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.

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.”
