Abstract - The current generation is very competitive in
nature, hence examination is needed at each level which is used to test the quality of student’s knowledge and expertise in a particular field. So it becomes necessary to conduct exams more frequently which is difficult with the traditional way of manually question paper setting. In this paper we propose a system named as Advance Question Paper Generator which provides feature to automatically generate a question paper. In this system the concept of Fuzzy Logic in soft computing is used which allows to generate a paper every time uniquely. The paper can be generated even before few minutes of examination which denies any possibility of paper leakage, hence security is also provided. Key Words: Fuzzy Logic, Analytical, Descriptive, Fuzzification, Defuzzification
1 INTRODUCTION Education has become essential thing for human kind. Education has ability to change the life of a person. It is very important to evaluate students’ knowledge about some particular subject he/she is learning, so the system has to be designed and administered in a systematic and precise manner. The ongoing examination system i.e. currently being followed in most of the educational institutions is very conventional and old. Thus it becomes inefficient to evaluate the knowledge gained by the students. The predominant and most followed classical methodology is that, some predetermined faculties are responsible for a syllabus and allocated the task of framing a question paper. In this case, some of the so developed questions are picked up randomly and used to generate the paper which evaluates students’ knowledge and thus, this method is stated as Classical or old-school Method. This classical method of paper generation suffers from the following disadvantages: dependency on intelligent people which might increase the probability of error as they might have different levels of knowledge on some © 2017, IRJET

particular topic from the syllabus or they might like some particular questions which results in degrading the quality of question paper that is being set, there are chances that proper consideration might not be given to important part of syllabus ,secrecy may get compromised and full utilization of resources might not be possible, hence raising the cost. To overcome these disadvantages, Advanced Question Paper Generator (AQPG) is being proposed, so as to make the system more efficient, reliable, improve the paper setting quality, and also to reduce the time taken by the instructor in setting the question papers. It can also help to solve some critical issues like duplicity, cost, time wastage and above all the secrecy of question papers. To frame an exam question paper, various parameters are to be considered; like difficulty level, amount of numerical type questions, theoretical questions, weight age of questions according to marks etc. We cannot exactly tell that this particular question is difficult and that one is easy. Every person has different approach to look at the question. Some people may find it easy, some may find it difficult or some may find it moderate. Defining exact level of the question like easy, medium, hard then storing that level in database and just retrieving those questions from database using simple queries is not a feasible option. Humans are good in approximate reasoning. We can have advantage of both types of reasoning for computation. Fuzzy Logic can utilize human reasoning effectively. In this paper a Fuzzy logic based approach is implemented for logical selection of level of the question, while framing question paper for every subject irrespective of its discipline. System decides the paper pattern, difficulty level and what user wants by taking some inputs from the users. Also system can extract data from various previously existing databases which also reduces the work of manually entering questions into the database. Use of random function will give new paper every time, However probability of giving same paper two or more times is almost negligible.
