Examination is an essential and intricate practice involving rigorous assessment and evaluation which a university cannot stay away from. Automating examination systems in higher educational institutions is a pivotal step towards improving operational efficiency, transparency, and reliability. This paper presents a comprehensive study of existing automated examination systems implemented at leading Indian universities and proposes a bespoke model for Mahatma Gandhi University. The study involved a detailed comparative analysis of examination systems at Delhi University, Anna University, University of Mumbai, and Cochin University of Science and Technology. Key focus areas included evaluator assignment, paper bundling, submission, valuation, data verification, and storage. The findings revealed significant advantages of automation over traditional manual processes, highlighting best practices and identifying critical areas for improvement. Building on these insights, we designed and developed a fully automated examination management system tailored for Mahatma Gandhi University, encompassing QR code scanning of answer scripts, automated evaluator assignment, digital paper handling, online evaluation, and integrated data management. The proposed model aims to enhance accuracy, reduce administrative burden, and foster a transparent evaluation process. This paper outlines the methodology, key findings, and implementation strategy, providing a road map for other institutions aiming a transition to automated examination systems.
