.
What Problem Does This Solve?
Creating balanced, outcome-based question papers can take hours or even days of manual effort. Faculty often struggle to:
- Ensure syllabus coverage across units
- Maintain Bloom’s Taxonomy alignment
- Keep a consistent difficulty balance
- Format papers in institution-specific templates
How it works
This workflow automatically generates an exam question paper based on syllabus topics submitted via a form and sends it to the entered email address.
Here’s the flow in simple steps:
Form Submission – A student or faculty fills out a form with subject code, syllabus topics, and their email.
AI Question Generation – The workflow passes the syllabus to AI agents (Part A with 2 Marks, Part B with 13 Marks, and Part C with 14 Marks) to create question sets. The marks and the no. of question generated can be customized according to the convenience.
Merging Questions – All AI-generated questions are combined into a single structured document.
Format into HTML – The questions are formatted into a clean HTML exam paper (can also be extended to PDF).
Send by Email– The formatted exam paper is sent to the user’s email (with option to CC/BCC).
