Online Exam Software for Schools
Digiexam is the online exam software and testing platform that helps schools create a seamless examination process, empower both teachers and students, and prevent cheating using AI, browsers, and other external tools.
Meet the secure online exam platform
Enterprise security measures
The Digiexam online examination system rests on its own proprietary, closed-source foundation. It runs as a dedicated app on Windows, macOS, iPad, and managed Chromebooks, giving students full offline access, automatic backups every ten seconds, and maintenance-free updates.
Secure exams
Lockdown mode turns the device into a sealed exam desk. Students can't open browsers, apps, AI tools, or anything else that could give them an edge. Screenshots, external devices, and common workarounds are blocked, keeping the test fair and focused.
Empower teachers & students
Teachers can build new online exams or draw from their archive, while automatic marking handles most of the grading. The exams can be customized to cater to each student's needs with features like text-to-speech, translations, and extended-time settings.
Real-time analytics
Our online exam test software gives teachers live snapshots of student activity - who has started, who has submitted, and who hasn't shown up to the exam. This instant view makes it easier to step in when someone needs help.
For online & in-room exams
The same setup works for online exams and in-room tests. Teachers launch and oversee exams from their devices, while students complete and submit everything digitally. It removes the stack of printed papers, keeps submissions in one place, and gives every exam a consistent format.
Paperless examinations
Online exams stay stored in a single, secure space with no risk of lost papers. Shifting from printed tests to online examination also cuts down paper use across the school, supporting a cleaner, more sustainable workflow.

Why use an online examination system?
The advantages that online exams for schools offers are numerous, benefiting students, teachers, and the school institution alike in various ways.
Consistent exam delivery
Every exam follows the same structure, no matter the subject or classroom. Digital templates, fixed layouts, and uniform instructions remove guesswork for both teachers and students.
Faster exam turnaround
Movement bottlenecks disappear with online exams with no printing queues, no collecting stacks of papers, no sorting submissions. Everything arrives instantly in the same digital space.
Accessible from anywhere
Because exams run in a dedicated app, schools aren't tied to a single room, building, or device. Students can take exams on-site or in a controlled remote environment.
Reduced long-term costs
Online examination cuts expenses tied to printing, distributing, storing, and archiving paper tests. Over time, schools save money on materials and reduce administrative overhead.
Improved insight
Departments gain a real-time, high-level view of everything: scheduled exams, ongoing sessions, grading progress, and result releases. Clear audit trails support school policies.
Stronger continuity
Teachers can draw directly from digital class materials, reuse past questions, and push updates across multiple exams. This creates a tighter connection between what's taught and what's tested.
