# Dynamic Blueprint
Source: https://docs.examin8.com/blueprint/dynamic-blueprint
Description of your new file.
### **Overview**
A **Dynamic Blueprint** defines only the **structure** of the paper — not the specific chapters.\
When you later use this blueprint to create a test, you will **choose the chapters at that time**.\
This makes it ideal for situations where the test syllabus changes frequently.
### **When to Use Dynamic Blueprint**
Use this when you want:
* The same paper structure (e.g., 2 VSAs, 3 SAs, 1 LA) but different chapters each time.
* To quickly create topic-specific or chapter-specific tests using the same format.
* To handle progressive tests (e.g., monthly, unit-wise exams).
### **How to Create a Dynamic Blueprint**
1. **Go to** the *Blueprints* section.
2. Click **“Create New Blueprint.”**
3. Choose **“Dynamic Blueprint.”**
4. Click **“Add/Edit Questions.”**
5. In the form (as shown below), specify:
* **Source:** Choose *All*, *NCERT*, *Exemplar*, or *Previous Year Questions*.
* **Subject:** Select the subject.
* **Question Type:** Choose *Subjective*, *Objective*, or *Mixed*.
* **Weightage:** Define marks or question category (e.g., *VSA, SA, LA*).
* **Required Questions** and **Suggestive Marks** as per the test pattern.
*(Note: In Dynamic Blueprint, you do not select a specific chapter.)*
6. Click **OK** to save.
7. Repeat for all question types and sections.
8. Click **Save Blueprint.**
When you later generate a test using this Dynamic Blueprint:
* The system will ask you to **select chapters** at runtime.
* The final paper will follow the same structure but use the selected chapters.
# Introduction
Source: https://docs.examin8.com/blueprint/introduction
Description of your new file.
A **Blueprint** in Examin8 defines the structure or design of a question paper.\
It acts as a **template** that specifies how many questions to include, what types of questions they are, and from which topics or chapters they should come.
Instead of selecting questions manually each time, teachers can create a blueprint once and reuse it to automatically generate question papers that follow the same pattern — saving time and ensuring consistency.
### **Advantages of Using a Blueprint**
* ✅ **Consistency:** Maintain the same marking scheme and pattern across multiple papers.
* ✅ **Time-saving:** Automatically generate new papers following the same structure.
* ✅ **Flexibility:** Modify the blueprint at any time to adjust question counts or types.
* ✅ **Balanced Evaluation:** Ensure coverage of all important topics and question types.
* ✅ **Dynamic Question Sets:** Even with the same structure, questions change every time — keeping papers unique.
## **Types of Blueprints**
Examin8 offers two types of blueprints: **Normal Blueprint** and **Dynamic Blueprint**.\
Both help teachers design question papers efficiently but differ in how chapters are handled.
For periodic tests, pre-boards etc.
For tests with fixed question type structure but with different chapters.
# Normal Blueprint
Source: https://docs.examin8.com/blueprint/normal-blueprint
Description of your new file.
### **Overview**
In a **Normal Blueprint**, the teacher defines the complete structure of the paper — including:
* Subject
* Chapter
* Question Type
* Question Category (e.g., VSA, SA, LA)
* Optional Difficulty Level
* Number of Questions
* Marks per Question
Each time a paper is generated using a Normal Blueprint, Examin8 automatically selects different questions of the same type and chapter, ensuring variety while following the same structure.
### **When to Use Normal Blueprint**
Use this when you want:
* Fixed control over which chapters are included.
* The same pattern reused across tests (e.g., periodic tests, pre-boards).
* Auto-rotation of questions while maintaining syllabus balance.
### **How to Create a Normal Blueprint**
1. **Go to** the *Blueprints* section in Examin8.
2. Click **“Create New Blueprint.”**
3. Choose **“Normal Blueprint.”**
4. Click **“Add/Edit Questions.”**
5. In the form (as shown below), specify:
* **Source:** Choose from *All*, *NCERT*, *NCERT Exemplar*, or *Previous Year Questions*.
* **Chapter:** Select the desired chapter (e.g., *Real Numbers*).
* **Topic:** Choose a topic or keep *All Topics*.
* **Question Type:** Select *Subjective*, *Objective*, or *Mixed*.
* **Category:** Choose the format (e.g., *VSA – Very Short Answer*, *SA – Short Answer*).
* **Difficulty Level (optional):** Select *Easy*, *Medium*, or *Hard* (if applicable).
* **Required Questions:** Enter how many questions you want from this selection.
* **Suggestive Marks:** Enter marks per question or per section.
6. Click **OK** to save your selection.
7. Repeat the process to add more sections or question types.
8. Once done, click **Save Blueprint.**
Your **Normal Blueprint** is now ready.\
Each time you create a paper using this blueprint, Examin8 will automatically select **new questions** following the same structure.

