Half Million Tests on Lionsher - An end-to-end Assessments Provider

PRLog (Press Release) - Feb. 7, 2013 - Lionsher touches the half-million mark this month. For a technology product that is just about 2 years old, delivering half-million tests is a great achievement.

Lionsher is a mature cloud-based assessment platform that helps organizations and institutions run examinations online. With the rapid growth of the education sector in the country, there is a pressing need to move traditional paper-based examinations online. Lionsher provides assessment technology to leading publishing houses, top corporate houses, test preparatory companies and educational institutions.

Every year in India, at least 40 Lakh students aspire to enter engineering institutes and business schools through coaching centers. With large competitive examinations (such as AIEEE – 11 lakh students, GATE – 5.6 Lakh students and CAT – 2.25 lakh students) going online, a large playing field has been created for test preparation institutes across the country, irrespective of the geographic location, as they can expand quickly and reach out to newer markets. In order to be effective, they need to administer and evaluate mock tests at frequent intervals.

Setting test papers, administering tests and evaluating (checked, scored and benchmarked) becomes critical to their operations. Managing all these manually using traditional paper-based method is a time-consuming and laborious activity. Spending so much effort on a non-core activity, turns out to be every expensive for training institutes. While some large players (coaching classes and test-prep institutes) have their own content and delivery platforms, a majority of small and mid-size players are grappling with technology.

This segment needs technology products that help students prepare for competitive examination better. Over time, many large competitive examinations have moved online such as CAT and AIEEE. This has created a large playing field for test preparation institutes. They can expand faster and reach out to newer geographies.

While some of the large test prep institutes have their own content and delivery platform, most of the smaller and mid-size players are grappling with technology and how to offer it to their students. Additionally, there is a constraint on the number of tests that they have, they have a limited set of tests in-house.

Lionsher offers cutting-edge technology platform to large test prep institutes. Lionsher, along with its content partners, offers tests to small & mid-sized test prep institutes. The focus is to ensure that Lionsher enables test prep institutes to conduct online tests to prepare students for common entrance exams (such as AIEEE, BITSAT, GATE, GRE, CLAT, IITJEE, CET, CAT etc).
