Which of the following are essentials to be ensured while conducting an online examination based on objective questions for the credibility of degrees?

2.Authentication of the candidate

B2 and 4 only

D1, 2 and 4 only ✓ Correct

Correct answer: (D) 1, 2 and 4 only

Explanation

Credible online objective exams require a proctored environment, verified candidate identity and tested hardware and software.

A proctored setting in Statement 1 supervises candidates to prevent malpractice.

Authenticating the candidate in Statement 2 confirms the right person is taking the test.

Hardware and software testing in Statement 4 ensures the system runs smoothly during the exam.

Authenticating parents in Statement 3 is irrelevant to an adult candidate's own examination.

An answer sheet with numbering in Statement 5 belongs to pen-and-paper tests, not objective online ones.
