Following the Footsteps of the Famous

 

 

When you visit the “ Prepare for JEE – NEET – CET “ section of www.My-Teacher.in , you come across following statement :

“ Over 294 Quintillion Unique tests. Yes , our system can generate more than 294 Quintillion unique Test Papers from our extensive question bank , ensuring no two tests are ever the same “

How do we conjure up this ( seemingly similar ) Magic ?

Our clever team member ( developer ) Kishan explains as follows :

“Here's how the LLM's intelligence is leveraged:

When generating questions, the LLM was instructed to determine the difficulty based on factors such as the complexity of the concept, and the potential for confusion among students.

For example, simple recall or basic concept questions may be classified as 'Easy,' questions requiring multi-step reasoning as 'Medium,' and questions involving advanced concepts or tricky interpretations as 'Hard “

Now , I was vaguely aware that Microsoft uses some similar process for generating UNIQUE test papers for its online exams of MCSE . So I asked ChatGPT to compare our feature with that of Microsoft . It came up with the following tabulation ( - a vindication of my request to NTA to adopt this technology for administering NEET ) :

 

Aspect	www.My-Teacher.in	MCSE Certification Tests
Objective	To generate unique tests for students, ensuring consistent difficulty across different sets.	To ensure test integrity by providing unique questions with consistent difficulty across test-takers.
Technology Used	Utilizes LLM (Large Language Model) to determine question difficulty based on concept complexity and confusion potential.	Uses adaptive testing technology and a large question pool to maintain consistent difficulty.
Difficulty Determination	Questions are classified as 'Easy,' 'Medium,' or 'Hard' based on the complexity and reasoning required.	Questions are tailored in difficulty, maintaining an overall balanced difficulty level across different test versions.
Test Composition	Each test includes 2 easy, 2 hard, and 6 medium-level questions, selected from the database.	Each test is generated from a large question pool, with questions dynamically selected to match the required difficulty level.
Purpose of Question Variation	Ensures that even though all questions vary, the test difficulty remains consistent for all students.	Prevents cheating by ensuring two test-takers cannot receive identical questions, while maintaining consistent difficulty.
Scalability	Designed to be scalable for different students across various subjects and grades.	Scalable for different candidates globally across various certification tracks.

Both systems aim to provide a fair and consistent assessment experience by dynamically adjusting the test content to maintain a consistent level of difficulty.

A Swiss Army Knife ?

 

 

Following advt appeared on the front page of Hindustan Times ( 03 Sept 2024 ) . It was inserted by a leading Education Institute :

 

In the photo above , you get to see only 2 out of a total of 12 questions posed – each ( except for the 12^th question ) , offering a reader , 9 options to choose from – presumably implying that the readers who have school going children , would know – and choose – the name of the advertising institute

Among those 9 options , there is no mention of >  www.My-Teacher.in

That is understandable, considering that www.My-Teacher.in , is barely 2 months old

An infant among giants

Then there is one more reason .

 www.My-Teacher.in does not claim to be a Swiss Army Knife , which offers 12 different tools which are routinely used by :

Ø  An Electrician

Ø  A  Carpenter

Ø  A  Mistry

Ø  A  Housewife

Ø  A  Mason

Ø  A  Tailor ………… etc etc

 

www.My-Teacher.in , offers only 3 sharply focused tools for  school going children , viz :

     >   Answers for Syllabus related Questions ( from 1^st Standard to 12^th Standard )

Ø  Answers for "Questions Beyond Syllabus" ( for developing an inquisitive mind )

Ø  Prepare for JEE - NEET – CET ( 294 Quintillion Mock Tests with MCQ answers )

 

Dear Parents / Students :

 

Some of you may be wondering why the advertiser missed out ( on purpose ? ) following option :

 “  Mock Test generation of which of the following Educational Institutes, is TOTALLY FREE – and can be accessed on your mobile browser , without need for registering / login ? Which service gives you instant feedback ( Correct or Incorrect ) along with explanation of why your chosen option was right or wrong ? “

That would have forced the advertiser to add to the list of those institutions > www.My-Teacher.in  !

But of course , “ One has to make right choices for one’s career and life “
