Abstract

Examinations are increasingly vulnerable to question paper leaks, posing urgent challenges to educational institutions. Breaches, such as unauthorized access to exam materials, logistical weaknesses in exam transfers, and the lack of real- time surveillance and monitoring, are jeopardizing the integrity of exams, tarnishing the reputation of institutions, and unfairly benefiting certain individuals. In order to solve these issues, this paper has designed an improved Exam Paper Leak Avoidance System using GPS, GSM, RFID, and a timer, which an Arduino UNO microcontroller will control. An RFID for identification of students, GPS for tracking student location with an accuracy of ± 5 meters, GSM for alerting in 10 seconds, and a timer for the release of papers at a fixed time. After the testing process, which involved simulated exam scenarios and real-time trials, the efficiency of the proposed system is confirmed when the number of unauthorized tries is decreased to a minimum level of up to 95%, thus providing the examination process is secure, real-time, and fully reliable. Providing a cost-solving and easy-to-implement solution helps create a better structure to enforce exam security and maintain the institution's credibility.
