How Online Proctoring Works

The Karnataka State Open University conducts both proctored and non-proctored examinations, depending on the course. Online proctored exams are time-bound assessments where you take the exam remotely on your own device, supervised by proctoring technology to maintain fairness and integrity.

• Definition: Online proctored exams are time-bound, remote assessments supervised by technology.
• Monitoring: Your screen activity, webcam video, and audio are monitored and recorded.
• Purpose: Monitoring helps institutions observe behavior, detect irregularities, and review sessions.
• Software Function: Software coordinates exam delivery, supervision, and post-exam review.
• System Requirements: You need a PC or laptop, webcam, microphone, supported browser, and stable internet.
• Environment: Sit in a quiet room with good lighting; avoid background movement.

Before you access the exam, the system verifies your identity. You enable your webcam, audio, and screen sharing, then present a valid photo ID. Only after successful identity verification does the system grant you access to the exam.

These two examination types offer different levels of supervision, with proctored exams providing oversight for academic integrity.
