Bhubaneswar: The Odisha government is planning to introduce online assessment of answer sheets of Plus II examinations from 2026.
To begin with, online evaluation may be undertaken for the Arts stream for which preparations are underway, School and Mass Education Minister Nityananda Gond said on Tuesday.
However, the Minister made it clear that that the proposal is yet to be accorded final approval. The budget required for implementing the online system is still under consideration. A final decision will be taken once the budget is approved.
Financial provisions will be made for the necessary infrastructure and related arrangements, he said, adding that the department has already prepared a proposal, and planning is in progress. Once approval is granted, the new evaluation system will be put into effect.
Online evaluation will help complete the assessment of answer sheets within the stipulated time period, Gond said.
Stating that AI-enabled cameras will continue to be used to monitor examination processes and safeguard question papers, the Minister said AI cameras were installed during the last Higher Secondary examinations, and no question paper leak was reported.
