SecureQPS — Confidential Exam Paper Setting Portal

A browser-based portal for universities and examination offices to run confidential question-paper setting end to end: assign examiners, set bilingual papers, approve without exposing questions, release to a named press, and settle bills — with clear roles and a full audit trail.

From assignment to press — without open paper in the middle

Intermediate roles see status and metadata. Question text stays with the people who must set or print it. Complementary to Avid OSM (on-screen marking of answer scripts).

What is SecureQPS?

SecureQPS is Avid Web Solutions’ Confidential Exam Paper Setting Portal — software for universities and examination offices to assign, draft, approve, release and print confidential question papers with role separation and audit trails.

It is not an LMS, not on-screen marking, and not a generic document store. The product is scoped around the Controller of Examinations workflow: schemes and assignments, examiner drafting, optional Vice-Chancellor approval without question text, release to one press, dual-officer opening, and accounts settlement.

Developed in production use with Mohanlal Sukhadia University, Udaipur. Other institutions are scoped per project. Book a SecureQPS demo.

Workflow

How a confidential paper moves through SecureQPS

One path from the examination office to the press — each role sees only what it needs.

  1. Office creates scheme & assignment
  2. Examiner drafts bilingual paper
  3. Scheme validation & lock
  4. Optional VC approval (no questions shown)
  5. Release to one named press
  6. Dual-officer opening ceremony
  7. Time-bound print window
  8. Accounts settle bills
Project scope

What the application covers

Public scope of the SecureQPS project — roles, modules and outcomes. Implementation details that protect confidential content stay inside the product and the contract, not on this page.

Examination office

Courses, paper codes, sessions, schemes, examiner registry, assignments, notices, tracking and release to press.

Examiner workspace

Own assignments only; bilingual digital editor or handwritten upload; validation against the frozen scheme; watermarked preview; lock and own bills.

Vice-Chancellor

Optional approval queue by course, paper, examiner and session — metadata only, no question text on the panel.

Printing press

Inbox limited to that press; dual-officer verification with press admin; controlled print/download window; packing and press billing.

Accounts

Separate examiner and press bill queues — voucher, date, amount, mark paid — without access to paper content.

Governance

Lifecycle tracking, reports, configurable paper rates, audit log of actions (not question text), and workflow alerts by email/WhatsApp where configured.

Reference deployment

Built for university examination offices

SecureQPS was developed around real Controller of Examinations workflows and has been used in production with Mohanlal Sukhadia University, Udaipur. Demo access for other institutions is arranged on request — we do not publish live exam credentials on this site.

  • Complements Avid OSM (answer-script evaluation) and can sit alongside Avid University ERP where both are deployed.
  • Documented on Our work as a confidential examination software project.
  • Scope, hosting and AMC are defined per university contract.

SecureQPS — frequently asked questions

What is SecureQPS?

SecureQPS is Avid Web Solutions’ Confidential Exam Paper Setting Portal. It is a browser-based workflow for universities and examination offices to assign, set, approve, release and print confidential question papers with clear role separation.

Who is it for?

Controller of Examinations teams, external examiners, optional Vice-Chancellor approval, authorised printing presses, and accounts staff who settle examiner and press bills.

How does a paper move through the system?

The office assigns a paper with a frozen scheme; the examiner drafts and locks; optional VC approval happens without question text; the office releases to one press; two press officers complete a controlled opening; accounts settle bills on screens that never show the paper.

Can examiners work from outside campus?

Yes. Examiners typically sign in with mobile number and a verification code and work on their own assignments. Privileged office desks can use additional access controls where the university requires them.

Does this replace Avid OSM?

No. SecureQPS covers confidential question-paper setting and release to press. Avid OSM covers on-screen marking of scanned answer scripts. They are complementary examination products.

Where has it been used?

Built for university examination workflows and developed in production use with Mohanlal Sukhadia University, Udaipur. Other universities and exam boards can be scoped separately.