![Teacher 1]()
2. Now, click on the **Add teachers** button.
![Teacher 2]()
3. Here, you can add a teacher by email ID or mobile number. Adding a mobile number is mandatory at the time of teacher login, so we recommend adding teachers by mobile number directly. However, if you add teachers by email ID, they can add their mobile number later on.
4. While adding via mobile number, if you are not getting any data of the teacher, kindly ask the teacher to login on [https://app.examin8.com](https://app.examin8.com) with that mobile number first so that you can get his/her details there and assign permission.
5. You can also add teachers with dummy IDs like [teacher1@yourinstitutename.com](mailto:teacher1@yourinstitutename.com) and create individual passwords for them to log in. It is good to have uniform login IDs for all the teachers.
6. If the email ID is already registered in our database, you will get the option to add the number of papers to the teacher; otherwise, you need to register the teacher and then assign papers.
![Teacher 3]()
7. Enter the number of papers you want to assign to the teacher.
8. If you want to give permission to access any batch data to that teacher, you can give batch permission; otherwise, leave it blank
9. Click Save to proceed.
## Edit Teacher Permissions
![Teacher 4]()
1. To delete the parmission click on the Delete icon there.
2. To add or remove batch permission, click the batch icon.
3. To add more paper count or remove paper count, click the edit icon, then select (+) to add more papers and (-) to remove papers, then enter the paper count and click save.
# Batch Management
Source: https://docs.examin8.com/essentials/batch-management
Create batches and manage students online
With Examin8’s test generator, you can do more than just create question papers—you can also share online tests, worksheets, sample papers, study materials, and videos with your students. To enable this, simply create batches and add your students to them.
### Create Batch
To create a batch, go to the **My Institute** section, click **Batches**, and then select **Add Batch**. Schools can create section-wise batches such as VI-A, VI-B, VII-A, VII-B, and so on. Institutes can name batches based on subjects or schedules, for example, *Maths Morning Batch* or *Science Evening Batch*.
### Edit Batch Name
To edit a batch name, click on **Manage Batch** and scroll down to the **Summary** section. Then, click the **Edit** link to update the batch name.
### Delete Batch
To delete a batch, go to **Manage Batch**, scroll down to the **Summary** section, and click the **Delete** link. Before deleting the batch, ensure that all students have been removed from it.
## Student Management
In this section, you can add, remove, and assign students to batches. Once students are added to a batch in the Examin8 Test Generator, you can also track their performance and download their report cards.
### Add Students
There are three ways to add students to the batch.
1. With Email ID
2. With the Invite Link
3. With a CVS file (students in Bulk)
**(A)** **Add students with Email ID**: To add students with their email ID, there are two options:
(i) You can use a student’s existing email ID, such as a Gmail address. If the email is already registered with us, you can simply select a batch and complete the process. If it is not registered, a form will appear allowing you to enter the student’s first name, last name, and a password of your choice to continue. Since this is a third-party email domain, you will not be able to reset the student’s password or edit their name—only the student can do that.
(ii) We recommend adding students using dummy email IDs to protect their personal information and to retain the ability to reset passwords and edit student names whenever needed. To do this, choose a dummy email domain—preferably a short form of your institute’s name. For example, if your institute is *Laksha Academy of Excellence*, you can use [**lae.in**](http://lae.in) as the domain, creating email IDs like [*admissionnumber@lae.in*](mailto:admissionnumber@lae.in) or [*studentname@lae.in*](mailto:studentname@lae.in).
Ensure that each email ID is unique. Using an admission number or another unique identifier is recommended, as multiple students may share the same name. Alternatively, you can differentiate emails as [*kamal1@lae.in*](mailto:kamal1@lae.in) and [*kamal2@lae.in*](mailto:kamal2@lae.in).
**(B)** **Add students with the Invite Link**: We have provided an invitation link within the batch. Just copy this link and share it with your students. Here are the steps:
1. The student will click on the link and register themselves with their mobile number, email ID or Gmail or Facebook ID.
2. On successful registration, they will get a message "Approval Pending".
3. Now, you can go to **Batch** Management and click on the **Students** button.
4. Here, you will find all these pending requests for Approval under the **Pending** button.
5. Just approve the requests to add the students to the batch or reject them to discard. It is done.
**(C)** \*\*Add students in Bulk with a CSV file: \*\*If you are a school or coaching institute and are willing to add 100+ students in one go, you can share details on a CSV or Excel file. Our team will do it for you. Here is the format of this Excel file.
| First Name | Last Name | Email | Password | Class | Batch Codes | Institute Id |
| :--------- | :-------- | :---------------------------------------------------------- | :------- | :---- | :---------- | :----------- |
| AICHENG | GOGOI | [20207001@sibgovthsmp.org](mailto:20207001@sibgovthsmp.org) | 20207001 | 7 | R4JG8N | Leave Blank |
| | | | | | | |
Here, the email ID can be a dummy email ID, and the password can be any random 4–6 digit number. The **Class** should be a whole number between 1 and 12. For competitive exams like JEE or NEET, you can enter **12**. The **Batch Code** can be copied from the batch page and is displayed below the batch name. Leave the **Institute ID** field blank—we will fill it in for you.
Create this data in an Excel or CSV file and email it to [**contact@examin8.com**](mailto:contact@examin8.com).
### Remove Student
To remove a student, go to **Batch Management** and click the **Student** button. Select the student and then click **Remove**.
Once a student is removed from a batch, they will no longer be able to log in to that batch. However, you can add the student again at any time in the future.
### Disable Student
If you do not want to remove a student permanently but only wish to temporarily restrict access to content or online tests, you can disable the student by clicking the **Disable** button on the same page.
In this case, the student will still be able to log in to the batch, but the buttons for online tests and content access will remain inactive until the access is enabled again.
### Edit Student Name
If you have added students using a custom email domain and this feature is enabled in your Test Generator account, you can also edit the student’s name. To do this, go to **Batch Management**, click **Students**, and then select the **Edit Name** button below the student’s name to make the changes.
### Reset Student Password
On the same screen under **Batch Management > Students**, you will find an option on the middle right to reset a student’s password.
Please note that the **Reset Password** option is available only if you are using a custom email domain and have requested us to enable this feature for your account. For example, this applies when students are added using a dummy email domain such as [*studentname@yourinstitute.com*](mailto:studentname@yourinstitute.com).
### Change Batch
If a batch has already been assigned to a student and you need to change it for any reason, go to **Batch Management** and click the **Change Batch** button next to the student’s name. You can also assign the same student to multiple batches if required.
### Assign Batch
If you have conducted online tests using direct links and some students joined your institute without being enrolled in a batch, you can find them under the **Student** tab in the **My Institute** section.
On the Test Generator home page, scroll down to the **My Institute** block and click **Students**. On this page, click the **Batch Not Assigned** button to view the list of such students. Simply select a student and click the **Assign Batch** button to enroll them into a batch.
## Performance Analysis
When you go to **Batch Management** and click the **Students** icon, you will see two buttons below each student’s name: **Performance** and **Report Card**. The same analysis can also be accessed from the **Overall Performance** section in Batch Management.
![Rpa 1]()
### Report Card
The report card is the test-wise performance of the student. It shows the score of the student in individual tests attempted by the student.
![Pa 2]()
### Performance
Here, **Performance** refers to the student’s topic-wise analysis. It is crucial to understand which topics a student is performing well in and which ones need improvement. This analysis provides deep insights into the student’s overall topic-level performance, based on all the tests attempted by him or her.
![Pa 3]()
### Overall Performance
Consolidating both the Report Card (Test-wise Analysis) and the Performance (Topic-wise Analysis), we have an overall performance analysis inside Batch Management.

## Examin8 App Vs Custom App
The Custom Mobile App is essentially the same as the Examin8 Student App, but completely **rebranded with your own identity**. While the features and functionality remain the same, the Examin8 branding is replaced entirely with **your institution's name, logo, and brand elements**.
On your students' **Android devices**, the app will appear with **your brand name and app icon**—not Examin8. From the moment the app is launched, students will see your custom splash screen, creating a seamless branded experience.
Once logged in, students will continue to **interact only with your brand**. All menus, icons, and visual elements will reflect your institution's identity, and the academic content will be presented without any references, links, or branding related to Examin8 or myCBSEguide.
In short, this is a **fully white-label mobile app** that allows you to offer a complete digital learning platform under your own brand, giving your students a professional and consistent experience from start to finish.
## Key Features
As discussed, it's a refined version of the Examin8 app with your brand name. It has some very specific features as well as some limitations as follows:

