Indian Institute For Secondary & Technical Education has been working on
the concept of On-Demand Examination (ODE) at Secondary Level in the area of its
feasibility and operationalization. The novel concept of ODE is a great step in
the direction of flexibility to the open and distance learning. This will make the
total system of examination independent of the time frame and will help the student
to take up the examinations as per their wish and preparation. The basic concept
of On Demand Examination is that IISTE Student can walk into the examination Venue/Center
as and when he/she feel ready for the examination. At present, ODES is being conducted
at iiste HQ at DELHI and at its 100+ Regional Centres/Sub Centres of IISTE in the
following subjects at Secondary (10th)and Sr.Secondary(12th)
level.
- Secondary : Hindi, Bengali, English, Sanskrit, Mathematics, Science
& Technology, Social Science, Economics, Business studies, Home Science, Word Processing,
Psychology
- Sr. Seconadry : Hindi, Bengali, English, Sanskrit, Mathematics,
Physics, Chemistry, Biology, History, Geography, Political Sc., Economics, Business
Studies, Accountancy, Home Science, Psychology, Sociology, Environmental Science
and Dataentry Operations.
- Medium of Question Paper : The Question Paper will be in English,
Bengali and Hindi Medium Only, However the Regional Medium Candidates want to appear
through the On Demand Examination will have a choice of Answering the Question Paper
in the respective Regional Medium but no Regional Medium Question Paper will be
provided in On Demand Examination.
Advantages
The advantages of ODE can be stated as follows
- Allows the Student to get assessed when he/ she is ready. Readiness depends on the
Student and not on the institution.
- Attempts to remove the stress of appearing in examination(s), whether for all subjects
or in one subject at a fixed time and schedule.
- Attempts to remove the threat of failure in examination.
- Removes frustration, loss of self esteem, peer group ridicule, depression etc.
- Knowledge of results is almost immediate and success, even in one subject, is a
strong motivating factor.
- Degree and level of performance is decided by the Student who can reappear in the
examination as many times as one wants, till satisfied.
- Malpractices will be reduced, as it is a system where the tools for evaluation are
unique to an individual Student. Every question paper for each Student is different
having comparable difficulty level.
- Respects the individuality and sovereignty of each Student.
