    #-Link-Snipped-# How do you say, it brings less tension. You can see the time keeps on running at the corner of your screen. It will create tension among candidate?

    Regarding internet connection, when there is an interrupt in network, there is a provision, we can start the exam from where we left.

    Easy or not will depend from person to person. I don't think this is a debate topic. Moving it to chit-chat section.

    the basic idea was to do it in a more technical way...and since every new technology has some benifits and drawbacks, even online exam has.... but the thing is that we add more comfort to our life by doing the things more technically.... the burden of checking copies reduces, the burden of writing n blabbering a thousand words by candidates reduces........n so margin of error reduces...... bt then it requires a lot of resouces, and failure of power or system may cost a lot.....

    Ah ha.You cant point that as a reason.even in ordinary exam we used to refer watch which will aggregate more tension during the exam.In this 21st era we need to cope with all the developments to compete with International standards.

    I think online exams are better in following ways:
    • Less hassle in marking answers (as compared to marking ovals😁 )
    • Lesser chances of making mistakes (sometime wrong answers are marked by mistake as the grid of ovals is a little confusion 😕 )
    • Option for changing an answer after marking (in offline, applying correction fluid doesn't works 😛 )
    • Better Time Management ( in offline exam, your watch may be late than the exam clock, which you may notice at the end of exam 😔 )
    • Saves the paper (and hence helps saving environment 😒 ).