## Limitations
This mobile app is offered as a SaaS (Software as a Service) product and is available only to users with an **active Test Generator package** and a **valid mobile app subscription**. Access to the app is restricted to your registered students. Please note the following limitations and conditions of the mobile app:
* **Batch Management Requirement:** Students can access the mobile app only if they have been added to a batch. Therefore, you must create batches and assign students to them through the dashboard to enable their access to the app and its resources. Here is how you can [create batches](https://docs.examin8.com/essentials/batch-management#create-batch).
* **Student Login Requirement:** To enable mobile app access, you must create a unique custom (dummy) login ID and password for each student, such as [*student@yourinstitute.com*](mailto:student@yourinstitute.com). Students registered using a personal Gmail address or mobile number cannot log in to the mobile app. This guide explains how to [add students to a batch](https://docs.examin8.com/essentials/batch-management#add-students).
* **App Distribution:** The mobile app is provided as an **Android APK file**, which can be downloaded from your Test Generator dashboard. You can share the APK download link directly with your students through WhatsApp or any other communication channel. Since the app is distributed outside the Google Play Store, some Android devices may display security warnings or encounter installation restrictions. In such cases, students may need to allow installation from unknown sources or adjust their device settings to complete the installation.
* **Freemium Resources:** The study resources provided through the platform are not entirely free. Revision Notes and NCERT Solutions are available to all students at no cost. Other resources follow a freemium model, where some content is accessible for free while premium items remain locked. When a student clicks on a locked resource, a message will appear like "Please ask your teacher to unlock the premium content for you". You can [**buy these premium resources**](https://app.examin8.com/purchase-student-subscription) from your Test Generator dashboard at a cost of ₹50 per subject, per student, per year and assign the same to your students. If a student leaves the batch or is removed before the subscription period ends, you can [**reassign the premium resource**](https://youtube.com/shorts/Wn9Phka4W0Q?si=OBiB_AHc8iVlaHza) access to another student for the remaining validity period, ensuring maximum utilization of your subscription.

**Step-1 - Get the equation in LaTeX format**
There are many LaTeX equation editors available that can help you create mathematical equations in LaTeX format. Here is one such editor that you can use easily.
1. Open [https://latexeditor.app/](https://latexeditor.app/)
2. Select the icon that you want to create. For example, to write a fraction, select first a/b icon and replace a and b with your numbers.
![Pasted 1768899558509]()
3. If the equation is displayed correctly, simply copy the LaTeX code. In the above case, the code is "\frac2345"
**Step-2 - Paste the LaTeX code in the question**
1. Now, come back to your question page and click on the place in question text where you want to add this equation, and then click Σ icon on the toolbar.
2. Delete the equation already written there and paste yours.

# Reseller Account
Source: https://docs.examin8.com/essentials/reseller
Reseller account on Examin8 Test Generator
Before we begin this document, let's first understand the difference between a standard account and a reseller account.
| Feature | Standard Account | Reseller Account |
| :------------------------- | :-------------------------------------- | :------------------------------------ |
| **Best For** | Single institute or teacher | Multiple institutes |
| **Account Control** | The institute owner manages the account | The reseller manages all institutes |
| **Paper Creation** | Institute & teachers | Institutes & their teachers |
| **Teacher Management** | Institute | Institute |
| **PDF Headers** | 3 headers only | Separate headers for each institute |
| **Institute Name & Logo** | 1 institute name & logo | Unique name & logo for each institute |
| **Teacher Header Access** | Use institute headers only | Use their institute's headers only |
| **Add Custom Headers** | Teachers cannot add headers | Teachers cannot add headers |
| **Multiple Institutes** | Not supported | Supported |
| **Branding** | Single institute branding | Individual branding per institute |
| **Centralized Management** | No | Yes |
Examin8 Test Generator offers two account types: **Standard Account** and **Reseller Account**. A Standard Account is designed for individual institutes or teachers. In this account, the institute owner can create question papers, access all available features, and add teachers to the account. The owner can assign a specific number of papers to each teacher for creation. The institute can upload up to **three PDF headers** along with **one institute name and logo**. All teachers added under that institute must use only the headers uploaded by the institute and cannot add or modify PDF headers themselves.
For users who wish to provide the Examin8 Test Generator service to multiple institutes, the **Reseller Account** is the ideal choice. A reseller can create and manage multiple institute accounts from a single dashboard while maintaining overall administrative control. Each institute under the reseller account can independently add its own PDF headers, institute name, logo, and teachers. This allows every institute to customize its question papers according to its branding requirements while the reseller oversees and manages all associated institutes.
### Summary
* **Standard Account**: Best for a single institute that wants to create papers, manage teachers, and use shared institute-level PDF headers and branding.
* **Reseller Account**: Best for users who want to manage **multiple institutes**, allowing each institute to have its own branding, PDF headers, teachers, and paper creation activities while maintaining centralized control through the reseller account.

# Dynamic Mode
Source: https://docs.examin8.com/exam-management/dynamic-mode
In Dynamic Mode, you can select the desired chapters, and the paper will be generated automatically based on a predefined blueprint. The same blueprint can be reused with different chapter selections. In this mode, the chapter-wise weightage is distributed almost evenly.
### When should you use Dynamic Mode?
If you’re not particular about chapter-wise marks distribution and prefer a standard exam format, such as 40, 60, 80, or 100 marks papers, then **Dynamic Mode** is the right choice.
This mode is also helpful when you want to create an annual exam-style paper using only selected chapters. For example, if you want to make an 80-mark paper similar to CBSE board exams but with fewer chapters, **Dynamic Mode** is the best choice.
### How to Create Papers in Dynamic Mode?
Here are the steps to follow while creating a question paper in dynamic mode:

# NCERT Textbook Mode
Source: https://docs.examin8.com/exam-management/textbook-mode
In the Examin8 Test Generator platform, the “Textbook” blueprint mode is a special option meant for creating question papers solely from the chapter-end questions given in the NCERT textbook rather than from the full question bank or a pre-filled blueprint. The best part of this blueprint mode is that it's 100% free.
### What is it?
* When you choose the “Textbook” mode as your source of questions, you’re opting to pick questions from the textbook’s chapter-end questions only.
* In this mode, you typically get the “NCERT Textbook” option under “Source Selection” when generating a paper.
* It is presented as the **free / “Basic”** mode of Examin8. Using the textbook-questions-only mode does not deduct from one’s paid-paper count (for users with a subscription) — it’s free to use.
### What it is *not*
* It is *not* the same as a “prefilled blueprint” mode, where the system uses a formatted question-paper template with marks, sections, difficulty levels, and a mix of question types drawn from the full question bank. (That would be other modes like “Automated” or “Dynamic”.)
* It doesn’t necessarily let you fully customise every aspect of structure unless you pick a more advanced mode; it’s oriented towards using textbook question lists.
### How to use it
1. In the paper-creation process: after selecting class, subject and module, you’ll see **Source Selection**. Choose the **NCERT Textbook** or equivalent.
2. Then you’ll choose **Blueprint Mode**: there you select the “Textbook” mode (or “Text-book” mode) as your structuring method.
3. You select the chapters from which you want to pull questions (because you’re working from textbook chapter-end questions).
4. The system displays the available textbook questions. You can pick them one by one.
5. Finalise the paper, download as PDF/Word.
### Demo Video
[https://youtu.be/hDrggDPkZh8?si=kzOKzW\_3hxtCXpn6](https://youtu.be/hDrggDPkZh8?si=kzOKzW_3hxtCXpn6)
### When to use the Textbook mode
* Ideal for **school-level term tests**, where you want to ensure questions are drawn directly from textbook-chapter-end questions (makes preparation more aligned with the students’ textbook work).
* Useful when you are working with boards/streams where the textbooks carry significant weight in examinations (for example, CBSE with NCERT).
* Good for quick paper generation without needing to worry about custom question types, difficulty mixes, and full question-bank variety.

