“If the government can fund PhD scholarships nationwide, it can also support us with the e-marking mechanism,” he said.

According the new modern smart exam system, each exam paper will carry a unique QR code, which will allow digital scanning and segmented marking.

Under the new mechanism, multiple teachers will evaluate different questions of the same paper, preventing any individual from marking more than one question.

This approach aims to improve fairness, accuracy, and transparency.
