Online Proctored Synchronous Phase I and Phase II Final Examination

Online Proctored Synchronous Phase I and Phase II Final Examination - First of Its Kind!

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic made it necessary for us to conduct 100%-proctored online exams. It was a great challenge, but we as a small team in MAHSA’s School of Medicine took it up and made it a success.

Our historic first-ever online proctored (pro-part B exam) for the Year 2 MBBS final professional examination was held on 29th and 30th August 2020 and involved live video streaming of the students taking the exams with real time screen sharing with the allotted invigilators, making sure they were proctored mirroring traditional face to face invigilation, which was also appreciated by our external examiners.

The exams included online proctoring of theory, OSPE and Digital OSCE. We also take pride in the fact that we are one among the very few medical schools who have obtained the MMC approval for the conduct this mode of exam under these challenging conditions.

Our effort included developing tools to support online exams which was ably supported by the IT and LMS team of MAHSA University. Developing an SOP on conducting this exam was a challenge as it was first of its kind.

However, with the collaborative effort of the examination team and deanery, an effective and reliable system was developed. The participation and support of all the faculty members involved was overwhelming throughout Phase 1 and Phase2.

It was an endeavour towards our objectives as ONE team with limited resources. The execution of the trial mock exams 1 and 2 and the final exams received positive feedback from the students and staff.

The exam committee takes this opportunity to thank the deanery and MAHSA management for the advice and timely support in achieving this task with flying colours and for the commitment and enthusiasm shown by all the invigilators, examiners, and the support staff.
