To connect this Online Exam Software to your website, you can add a "Online Exam" link to your webpage. The link will open the software’s Login Page in new window or inside a designated webpage on your website. This link is provided by us in email once you have purchased a license or a lease account.
Alternatively, the “Login Box” can be added directly to the webpage, using which the candidate can directly log into Online Exam System. To add login box, we provide a simple HTML code, which can be added to your webpage by your own web developer.
If you want to register students for Online Exam from your website, then add the Online Exam software's "Website Registration Interface" to your website. It is again provided as a simple HTML code that can be added to your webpage by your own web developer. [Fig 1.3A]
1.3A |
1.3B |
Your online Application and your Website are two distinct entities..Even if you purchase, these entities will be connected through link only.
In lease mode link is from our external server, but in purchase mode it is from your own server.
In the same way as any two pages on your own website wil be connected through link only.
So even if you want to integrate Online Exam registration and login interface to your website, even then the Online Exam link will be called within your webpage. But the link will always exist as a standard component of web architecture.
We shall help you do it. If you are technical and want to do it yourself, it is well and good. In case you are non-technical like most of the coaching teachers who use this software, we do the integration for them.
Yes there is a small HTML code snippet which can be added to any page of your website and it serves as your online registration form. Your web manager can add this code to your webpage. (refer page 4, point 3 a,b,c)
Yes it is possible for an external student join the test series or other facilities through App.
Payment gateway feature is active in the software and app. However as a system, payment gateway account is always subscribed by the client.
Account is accessed through an anonymous link from an IP and appears to be a part of your website.
Institutes Name is visible all over the Software and logo is visible on the Administrator & Candidate Dashboards.
No domain name or identity of Addmen is exposed.http://YOURDOMAIN.XXX/Ecas/UserLogin.aspx? CData=4D726974756E6A6179
Company Name & Logo you can do on your own. Its simple file you have to paste for logo and a simple entry of title in settings. (refer page 4, point 4)
Only a license is being sold so that you can use the software. Source code of the complete product is never provided. For example when you run a windows license on your PC, you do not get windows source code. However for the limited purpose of integration with the client website we definitely provide simple HTML code snippets for self integration by client or by us.
Payment Gateway facility is available in software. It can be activated if client has subscribed to a Payment Gateway account.
The client has to procure the payment gateway for his website by submitting his credential to the Gateway provider and upon approval when he receives the logins to the Gateway account, they are shared with us for integration into the system.
Online Exam papers can bear individual prices or can be priced collectively as a group. The amount to be paid is obtained when a candidate selects a test package or individual tests. [Fig 1.5A, 1.5B]

Yes we do not need your username & password. With your credentials you will create your profile on the provider website. Then it will generate a Auth Key (API linking code). This is meant for developers, no harm in sharing, however you can enter this in settings yourself to link. Some Gateways like CC avenue provide testing card credentials. If your gateway does not provide then either you provide or we have to test from our own card, this sum has to be reimbursed all, if it crosses more than INR 100.
PayU Money, CCAvenue, ICICI is already configured in the software.

Admin can create multiple sub-accounts (branches) and Groups (courses). Each sub-account can have many different Groups in which the registered candidates can be classified.
(A) Add/Edit Branches [Fig 2.1A]Settings > Branches. To edit branch: Click pencil icon. To allocate Record and Test: Click plus icon. |
Settings > Courses > Type Course Name > Select Branch > Active ( Type 0 =Yes, 1 = No ) > Save. |
The super-account and each of the sub-account can have multiple admins/users. Admin can create multiple users and sub-account users with limited permission. The sub-account admins can work only within their branch.
Super Admin can create Tests and control the visibility for one or more than one sub-accounts. But the tests created by sub-account admin is only visible to the candidates registered in that sub account. [Fig 2.1C]
This means that the system can be very well used by IT or Academic service providers who are catering to multiple educational organizations. One Super-Admin can create multiple sub-accounts for various institutions in their super account.

Can I upload Tests to particular Branches/Courses individually?
Yes, you can upload Tests to particular Branches/Courses individually by mapping them specifically.
If a Test is mapped to course 'A' then it will only be visible to candidates registered in course A. You can make changes to mapping anytime.
Will an Admin of branch 'A' be able to have a look over branch 'B'?
Depends upon the permissions given by Super-Admin. Specified Permissions can be set for admins/users. An admin can work only within registered branch until he has permission to Access other branche.
The fields of Candidate Registration Panel can be customized at client admin level.
Already enrolled Candidates can be registered by Admin. [Fig 2.2A]
Candidates can be registered by Admin from ECAS (browser panel).
Candidate records can also be imported from Excel Sheet.

New candidates, prospect enquiries and external students can register themselves from the website. The Online Exam software has a web interface which is a simple HTML form that can be added to the client website. Read #Website Integration [Fig 2.3A]
Choice of Group and test packages is displayed at the online registration interface. [Fig 2.3B]
By default, Candidates registered from the website interface are classified as enquiries and specially allowed to attempt only Demo tests.
The enquiries are auto converted to enrolled candidates when they make payment using Payment Gateway.
The enquiries can also be converted to enroll candidates by the administrator.
2.3A |
2.3B |
Candidates can be registered from the website as enquiries or as enrolled candidates. By default, they are registered as enquiry and are able to see only the “Demo” category of tests.
In case of implementation on lease basis the “Demo” category tests are also accounted for system resource usage and charged accordingly. [Fig 2.4A]

Username/Password for browsers interface and PIN/Password for Android EduApplet can be sent by Email or SMS after registration.[Fig 2.5A]
Users > Pins > Select Candidate > Select Username and Password > Send Pin By SMS |
In case of web registration, the login credentials are sent automatically. While in case of backend registration by admin the credentials can be sent either automatically or as decided by admin.
For this an existing email account can be configured but SMS credits to be purchased. SMS credits can be purchased from Addmen.
The client is also free to purchase SMS from a third party bulk SMS provider, in such a case, the API of the SMS provider has to be integrated into the system. Many common APIs of the most popular servers are already integrated into the system. If your API matches any such API, it can be readily used. But in case the API provided by clients is different from the already integrated APIs, then it is added and charged as a customization.
Sometimes the test is to be conducted for a large group of candidates who are either not registered in the system or do not know their login IDs or are invited to take a test for a temporary purpose like in the case of campus drives where the recruiting organization walks in to the campus, then in such a case bulk logins can be created by the admin beforehand and login credentials provided to the candidates and the corresponding candidate details are noted down on paper which are later updated into the system. Same is applicable in case of feedbacks where only the number of respondents matter and not exactly.
There is a provision to bulk send SMS of login credentials to any group of candidates using the inbuilt SMS facility. More information about test schedule can be added to the same SMS.
