Nearly 6 million students from rural areas aredenied the opportunity to go to the coachingcenters that cost $150/month or to use E-learning technologies because of their lowerfamily income.
Especially, students from rural areas don’t even have any effective way to assess & prepare themselves for public exams.
In this kind of situation, we believe, through mobile technology we can bring a massive change in the traditional way of preparation.
Exam system in Bangladesh
Mobile penetration in Bangladesh
Starting from primary schoolcertificate to job, almost all examsare fully or partially MCQ based.Every year approximately 9 millionstudents sit for MCQ based exams.
Bangladesh is ranked third in themobile usage among the south Asiancountries. There are around 98 millionmobile users in Bangladesh. And 35million people use mobile apps.
There are thousands of apps available in
Bangladesh. But there is hardly any app that
provides educational experiences
a mobile application that isdesigned for MCQ based
virtual assessment.
Through this App, students will be able to give MCQ based assessments sorted by subjects and chapters. They will also be able to see scores & solutions instantly and compare their performance
with students around the country. Thus they will make them prepared for public exams.

“The innovation has diverse
scopes of application and will
allow technology inclusion in
Bangladesh. In particular, the
social inclusions include rural
community and women
facilitation.”
“MCQ based assessment for
students can be a solution to
reduce workload, as number of
teachers is few in comparison
with number of students. It can
be helpful also in distance
learning approaches.”
A dream we cherished
