Luckily, it can be achieved quickly with a reliable cloud-based student information system. The virtual path asks for replacing the following protocols of schools with the given e-protocols.

Exam center online exam classroom

• In an offline school examination setup, students are supposed to go to the exam center for successfully being a part of the examination.
• Here, with virtual exam software, students are supposed to reach the online exam classroom! The next step describes how-

Hall tickets e-tickets with Ids and passwords

• To enter the hall, students have to submit/show their hall ticket to the exam monitoring teacher or authority.
• To enter the virtual exam center, the User Id and password becomes the “hall ticket”! Students are given unique Ids with passwords; they need to login to the system using credentials and a device for internet connection, of course!
