Create Exams
Every test the school holds — unit test, half-yearly, annual or pre-board — starts here. You create the exam, choose which subjects it covers with their maximum marks, pass marks and dates, then enter marks (see Marks Entry). The subject list feeds admit cards and report cards. Results stay hidden from students and parents until the Principal or an Admin clicks Publish.

Questions
Which exam type should I choose?
Unit Test for class tests and periodic tests, Half Yearly for Term I, Annual / Yearly for the final exam, Pre-Board for Class X and XII practice. On the report card, Term I is usually the Half Yearly exam and Term II the Annual exam.
Unit Test 2 is held for every class. Do I create it many times?
You have two choices. Create it once for All Classes: the subjects, marks and dates are the same for every class, and marks are entered class by class (each class teacher sees their own class). Or create one exam per class with the same name (Unit Test 2 — November 2026) when classes have different subjects or dates.
Can a teacher publish results?
No. Teachers can create exams and enter marks for their own class. Only the Principal or an Admin sees the Publish / Hide and Delete buttons.