Welcome to the Examin8 app! This guide is designed to help educators create question papers online within minutes.
## **Overview**
Test Generator helps Schools, Coaching Institutes, Teachers, and Tutors create Question Papers online in minutes with their names and logo.
Already Hundreds of schools and thousands of coaching classes are using it to create:
1. Question Papers

## Create Question Papers in Minutes
After one-time account setup, you can start creating question papers. Here is a broad overview of the test generator interface. Click on the **START** button or **CREATE PAPER** to continue and then choose your class & subject.
![Gemini Generated Image U0a9tyu0a9tyu0a9 Pn]()
### (1) Source of Questions
There are primarily two sources of questions. NCERT Textbook questions and all other questions. Here is a brief description of both of them:
**(a) NCERT Textbook**: If you choose the NCERT Textbook questions option, you will get all the in-text, example, and end-of-chapter questions exactly as they appear in the NCERT textbook. Creating question papers in this mode is completely free, and even with a paid plan, these papers will not be counted or deducted from your quota.
Create question papers using NCERT textbook questions. It's **100% free**.
**(b) All Questions (Premium):** This option includes questions from the NCERT textbook, NCERT Exemplar, previous years’ question banks, as well as questions created by our expert faculty and contributed by other teachers. It also features the latest exam-pattern questions, such as case studies, assertion–reason, multiple choice, fill in the blanks, true/false, statement-based, picture-based, map-based, passage-based, extract-based, and more. The question bank is updated almost daily to ensure fresh and relevant content.
### (2) Test Paper Type
After selecting the question source, you will be prompted to choose the type of question paper. If you select the **NCERT Textbook**, only two options will be available: **Question Paper** and **Worksheet**. However, if you choose **All Questions (Premium)**, you will have access to additional options. Below are the types of test papers you can create using the premium feature:
**(a) Question Paper (PDF/Word):** A standard question paper available in PDF and Microsoft Word formats. A separate solutions PDF is also provided. This format is best suited for offline examinations.
**(b) Worksheet (PDF/Word):** Similar to a question paper but without maximum marks, time limit, or general instructions. Ideal for creating worksheets and homework assignments.
**(c) Online Test – Objective (Link):** An online test consisting only of objective-type questions such as MCQs, true/false, fill in the blanks, and one-word answers. Results are generated automatically.
Go through this link to create and conduct Online Tests within minutes.
**(d) Online Test – Subjective (Link):** An online test that includes both objective and subjective questions. The objective section is evaluated automatically, while the subjective responses are assessed by the teacher. Students upload question-wise images of their answers.
### (3) Blueprint Mode
As part of our standard process, we first create a **blueprint** before preparing the actual question paper. A blueprint is the foundational framework of a question paper that outlines its overall structure. It clearly defines the number of questions, types of questions, mark-wise distribution, general instructions, total marks, and time duration. This ensures the question paper is well-balanced, systematic, and aligned with assessment objectives.
There are multiple blueprint modes available on Examin8 Test Generator. Here is a tabular comparison of all these blueprint modes:
| Mode | Expected Time | Skills Required | Flexibility |
| ------------ | ------------- | --------------- | ----------- |
| Manual | 30 Minutes | High | Very High |
| Express | 10 Minutes | Moderate | Moderate |
| Dynamic | 5 Minutes | Minimal | Moderate |
| Automated | 2 Minutes | Minimal | Minimal |
| PYQ | 2 Minutes | Minimal | Minimal |
| My Questions | 60 Minutes | Very High | Very High |
| Textbook | 30 Minutes | Moderate | Moderate |
As you know, we prepare a blueprint before creating an actual question paper. There are multiple blueprint modes to create papers. These are
Create a blueprint by adding sections and specifying the required number of questions in each section, chapter by chapter. This option is ideal when a high level of customization is needed.
Everything on one page. Just select the required questions from each chapter to create a paper. Suitable if less customization is required.
Select the chapters, and the paper will be generated automatically using a prefilled blueprint for 40, 60, 70 or 80 marks.
The question paper will be generated automatically based on a predefined blueprint, including specified chapters and chapter-wise weightage.

### **Advance Test Options:**
![Pasted 1762427149466 Pn]()
1. **Add internal Choice within Section**: If you want to give an internal choice within sections, like attempt any 5 questions out of the given 10 questions from a particular section, you should click on the enable button there and update the number of questions to be attempted. Leave blank if you want the student to attempt **all questions** from any section. You must **change the overall marks accordingly**.
![Pasted 1762427782428 Pn]()
2. **Negative Marking**: To enable negative marking, use this option. You will get different formats as below:
![Pasted 1762428065789 Pn]()
**(a) Overall Negative Marking**: It means you can implement a common rule for all the questions. For example, 25% negative marking means each and every question will have 25% negative marking.
![Pasted 1762428624921 Pn]()
**(b) Section-wise Negative marking**: It means, each section will have a different rule. Like section A will have 25% negative marking and section B will have no negative marking and so on.
![Pasted 1762428590731 Pn]()
**(c) Question Type-Wise Negative Marking**: If you would like to have different rules for each question type, you should select this option. For example, MCQs can be under 33% negative marking, MRQs (multiple correct) can have 50% negative marking, Numericals can have NO negative marking and Matching type may have any other rule.
![Pasted 1762428519111 Pn]()
3. **Continue**: Click **‘Continue’** to finalise your online test.
### Step 8: Online Test and Result Date - Time
1. **Quiz Start Date-Time**: This is the date and time when the online test will start. You can click on the right square icon to select the date and time.
2. **Quiz End Date-Time**: This is the date and time when the online test will end for all. It is not necessary to end the quiz exactly after the duration is over.
3. **Important Note**: Here are some very important points to note:\
**(a)** **The gap between start-time and end-time** can not be less than the quiz duration. For example, if the quiz duration is 60 minutes, there must be a gap of 60 minutes between the quiz start and end time. To keep the test live for a longer time, you can **keep a gap of 2-3 days or even more,** but not longer than your package expiry date. \
**(b) Start-time can not be less than the current time**. It means, if the current time is November 10, 2016, 10:45 PM, your start time can not be earlier than that. But you can put any future time up to your package expiry date.\
(c) You can **edit the date and time** of the test under MY PAPERS till the test actually starts. But once the test is started, you will get the option to change the date and time.
4. **Result Date and Time**: There are four options. Choose any one of them as per your requirement.\
**(a) When the quiz ends for all**: It means your students will get the result at the quiz end date and time. \
**(b) Let me decide a date**: You can pick a date to declare the result. It can be any date after the quiz end date & time.\
**(c) I will decide later**: You can leave it for now and decide on a result date later. Also, if you don't want to show results to your students, you can choose this option. \
**(d) When the student submits the test**: If you want your student to see the results immediately after submitting the test, you should use this option. The main drawback of this option is that if you are sharing the same test with multiple student who knows each other, they can share the answer key.
5. After that, click on **Create Quiz** to proceed.
### Step 9: Share Online Test
There are two ways to share the online test with your students:\
(a) Share using Normal Browser\
(b) Share using Safe Exam Browser

