A OCR Based Approach1

Evaluation is a process of assessing and measuring the educational system through many techniques like oral or viva-voce exam, subjective exam and objective exam etc. After conducting a survey on 200 peoples, we found, objective exam is preferred to evaluate the students frequently due to the easy and less time consuming in the evaluation of objective answer-sheet in compare to the subjective answer-sheet. This paper is a discussion on a solution to evaluate the objective answer-sheet automatically by computer. It is used to automate the import data which emanate from objective answer sheets into a computer. Its main advantage is the ability to work with every single scanner of the market, needing no extra drivers whatsoever and no special color printing of the forms. Optical character recognition technique is used here to recognize the response of the students. Thirty objective sheets were filled by 30 peoples to test the proposed system.
