As AI in education gains ground across the globe, Excelsoft Technologies, a pioneer technology solutions provider for education is seeing significant demand for its AI-powered remote proctoring and assessment tools. In 2023, the firm launched ‘Ai-levate’, a dedicated vertical to develop AI-powered apps & services and within 12 months, the firm’s AI proctor has already monitored close to 1.4 lakh tests & assessments for clients in India, US, UK and Middle-East. In the meanwhile, its AI-powered assessment tool, currently in its beta testing phase, has shown a reduction of 40% in time for designing and generating online tests & assessments. In the next 12 months, Excelsoft plans to integrate Gen AI for developing interactive & smart e-learning content. The firm expects AI-driven products to contribute 10 – 20% to the company’s top line.
Excelsoft’s AI-powered assessment solutions can develop adaptive and dynamic assessments that can be adjusted in real-time based on an individual’s performance. It can identify areas where test takers will require additional support and adjust the difficulty level accordingly. For educational institutions and organizations, AI brings in increased efficiency in assessment creation, accuracy, fairness and faster turnaround times in evaluation and grading. The assessment tool can generate questions for a range of assessments & examinations such as high-stakes examinations, competitive exams, skill-based assessments, pre-employment assessments, and promotional examinations.
In the meanwhile, the firm’s AI-powered remote proctoring solution can equip education institutions and organisations to seamlessly monitor exams remotely at scale and safeguard the integrity of examinations. It can perform real-time monitoring, conduct identity verification, analyze data and patterns to flag anomalies/malpractices, and enable real-time communication between the proctor and test-taker via text and audio chat for clarifying doubts.