The following sections will help you understand each mode and choose the one that best fits your exam requirements.
## Exam Types
There are three primary formats available for conducting exams online.
1. Online Test (Objective) Link
2. Online Test (Subjective) Link
3. Online Test (PDF) File
**Comparision Table**
| **Tests** | **Objective (link)** | **Subjective (link)** | **PDF (file)** |
| :------------------------ | :----------------------------------------------------------------- | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| **How to Get the Result** | Results are generated automatically as per the teacher’s settings. | After teacher review, results are processed and released by the software. | Students can download their evaluated answer PDF to view the result. |
## Type of Test Links
There are **two types of test links** available: batch-assigned exams and open-link tests that are not tied to any batch.
### **(a) Test Assigned to Batch**
If a test is assigned to a batch, access is restricted to the students included in that batch. You’ll need a valid login ID and password or a registered mobile number provided by the institute to enter the exam.
**Test Link**: All batch-assigned exams can be accessed through a single universal link, regardless of class, subject, batch, or test name. Simply visit [**web.examin8.com**](http://web.examin8.com) to begin.
### **(b) Direct Test Link (without Batch)**
You can sign in using any email address or mobile number to begin. Once the test link is opened, you’ll be prompted to choose whether you’d like to attempt the exam through a web browser or the mobile app.
**Test Link**: When a test is shared through a direct link (without being assigned to a batch), a unique link is generated for each exam. These links are publicly accessible, meaning anyone who has the URL can open the test and log in using any email address or mobile number.
## How to Attempt the Test
There are multiple ways to attempt online tests. You can access them on normal web browsers, Safe Exam Browser and the Examin8 mobile app.
### (1) Normal Web Browser
If the institute hasn’t limited access to Safe Exam Browser, the test can be opened through any standard browser, including Google Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari.
**(a) Direct Test Link**: Just click the link and it will open automatically in your default browser. From there, sign in using your email address or mobile number to start the test. You may also choose **Sign in with Google** for a quicker login and then click **Take Test**.
**(b) Test Assigned to Batch**: Here are the steps to follow:
* Open [https://web.examin8.com](https://web.examin8.com) on any web browser.
* Sign in using the exact credentials registered with your institute or the ones they have provided for accessing this batch. Logging in with any other email address or mobile number will prevent you from entering the exam.
* Go to the **Assigned Test** link and then click **Take Test**.
![Pasted 1765193767483 Pn]( "Pasted 1765193767483 Pn")
**Important Guidelines**
* For the best experience, use **Google Chrome** to attempt the test. Ensure that the browser is updated to its latest version before you begin.
* Maintain a **stable internet connection** throughout the exam to avoid interruptions.
* While entering values for **numerical questions**, your keyboard may cover the *Save & Next* button. After typing your answer, either\
**(a)** tap anywhere on the screen, or\
**(b)** press the *down arrow* to return.\
Avoid any other action, as it may navigate you out of the test.
![Pasted 1765193656482 Pn]( "Pasted 1765193656482 Pn")
* If your test gets submitted unintentionally, **inform the invigilator immediately.** They may allow you to reattempt depending on the institute's policy.
* The system tracks how many times you move away from the test and displays this information to the institute along with your results.
* Before final submission, you’ll see a summary of **attempted and unattempted questions.** If anything looks incorrect, review and complete pending questions before submitting.
* You may use the **Review** option to check progress, revisit questions, or jump to a specific section or question number.
* To review questions, tap the **three-dot menu** in the top right corner. To return, use the **back arrow** in the blue header or the **back button** below. Any other action may cause you to exit the test unintentionally.
![Pasted 1765193609642 Pn]( "Pasted 1765193609642 Pn")
### (2) Safe Exam Browser
Safe Exam Browser (SEB) is a specially developed secure testing environment used to conduct online examinations with maximum integrity. It locks down the device during the test so students cannot switch apps, open new tabs, search for answers, take screenshots, or access external software or files. Once the exam begins, the system restricts navigation and limits the device to the exam window only.
SEB uses a controlled browser interface, custom security settings, and various configuration options that institutions can apply, such as:
* Disabling tab switching, app switching, and background navigation
* Blocking shortcuts like copy, paste, minimize, or screen capture
* Restricting access to other websites, applications, files, or external devices
* Running tests in full-screen mode with no exit option unless allowed by the administrator
First of all, you need to download and install **Safe Exam Browser** on your computer (if not already installed). Then open the downloaded .seb file by double-clicking it — the test will automatically launch inside SEB.
👉 Safe Exam Browser: [Download Link](https://safeexambrowser.org/download_en.html)
**How to attempt the test on SEB?**
**(a) Direct Test Link**
Just click the link and it will open automatically in your default browser. From there, sign in using your email address or mobile number to start the test. You may also choose **Sign in with Google** for a quicker login and then click **Download File**. Open the .seb file by double-clicking it — the test will automatically launch inside SEB. All other instructions are the same as for a normal browser.
![Sebs 2]()
**(b) Test Assigned to Batch**
Here are the steps to follow:
* Open [https://web.examin8.com](https://web.examin8.com) on any web browser.
* Sign in using the exact credentials registered with your institute or the ones they have provided for accessing this batch. Logging in with any other email address or mobile number will prevent you from entering the exam.
* Go to the **Assigned Test** link and then click **Download SEB file**.
![Sebs 1]()
* Now, download the file and open the .seb file by double-clicking it — the test will automatically launch inside SEB. All other instructions are the same as for a normal browser.
### (3) Examin8 App
Examin8 App is an Android application available on the Google Play Store, designed to offer a controlled and secure environment for online examinations. During the test, students are required to keep **Aeroplane Mode enabled**, ensuring no access to other apps, messages, or online resources that could be used to search for answers. Enabling Wi-Fi, switching to mobile data or disabling Aeroplane Mode triggers strict restrictions.
If a student turns on internet access or attempts to open external applications during the exam, the system immediately **auto-submits the test**, and access to unanswered questions is revoked. This mechanism ensures fair conduct, prevents cheating, and maintains exam integrity even without a fully locked browser environment.
The app is lightweight, user-friendly, and optimized for smooth performance across Android devices, making it a reliable option for institutes conducting secure mobile-based examinations.
**(a) Direct Test Link**: The test shared without a batch doesn't work on the Examin8 App. You will get the option to attempt it on a web browser or the Safe Exam Browser only.
**(b) Test Assigned to Batch**: Here are the steps to follow:
* Ensure that the [Examin8 App](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.examin8.exam) is updated to its latest version before starting your test.
* You must have at least **100 MB of free space** on your device to download the test.
* **Keep your internet ON** and open the Examin8 App.
* Sign in using the exact credentials registered with your institute or the ones they have provided for accessing this batch. Logging in with any other email address or mobile number will prevent you from entering the exam.
* Go to the **Assigned Test** link and then click **Take Test**.
* After you click the Take Test button, the test will be downloaded onto your device. After that, you will get a pop-up to enable offline mode.
![Pasted 1765197592369 Pn]( "Pasted 1765197592369 Pn")
* Here, you have to put your phone on Aeroplane mode until the test is going on. If you turn on internet access during the exam, the system will block further attempts and only allow you to submit the test, leaving no option to continue answering questions.
![Pasted 1765197958549 Pn]( "Pasted 1765197958549 Pn")
* If it happens accidentally, you can SUBMIT the test and then ask your institute to DELETE your attempt. So that you can attempt it again.
* In this situation, **Allow Re-Attempt will not function**. You must first submit the test, after which your institute can delete the attempt and enable you to retake it. However, this means all previously answered questions will be lost, and you will have to start the entire test from the beginning.
* After successfully submitting the test, you must upload it to receive your results. Submission alone is not enough; uploading is a mandatory step.
* To upload the test, you need to turn off Aeroplane Mode and enable your internet connection. Once connected, click on **Upload Test**.
![Pasted 1765198544682 Pn]( "Pasted 1765198544682 Pn")
* Your data will be synced with the server, and your result will be provided according to the institute’s configured settings.
## How to Get Results
Once a student submits the test, they are automatically taken to the results page. Depending on the institute’s chosen settings, the results will be displayed there. Students can revisit the same link at any time to view their results again.
![Pasted 1765259878211 Pn]( "Pasted 1765259878211 Pn")
You’ll be able to see your overall result along with a breakdown of each section.

