Question 1

What is GradeSense?

Accepted Answer

GradeSense is AI-powered grading infrastructure for institutions. It reads handwritten answer sheets, grades them against your rubric, and generates structured feedback for each student — all under teacher oversight.

Question 2

Can GradeSense read handwritten answers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our OCR engine is specifically trained for handwritten answer sheets across multiple languages. It handles diverse handwriting styles, margin notes, and strikethroughs with 95%+ accuracy.

Question 3

How does rubric-based grading work?

Accepted Answer

You define your marking scheme — scoring criteria, expected answers, partial credit rules, negative marking, etc. The AI then evaluates each student response against your specific rubric, not a generic model.

Question 4

Can teachers override AI grades?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Teachers have full authority over every single grade. The AI suggests scores and feedback, but teachers can approve, modify, or override any result before publishing.

Question 5

Is my institutional data safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. We use SOC-2 aligned infrastructure hosted on ISO-certified Indian data centers. We never share your data with third parties for model training purposes.

Question 6

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

GradeSense is completely free during our pilot program. All features are included with no usage limits. Paid plans will be introduced later with preferential pricing for pilot institutions.

Question 7

What exam formats are supported?

Accepted Answer

GradeSense supports scanned answer sheets, phone camera photos, PDF uploads, and printed exams. It works with descriptive, essay-type, and short-answer formats — not MCQs.

Question 8

How fast is the grading process?

Accepted Answer

A batch of 500 answer sheets typically completes within 30 minutes. Individual sheets are processed in seconds. Teachers can begin reviewing results as soon as sheets are processed.

Question 9

What kind of feedback do students receive?

Accepted Answer

Each graded answer includes per-question feedback: what was correct, what was missed, key concepts, and specific improvement suggestions. Feedback can be reviewed and edited by teachers before publishing.

Question 10

What languages does the AI grading system support?

GradeSense supports multilingual handwritten and printed text recognition. Currently, it supports English, Hindi, and major regional Indian languages, making it suitable for coaching centers and schools nationwide.
