So here is the news…we are now working with Swingwind Technologies on their Tests authoring and delivery software called as “Pareeksha” . I can tell you that Swingwind is one most promising startups we have seen until now..they have a very good development team and an amazing product developed on Flex platform (flash based).
The product has all the makings of scalable and extensible test authoring and delivery platform. Since its flash based, the interface looks really good…I like the vista theme they got in one of their demos. Its also takes more time to load, but once it loads its really fast. One of the good features about this product is that that, if there is some power outage or a network problem while taking the test, the state of the test is saved on the users local machine and so whenever the user goes back online, the test can be continued from where it got disconnected.
Another very good feature is the guess functionality, where the user can mark the question if he/she is guessing the question and at the end of the test can review the performance in the guessed questions.
Pareeksha also has a feature wherein the users are enforced to take the test in full screen mode. This is for preventing users from accessing any other site on the same computer.
The tests can be delivered online as well as offline in CDs.
Pareeksha is targeted at Training and educational institutions. It can be customized and used for all competitive exams like IIT JEE, EAMCET etc and also for Computer adaptive tests (CAT) like GMAT , GRE.
Swingwind.com is one of the live instances of Pareeksha, the site has lot of quality placement papers for various companies. Check them out if you are planning to write any of the placement exams.
