Abstract - Examination is necessity of determining the
quality of a candidate’s knowledge at each level. It helps to test the expertise and skills of the students in any field. Hence, conducting exam at each level may lead to some difficulties or issues such as time and other resources while creating the test papers manually. So a system would make the task simpler which generates test paper automatically. Advance Question paper generator system is implemented by keeping in mind such difficulties, which can generate paper easily. The system is based on the concept of fuzzy logic which helps in generating question paper each time with user defined difficulty level. Paper can be generated at any time. We have make use of random function so that unique paper get generated every time. Security is also maintained. System is developed using Microsoft visual studio2015 and MS SQL server 2014. Key Words: Fuzzy Logic, Analytical, Descriptive, Fuzzification, Defuzzification
1 INTRODUCTION Education is one of the important parts of our life. There are several ways by which can gain the knowledge but at the early stages of life, teacher plays very important role. Even if want to gain the knowledge through other sources like books, research articles, internet videos, some preliminary knowledge is always required to understand or to get knowledge through these resources. After getting the knowledge it is always required to test how much capability one has to apply the knowledge to solve the relevant problems. In the test or examination various kinds of questions are included. Some of them are known to the students while some are unknown but relevant to the concepts they have studied. In almost all the colleges or universities paper level is decided according the previous years’ students’ performance. Due to which we can have several question paper levels like easy, medium, hard etc. In most of the reputed universities professors are generally busy in doing some research work besides the © 2017, IRJET

academic work. Hence they generally do not want to spend much time in question paper setting and generation. So they need automatic question paper generator which will fetch the questions from the database which is developed by contribution of all the professors of the respective subject. In this system we have flexibility for the professors to choose the subjects while registration or admin can add professor’s details and allocate subjects to him. One professor can work with maximum four subjects. He can add, delete or update the questions. Particular question will be deleted from database permanently if all the professors of that subject are agree for the deletion of that question. We also have difficulty level for question paper generation. To decide the difficulty level of a particular question, we have two parameters, Analytical_quotient and Descriptive_quotient. These quotients are stored as attributes of the question in the database table. Analytical_quotient defines how much thinking or imagination needed to solve the question. Numerical and logical types of questions are generally highly analytical whereas theoretical questions are fall into Descriptive type. If question is highly analytical, it tends to difficult level whereas descriptive questions are generally tends to easy or medium level. Actual level of the question is decided using both analytical and descriptive quotients. We get the level after doing certain fuzzy computations. In the nature, different people have different perspective to look at the various things. One may feel particular question difficult while other may feel it easy. This is the reason for applying fuzzy logic. Fuzzy logic is based on imprecision or approximation. For an integer we can definitely say that whether it is positive or negative. But in case of difficulty level of the question we can’t categorize the question in a particular set with hundred percent membership value to that set. Hence we have taken the help of fuzzy logic to solve this problem. The system is flexible and easy to use. At the end question paper will be generated in the text file format which enables the professor to edit the questions. System is secure and paper can be generated even before few
