Aiming to be more accurate in collating and publishing ICSE and ISC results, the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations will introduce a digital pen and tablet-based technology for the examiners to evaluate answer scripts from next year.
"The Council is planning to introduce the Live Ink Character Recognition (LICR) Solution technology while evaluating answer scripts by the examiners," Chief Executive and Secretary of CISCE Gerry Aarathoon said here on Thursday.
"LICR is a technology which incorporates a re-purposed digital pen and tab used by examiners to evaluate answer scripts and help publish results in a shorter time," he said.
The technology will be accurate and would reduce the recheck requests. It was planned to be introduced from 2016, Aarathoon added.
While examiners would use normal pens to evaluate answer scripts, they would use the LICR pen to fill in slots on the top sheet of answer scripts containing a summary of marks obtained. They would be required to write the individual marks obtained for each question as well as the total, he said.
The examiner would then click a check mark on the tab to verify the input. The LICR would then scan the entire top sheet and send it to the Council's system, he explained.
Once the checked mark is clicked via cloud computing, the scores for each question and the total marks obtained by a student will be stored in the Council's cloud computing system, he said.
The council has already had a successful pilot run of the system last year.

The Council is also eyeing to introduce video- conferencing between heads of schools and other educational agencies on regular basis soon.
"We had a pilot run of video-conference in February and it was quite successful. It will be done on regular basis and at short intervals between the heads of schools and help them to understand their problems," Aarathoon added.
