Online exam security checklist for schools and institutes

Online exams are standard for coaching centers and colleges, but integrity settings should match your stakes. A lightweight mock test needs fewer controls than a board-style assessment.

Before the exam

• Fullscreen mode — reduces casual tab switching.
• Copy/paste blocking — limits copying questions out of the browser.
• Time limits & attempt caps — auto-submit when the clock ends.
• Question shuffling — different order per student where appropriate.

During the exam

• Tab-switch detection — log violations for staff review.
• Webcam presence check — confirms a person is at the device (not facial recognition claims).
• Stable delivery — offline queue or retry for poor connectivity on student devices.

After the exam

Review violation logs alongside scores. Publish results only when institute admins approve — avoid accidental early release. For retakes, use separate attempt windows per batch.
