Module overview

Built for real school operations

How this module works across daily school operations, which features it includes, and how it connects with the rest of InstiKit.

Manage school exams from planning to report cards

Exam time brings a lot of work for a school. Teachers prepare questions and enter marks. The exam coordinator checks schedules, and class teachers get report cards ready for parents. Keeping these details in separate files makes it harder to know which records are ready.

InstiKit brings this work into one school exam management system. Schools can set up their exams and grading scales, record assessments, and prepare report cards using the same student and class records.

Plan exams around your school calendar

Create terms and exams for the academic year, then set up schedules for the required classes and sections. Add subject dates, start times, and exam durations so staff have the details in one place.

Schools can define assessment components and grade ranges to match their marking pattern. For example, a subject may include a written paper and a practical assessment, each with its own maximum marks.

Keep questions and marks organised

Teachers can maintain a question bank by course, subject, and topic. Questions can include answers, solutions, marks, and difficulty levels, making it easier to find useful material when preparing assessments.

After an exam, teachers can enter marks against each assessment component or import them using the provided Excel formats. Schools can also set a marks entry period with automatic locking to control later changes.

Prepare report cards for students and parents

Process results from the recorded marks and prepare report cards for an exam, a term, or a cumulative assessment, depending on the school's configured marksheet format. Reports can include subject results, attendance, observations, and teacher comments according to the selected layout.

The school controls when marksheets are published. Parents and students can access their reports once the results have been processed and published.

Support competency assessment and HPC marksheets

Schools can also assess students through learning domains and indicators. Teachers record a grade for each indicator, giving them a more detailed record of what a student can do and where help is needed.

For schools using a Holistic Progress Card, a customised HPC marksheet is generated on demand. The format is prepared according to the school's requirements as part of the competency based exam module.
