On-Demand Examination System
Delhi State Board of Open School Education (DSBOSE)
The Delhi State Board of Open School Education (DSBOSE) offers a well-structured and student-focused On-Demand Examination (ODE) system for learners enrolled in Class X and Class XII. This advanced examination framework has been designed to provide maximum flexibility, convenience, and transparency, in line with the principles of open and distance learning.
The Registration Branch of DSBOSE is responsible for enrolling students at the Secondary and Senior Secondary levels and for issuing unique Registration Numbers. Any corrections or updates required in the registration certificates are managed exclusively by this branch, ensuring accuracy and uniformity in student records.
A key advantage of the On-Demand Examination system is that students are not required to wait for fixed six-monthly or annual examinations. Instead, learners are empowered to choose their own examination dates based on their level of preparation and personal readiness. This learner-driven approach helps reduce academic pressure and allows students to plan their examinations more effectively.
To safeguard the integrity of the examination process, DSBOSE has implemented a multi-layer security system. Each student receives a unique question paper, which is generated on the day of the examination and immediately encrypted to maintain complete confidentiality. Examinations are conducted under web-based closed-circuit camera surveillance, ensuring a secure and fair assessment environment.
The ODE registration process is fully digital and user-friendly. Students can register online anytime and from anywhere, making the system highly accessible. Hall tickets are issued online and clearly specify the examination date, time, and venue. DSOSE also offers a multi-mode fee payment system, including online payments through credit/debit cards as well as offline payments via bank draft.
To enhance student support, DSOSE provides automated online services for clarification of doubts and dissemination of examination-related information. On the day of the examination, attendance is submitted online, and the examination superintendent uploads marks and awards digitally, ensuring accuracy and timely processing of results.
The concept of the On-Demand Examination has been developed as a major step toward flexibility in open schooling. By removing rigid time constraints, the system allows students to appear for examinations when they feel fully prepared. Currently, On-Demand Examinations are conducted at all study centres during the first week of every month, providing regular opportunities for learners.
Through the On-Demand Examination system, DSBOSE continues to strengthen its commitment to learner-centric education by offering a flexible, secure, and efficient assessment model that supports academic success and lifelong learning.
