Context

As universities expand online, blended, and cross-border programs, assessments have become the single biggest point of risk.

High-stakes examinations—such as:

• End-semester exams
• Professional certifications
• Licensure and progression exams

carry direct implications for institutional credibility, accreditation, and learner trust.

While teaching has moved online successfully, assessment integrity has lagged behind.

The Core Problem

Traditional invigilation models do not scale to modern online education.

Universities face four structural challenges:

1. Integrity Risk at Scale

When exams are conducted remotely:

• Cheating methods evolve faster than manual controls
• Multiple windows, devices, and impersonation are hard to detect
• One compromised exam can damage institutional reputation

2. Human-Centric Proctoring Is Expensive and Inconsistent

Live proctoring requires:

• Large invigilator teams
• Training and scheduling across time zones
• Subjective judgment calls

This leads to high costs, inconsistent enforcement, and student grievances.

3. Student Privacy & Experience Concerns

Intrusive proctoring solutions:

• Record excessive video/audio
• Create anxiety and resistance
• Trigger compliance concerns (GDPR, FERPA, local regulations)

4. Operational Complexity

Universities struggle with:

• Software installations on student devices
• Bandwidth and hardware limitations
• Exam-day coordination failures

This increases exam-day risk, especially during peak assessment windows.

The Proctorly Approach

Proctorly is designed as a browser-based, AI-driven proctoring platform, purpose-built for high-stakes exams at scale.

It shifts proctoring from human-dependent supervision to AI-assisted integrity enforcement, without compromising privacy or student experience.

How the Use Case Works (End-to-End Exam Flow)

Step 1: Secure Exam Launch

Students access the exam via:

• University LMS or exam portal
• Secure browser environment

Proctorly initializes:

• Identity verification checks
• Device and environment validation

Step 2: Continuous AI-Based Monitoring

During the exam, Proctorly continuously monitors:

• Browser activity and tab switching
• Suspicious behavioral patterns
• Environment anomalies (without constant human surveillance)

AI models flag events, not assumptions.

Step 3: Real-Time Risk Scoring

Instead of interrupting students:

• Proctorly assigns risk scores to sessions
• Flags anomalies for post-exam review
• Allows exams to continue smoothly

This avoids false positives and exam disruption.

Step 4: Audit-Ready Evidence Generation

For each exam session, Proctorly produces:

• Time-stamped event logs
• Session integrity reports
• Evidence trails for flagged cases

These reports support:

• Academic review boards
• Student grievance handling
• Accreditation audits

Step 5: Scalable Review & Decision-Making

Faculty and exam controllers:

• Review only flagged cases
• Avoid watching hours of footage
• Make decisions based on structured evidence

This dramatically reduces review workload.

Why Generic Proctoring Solutions Fail

Most proctoring tools are either:

• Too manual and expensive
• Too intrusive and privacy-hostile
• Too complex to deploy at scale

They treat every student as suspicious, increasing resistance.

Proctorly treats integrity as a system-level problem, not a surveillance problem.

Outcomes & Institutional Impact

For Universities

• Exam integrity preserved at scale
• Reduced invigilation costs
• Standardized enforcement across geographies
• Stronger accreditation confidence

For Faculty & Exam Controllers

• Objective, evidence-based decision-making
• Reduced administrative burden
• Faster post-exam reviews

For Students

• Fair and consistent exam conditions
• Less intrusive proctoring experience
• Greater trust in exam outcomes

Why This Use Case Matters Now

As online education matures, assessment integrity will define institutional credibility.

Universities that cannot:

• Secure high-stakes exams
• Demonstrate fairness and auditability
• Scale assessments reliably

will face regulatory, reputational, and enrollment risks.

Strategic Advantage of Proctorly

Proctorly enables universities to:

• Confidently scale online programs
• Offer high-stakes exams without physical centers
• Maintain academic rigor in a digital-first world

When combined with BrahmaGPT, institutions gain a complete online education stack:

• BrahmaGPT → Learning & revision
• Proctorly → Assessment integrity

Conclusion

High-stakes online exams demand more than webcams and invigilators.

They require intelligent, scalable, and fair integrity systems.

Proctorly enables universities to protect academic standards—without compromising student experience or operational efficiency.
