NEP 2020 recommends every school to transition to tech-enabled adaptive assessment to monitor and measure the progress of individual students throughout their academic journey.

MCQs are the most effective and efficient formats of questions for all types of assessment – formative or summative.

MCQs are extremely effective to assess higher-order thinking abilities, provide instant (or timely) feedback to students, and generate useful data for teachers.

MCQ quizzes can be used by educators to diagnose learning gaps, pre-knowledge, engagement in learning, or attainment of specific learning outcomes.

Developing the skills to design accurate MCQs needs considerable effort.
