MUMBAI, India, April 20 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202441078494 A) filed by Parthasarathi P; Pandiyan M; Madheswaran S; Mithun G; and Narendhar G, Namakkal, Tamil Nadu, on Oct. 16, 2024, for 'ai based proctored exam tool for shortlisting the candidates for the national and international level hackathons.'
Inventor(s) include Parthasarathi P; Pandiyan M; Madheswaran S; Mithun G; and Narendhar G.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The rise of global hackathons, coding challenges, and competitive events has significantly expanded opportunities for individuals to showcase their technical skills on national and international stages. These competitions demand innovative solutions to select the most competent participants from a large pool of candidates. Traditionally, the selection process has involved manual assessments, face-to-face interviews, or in-person exams, often requiring significant time, resources, and logistical efforts. As the demand for online and remote competitions grows, particularly in the wake of the global shift towards digitalization and remote work, the need for an efficient and scalable solution has become more pressing. AI-based proctored exam tools offer a transformative solution to this challenge by automating the candidate evaluation process while maintaining the integrity of the assessment. The use of artificial intelligence allows for real-time monitoring of candidates during exams, ensuring the authenticity of their performance without the need for physical proctors. These tools leverage facial recognition, eye movement tracking, and behavioral analysis to detect cheating attempts and ensure a secure exam environment. Moreover, AI-powered evaluation systems can automatically assess code, projects, and problem-solving skills based on predefined criteria, making the process more objective and scalable. These systems can analyze candidates' performance in real-time, delivering immediate results, thus accelerating the shortlisting process for large-scale events. This innovation provides a solution that is not only cost-effective but also accessible to a global audience, enabling organizers of national and international hackathons to reach a more diverse and talented pool of participants while ensuring fairness and security in the selection process. By incorporating AI-driven proctoring and evaluation, the tool optimizes both the experience for candidates and the efficiency of the selection process for organizers."