# Two Column PDF
Source: https://docs.examin8.com/testpaper/compact-pdf
Description of your new file.
For competitive exams, the generated PDF generally have large number of pages. This costs a lot if the PDF needs to be printed.
To save both cost and page, we provide the option to generate compact PDF which displays questions in 2 columns thereby saving page.
Below is the example of a sample compact PDF.
![Pasted 1761807139966 Pn]()
To generate compact PDF, acess testpaper card in [https://app.examin8.com/user-testpapers](https://app.examin8.com/user-testpapers) , click Actions and then select **Generate 2 Column Question PDF**.

# PDF Header & Footer
Source: https://docs.examin8.com/testpaper/header-footer
Add and Edit PDF header and footer
You can include your **name and logo** in the Question Paper PDF files. To do this, open the **Institute Block** on the Test Generator dashboard and click on the **“PDF Headers”** icon.
![Pasted 1769506991728]()
You can add up to **three headers** here. If you are a school teacher who also runs your own coaching institute or teaches in two or three different coaching classes, you may add three separate headers and use them as needed while creating question papers.
## Header Types
There are **three types of headers**, and each serves a different purpose. Let’s understand them one by one.
### (1) Only Text
It is the case where you want to add only text in your PDF header page. For example, the school name and the school address.
![Pasted 1769507469758]( "Pasted 1769507469758")
This will display in a PDF file as below:
![Pasted 1769507739190]()
![Pasted 1769507785030]()
The last line is the footer of the PDF page.
### (2) Text + Square Logo
The second use case is where we are adding a square logo and text. Here is the example:
![Pasted 1769508279177]( "Pasted 1769508279177")
Here, you will get the option to add a square logo. Make sure that the logo is in jpg ro png format with a white background. Don't keep the background transparent.
![Pasted 1769508619741]( "Pasted 1769508619741")
You can upload and crop the image there. Below is the output:
![Pasted 1769509727886]()
### (3) Full-length Image (max-width: 750px by 100px)
To upload your own PDF header, you can use the third option there. Make sure that your header size is 750px by 100px in size. The background is recommended to be white. Just select the image from your device, crop and upload.
![Pasted 1769511071592]( "Pasted 1769511071592")
Here is the output of this header:
![Pasted 1769510782904]()
Follow this video to add or edit your PDF header.
# Internal Choice in Questions
Source: https://docs.examin8.com/testpaper/internal-choice
There are multiple use cases where we add questions differently, like internal choices, groups, inner groups, etc. In this article, we will take all such use cases.
### (1) Internal Choice within Question
This is the case where you need to add another question with an **OR** between them, allowing students to attempt any one of them. You can add a maximum of two internal choices within one question.
**(a) Example:**
![Pasted 1763985791760 Pn]()
**(b) Applicability:**
You can apply "Internal Choice within Question" to
1. Question Paper (PDF/Word)
2. Worksheet (PDF/Word)
It **doesn't work with** "Online Test - Objective (Link)" and "Online Test - Subjective (Link)".
**(c) Implementation:**
(i) While creating a question paper in any blueprint mode, you will get the option to add an internal choice in Step-3 (Preview & Generate Paper). Just click on the ACTIONS button below the question and click "Add Internal Choice". In this case, an internal choice question will be added from the same chapter. If you want to add the internal choice question from a different chapter, you must use manual mode while creating the paper.
![Pasted 1763986429639 Pn]()
(ii) If you are creating a question paper in Manual Mode or creating a blueprint, you will get the option to add an internal choice to the particular question. As an internal choice is provided against each question individually, you will get this option only if you have selected a **single question** in the required questions field.
![Pasted 1763986820496 Pn]()
You can select an internal choice from the same chapter or any other chapter while doing so in manual mode.
### (2) Internal Choice within Section
This is the case where we have given the choice to attempt n number of questions from a particular section.
**(a) Example:**
Suppose there are 10 questions in Section-B and you want students to attempt any 8 questions out of these 10 questions, you should use this feature.
![Pasted 1763987705885 Pn]()
**(b) Applicability:**
You can apply "Internal Choice within Question" to
1. Question Paper (PDF/Word)
2. Worksheet (PDF/Word)
3. Online Test - Objective (Link)
4. Online Test - Subjective (Link)
**(c) Implementation:**
When creating a paper in any blueprint mode, always enter the *full number of questions* that belong to each section, even if students will ultimately attempt fewer. This may temporarily increase the total marks, but that is expected. The marks will be accurately adjusted later in **Step 3**, when you apply **Internal Choice Within a Section**.\
Make sure to calculate these temporary extra marks correctly and carry both the actual question count and the inflated marks into **Step 2**, as the proper reduction happens in **Step 3**.
**Example (Manual Mode)**
If, in Section B, students are required to attempt **8 out of 10** questions, you **must** enter all **10 questions** in Step 2.\
This will temporarily raise the total marks, and that is fine—do **not** adjust the marks at this stage. The correct total will be applied automatically once the internal choice is set up in Step 3.
**Example (Express Mode)**
If all 3-mark questions fall under Section B, you should enter **10 questions** (totaling 30 marks).\
In Step 3, you will then have the option to reduce the effective marks by specifying an internal choice within that section.
**Important Note**
If you enter **only 8 questions** in Step 2, you will **not** be able to add the remaining questions later. As a result, you will be unable to apply **Internal Choice Within the Section** in Step 3.
**Implementation in Step-3**
Go to **“Advance Test Options”** and, under **“Add Internal Choice within Sections,”** click **Enable**.
![image.png]()
**Specify the number of questions the student should attempt in each section.**\
For instance, if a section has 25 questions and you want the student to attempt only 20, simply enter **20**.\
If you leave a section empty, it indicates **no choice is available**, and the student will be required to attempt **all** questions in that section.
![Pasted 1764050670585 Pn]()
**Be sure to update the total marks as well.**\
In the example above, the original paper had 75 questions for 300 marks (4 marks per question).\
If you reduce the total number of questions to 65, the marks must be recalculated:\
**65 × 4 = 260**.\
So, replace **300** with **260** in the total marks field.
Now, you will get this choice in PDF file as well as during online tests, students will get the option to attempt the specified number of questions.
### (3) Internal Choice within Group
This setting is used when several questions are combined into a single group, and students are allowed to attempt only a specified number of questions from that group. You can add a maximum of 50 questions to one group.
**(a) Example:**
Suppose a group has 6 questions, and students are asked to attempt any 5 of them. For example
![Pasted 1764051399752 Pn]()
