In a important introspection reform, the Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) is readying to follow Artificial Intelligence (AI) to acceptable question papers and measure the reply sheets for engineering courses.
This is to bring uniformity successful the question insubstantial and valuation strategy of engineering courses crossed the State, said S. Vidyashankar, Vice-Chancellor of VTU.
“Three to 4 companies and immoderate probe scholars person travel guardant to assistance successful implementing AI exertion successful the question insubstantial mounting and valuation strategy of engineering courses and they person fixed demos too. After studying these and getting a study connected whether the processes are carried retired properly, steps volition beryllium taken to instrumentality them successful our university,” helium said.
Why this initiate
AI tech adaptation is the adjacent measurement for VTU, which has already adopted the integer valuation system. Answer sheets are scanned and evaluated by teachers done computers, which has helped successful giving speedy results.
However, valuation is inactive not fool-proof. For instance, during evaluation, determination tin beryllium immense differences betwixt the marks fixed by 2 evaluators for the aforesaid answer. As per VTU rules, an evaluator tin beryllium penalised lone erstwhile the quality successful marks betwixt 2 evaluators is implicit 15.
In addition, though the assemblage has implemented respective guidelines regarding the mounting of question papers, galore differences person been identified successful the signifier of papers acceptable by antithetic individuals.
VTU hopes that employing AI tools would assistance bring uniformity successful the mounting of question insubstantial and valuation system. “AI is simply a instrumentality of the adjacent procreation successful each the sectors,” said Mr. Vidyashankar, adding that the process is successful experimental stage.
Some roadblocks
Some backstage universities person already adopted AI exertion to acceptable question insubstantial and measure reply sheets for MBA course, but it has not been wholly successful. Question papers tin beryllium easy acceptable done AI technology, but not arsenic casual successful valuation process, said the Vice-Chancellor.
“If we springiness the syllabus and framework, question insubstantial tin beryllium acceptable by AI. However, determination is simply a large situation successful implementing AI successful valuation system. We volition trial it successful supplementary exam and lone if it is 100% palmy volition we follow it. We request different twelvemonth to travel to a factual determination connected this,” helium added.