**(b) Applicability:**
You can apply "Internal Choice within Group" to
1. Question Paper (PDF/Word)
2. Worksheet (PDF/Word)
It **doesn't work with** "Online Test - Objective (Link)" and "Online Test - Subjective (Link)".
**(c) Implementation: (MANUAL MODE ONLY)**
It works only in \*\*Manual Mode \*\*or while creating blueprints. You will **NOT** get this option in **Express Mode**. However, you may encounter such grouped questions in **Automated**, **Dynamic**, or **PYQ** modes, but in these modes, you can only modify the options provided.
**Steps to follow:**
1. Choose blueprint mode as MANUAL MODE while creating paper.
2. On the next screen, click on "Add Group Question"
3. Now select a label for this group. You can also type your own group label there or edit the provided labels.
4. Here in the label itself, you will mention how many questions students will attempt and also put the total marks for this group accordingly.
5. For example, if there are FIVE 3-mark questions and students need to attempt any FOUR of them, your label may be "Attempt any FOUR of the following questions:" and total marks assigned to this group will be 3 X 4 = 12 Marks.
![Pasted 1764052418659 Pn]()
6. Now, click on "Add Questions" within this box to add questions to the group.
![Pasted 1764052579593 Pn]()
7. Here, one pop-up will appear to add questions. If you want to add all questions from one chapter only, you can select all 5 questions at once.
![Pasted 1764052834155 Pn]()
8. Otherwise, if you want to add questions from multiple chapters, you can repeat points 6 and 7 multiple times for each chapter.
9. It means to add more questions from multiple chapters. You need to click "Add Questions" multiple times and choose the number of questions from that chapter.
### (4) Internal Choice between Two Groups
It is the case where we have two separate group questions with OR between them.
**(a) Example:**
![Pasted 1764063985752 Pn]()
**(b) Applicability:**
You can apply "Internal Choice within Group" to
1. Question Paper (PDF/Word)
2. Worksheet (PDF/Word)
It **doesn't work with** "Online Test - Objective (Link)" and "Online Test - Subjective (Link)".
**(c) Implementation: (MANUAL MODE ONLY)**
It works only in \*\*Manual Mode \*\*or while creating blueprints. You will **NOT** get this option in **Express Mode**. However, you may encounter such grouped questions in **Automated**, **Dynamic**, or **PYQ** modes, but in these modes, you can only modify the options provided.
**Steps to follow:**
1. Choose blueprint mode as MANUAL MODE while creating paper.
2. On the next screen, click on "Add Group Question"
3. Now select a label for this group. You can also type your own group label there or edit the provided labels. To make it exactly similar to the example given above, use label as "Attempt either A or B:"
4. After that, we will add two sub-groups to this group.
![Pasted 1764065192122 Pn]()
5. Click the "Add Group Question" link provided within the box. Enter label as "Answer the following questions". Choose a chapter, a topic and the number of questions, then click OK.
6. Repeat the above step to add another group question.
![Pasted 1764065524854 Pn]()
7. Now, add. more questions and proceed to next step.
### (5) Internal Choice within Paragraph Questions
This is the case where you are choosing questions based on a paragraph or an extract that is provided under "Add Paragraph Question" in manual mode or while creating a blueprint.
![Pasted 1764054875891 Pn]()
**(a) Example:**
If one case-study or extract has 5 questions and any one of them has an internal choice, you can use this feature.
**(b) Applicability:**
You can apply it to
1. Question Paper (PDF/Word)
2. Worksheet (PDF/Word)
It **doesn't work with** "Online Test - Objective (Link)" and "Online Test - Subjective (Link)".
**(c) Implementation: (MANUAL MODE ONLY)**
It works only in \*\*Manual Mode \*\*or while creating blueprints. You will **NOT** get this option in **Express Mode**. However, you may encounter such grouped questions in **Automated**, **Dynamic**, or **PYQ** modes, but in these modes, you can only modify the options provided.
**Steps to follow:**
1. Choose blueprint mode as MANUAL MODE while creating paper.
2. On the next screen, click on "Add Paragraph Question"
3. Now select the number of questions required. It should be less the provided questions to enable internal choice.
4. Then select the question number for which you want to add an internal choice and click OK.
![Pasted 1764055421717 Pn]()
It will show internal choice with the chosen question.
### (6) Internal Choice Between Paragraphs
This is the case where you are giving a choice between two paragraphs or two extracts that are provided under "Add Paragraph Question" in manual mode or while creating a blueprint.
**(a) Example:**
Two paragraphs or extracts are given with questions, placing the text \*\*OR \*\*between them.
**(b) Applicability:**
You can apply it to
1. Question Paper (PDF/Word)
2. Worksheet (PDF/Word)
It **doesn't work with** "Online Test - Objective (Link)" and "Online Test - Subjective (Link)".
\*\*(c) Implementation: \*\*
\*\*(i) MANUAL MODE: \*\*It works only in \*\*Manual Mode \*\*or while creating blueprints. You will **NOT** get this option in **Express Mode**. However, you can add this type of internal choice within two paragraphs in Step 3, too.
**Steps to follow:**
1. Choose blueprint mode as MANUAL MODE while creating paper.
2. On the next screen, click on "Add Paragraph Question"
3. Select one paragraph with the desired questions and click OK.
4. Now, click "Add internal choice" to get the same pop-up again.
![Pasted 1764056226628 Pn]()
5. Choose the paragraph again to add as another choice.
![Pasted 1764056192049 Pn]()
This will add another paragraph as an internal choice.
**(ii) EXPRESS MODE:**
**Steps:**
1. Select express mode while creating a question paper.
2. Select a chapter and the topic. You can choose all topics to get all questions from this chapter together.
3. Now, choose Paragraph like Case Study Questions (obj) \[set of 5 Ques] and enter the number of paragraphs required. Ideally, it should be 1 paragraph only because we will add the internal choice in step-3 only.
4. Each paragraph contains multiple questions. In this example, the paragraph includes a set of five questions. You can choose how many of these the student must attempt—any number up to five, but not more than that.
![Pasted 1764059879637 Pn]()
5. Then proceed to next step after adding more questions to the paper.
6. In step 3, you have the option to add an internal choice.
![Pasted 1764056369779 Pn]()
7. Just click ACTIONS below the paragraph text and click Add Internal Choice to get it.
# Creating Multiple Sets
Source: https://docs.examin8.com/testpaper/multiple-set
Description of your new file.
In an examination setup, maintaining question paper integrity is crucial to prevent cheating and ensure fairness. To address this, **Examin8** provides a powerful feature called **Multiple Sets**.
**Multiple Sets** allow teachers to create more than one version of the same question paper — for example, *Set A*, *Set B*, and *Set C*. Each set follows the **same blueprint or structure** (same chapters, question types, marks distribution, and difficulty level) but contains **different questions** or **a shuffled arrangement** of the same questions.
To create multiple sets for a question paper, access question card in [https://app.examin8.com/user-testpapers/](https://app.examin8.com/user-testpapers/), click **Actions** and select **Repeat** option.

Everything—from test creation to learning content—will be available directly on your website, under your branding.
## **How Does It Work?**
The process is simple and takes just a few minutes:
1. **Create a Subdomain**: We’ll ask you to create a subdomain (e.g., [exams.yourschool.com](http://exams.yourschool.com)) within your existing website.
2. **Update CNAME Record**: Next, you’ll update the CNAME record in your domain settings to point to the Examin8 platform.
3. **Customize Your Portal**: You’ll have the option to fully customize the integrated portal—add your institute’s name, logo, and address to maintain consistent branding.
Once completed, students can log in, take tests, view study materials, and watch learning videos without ever leaving your website. **Your brand stays front and center**, while we handle the technical aspects in the background.
## **What are the Charges?**
The **Exam Portal Integration for the Examin8 Test Generator** is designed to help educational institutions deliver a smooth, professional, and fully branded online assessment experience.

## **Key Differences Explained**
#### **1. Brand Identity**
* **Examin8 Portal:** When students take a test, they are aware they are using a third-party tool. While you can add your logo to the test papers, the "home" they visit is clearly an Examin8 platform.
* **Own Domain:** This is a "White-Label" solution. The student interacts with your brand throughout the entire journey—from logging in to viewing results. This builds significantly higher authority for your institute.
#### **2. User Journey & Retention**
* **Examin8 Portal:** Students must remember a different URL or download the generic Examin8 app. This break in the user journey can sometimes lead to confusion.
* **Own Domain:** It eliminates the "navigation gap." Because the exam portal is just a subdomain of your main site, like `exams.yourschool.com`Students feel they are always on your official platform.
#### **3. Professionalism for Parents/Students**
* **Examin8 Portal:** Common for smaller tutors or individual teachers.
* **Own Domain:** Preferred by established schools and coaching centres. It gives the impression that the institute has its own high-end technology infrastructure.
#### **4. Technical Implementation**
* **Examin8 Portal:** You just share a link.
* **Own Domain:** You (or your web developer) must create a **subdomain** and point the **CNAME record** to Examin8. Once the "handshake" between your domain and their server is done, Examin8 handles the hosting and security in the background.
### **Which one should you choose?**
* **Choose Standalone (Examin8)** if you are just starting out, have a very limited budget, or don't have your own institute website yet.
* **Choose Your Own Domain** if you have an existing website, want to grow your brand, and want to provide a premium, "all-in-one" experience where students never have to leave your site to study or take tests.

# SSO
Source: https://docs.examin8.com/third-party-integration/sso
Description of your new file.
Single Sign-On (SSO) provides an easier signup and login experience. Once SSO is configured, your users can directly access [https://app.examin8.com](https://app.examin8.com) with your website credentials. There is no need to manually create new accounts in our website.
We support any SAML 2.0–compatible Identity Provider (IdP).
Examin8 acts as the Service Provider (SP), and offers automatic user provisioning. You do not need to register as a user in Examin8. Once Examin8 receives a SAML response from the Identity Provider (IdP), it checks if this user exists. If the user does not exist, Examin8 creates a user account automatically with the received details.
Please contact our support team for configuring SSO in you account.
For SSO configuration, we need below information:
* **Email domain**
This should be a domain owned and managed by you. We will configure this domain for your organization's SSO login.
* **X.509 Public certifcate**
You will use your private key to digitally sign the SAML response or assertion. We will then use your public key to verify the signature and automatically login the user on successful verification.
Once we have configured SSO, we will provide you the ACS URL and other details.
ACS URL: [https://app.examin8.com/accounts/saml/\{slug}/acs/](https://app.examin8.com/accounts/saml/\{slug}/acs/)
Entity ID: [https://app.examin8.com/accounts/saml/\{slug}/metadata/](https://app.examin8.com/accounts/saml/\{slug}/metadata/)
Audience: [https://app.examin8.com/accounts/saml/\{slug}/metadata/](https://app.examin8.com/accounts/saml/\{slug}/metadata/)
Below are the attributes required in SAML Payload
```
uid - unique ID for each user (e.g. 65f45591db3604022812ba79)
email
first_name
last_name
```
You should add add these details to your IdP.
