Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Now as I approach my 90th birthday ( 27 June 2023 ) , I invite you to visit my Digital Avatar ( www.hemenparekh.ai ) – and continue chatting with me , even when I am no more here physically

RE: NEXT > Surprise-Exam.in

 Kishan ,

 

Attached chart will help us reach some tentative decisions re www.Surprise-Exam.in , when we meet tomorrow

 

By no means , it is comprehensive but enough to start work on SYSTEM DESIGN

 

Mention of VSK ( Vidya Samiksha Kendra / State-wise and Central ) is only to ensure that , when those portals get launched , we are in a position to “ Feed / Input “ School-wise data about “ ongoing academic performance “ of its students , onto the State VSK portals concerned

 

A school’s ability to “ migrate “ such student-wise / school-wise data onto the State VSK portal , could prove to be a huge INCENTIVE for school Principals to register for www.Surprise-Exam.in (  look  at para ECO-SYSTEM on VSK website , which envisages “ Private Players “ )

 

Since a teacher will generate a “ Surprise Exam “ ( our existing Mock Test module of My Teacher – with additions of 9-10-11th standard and possibly SWAYAM courses ) , after entering a classroom AND the students would receive these exams on their Mobiles / Laptops , our TARGET MARKET is only those schools which allow its students to carry their mobiles into the classes ( or even require students to bring along their laptops )

 

In India , this ( Target Group ) would be no more than 0.1 % of our 15 lakh schools ( ie apprx 1500 Private City schools – which , most likely charge Rs 25000 per month by way of Tuition Fees )

 

These schools may already have a laptop or a desk top on the table of every child

I haven't had the chance to prepare a full estimate for the project’s timeline and cost yet. I plan to complete it this week, and we can have an in-person meeting on Sunday, September 15th.

Kishan ,

 

As far as My Teacher is concerned , hopefully we will start mass-mailing through provider Mailup , in next 2 / 3 days . 3P already has an account with this Italian company

 

About a week ago , during our Video meet , I had asked you to carefully study my attached note re development of > www.Surprise-Exam.in

 

(  I had originally sent this note on 29th June _

 

I had asked you to come up with a COST and TIME estimate for launching this ( as a PAID service , designed for use by School Teachers )

 

During the video call , I had pointed out :

 

Ø   Mock Test Generation module is already working satisfactorily in My Teacher . It will be copied in Surprise-Exam

Ø   We will need to develop following modules :

    

        #  Registration / Edit / Password / OTP / Login / Aadhar /  PAN / Bank Ac details

 

Ø   As an Individual

 

Ø   As a School Principal / Administrator / Trustee / Edu Secretary of a State Government

 

( In this case , Principal would need to fill in “ List of Authorized Teachers “ with their full details – and LIMITS for each teacher )  

 

        #  Target ( Students ) Groups generation / Edit / Add / Delete

 

        #   Test selection / Target Group Selection – cum – Delivery – WhatsAPP ? ( only after deduction of PER RECIPIENT  fee of Re 1.0 and confirmation ).

 

              This will be a PRE-PAID account basis ( Rs 500 initial payment / with provision to change both initial amount and PER USER amount )

             

 

              QUESTION :

              To start with ( without first “ Experiencing “ our service ), how can people trust us and pay up Rs 500 ? we may need to find some FREEMIUM

 

              method to generate interest / trust

 

        #    Return Delivery of Test to the ( sender ) Teacher by the concerned “ Student Group “ / Teacher OK for storing SCORE in Dashboard

 

        #    Student Dashboard ( Test Taken History )

 

        #    Teacher Dashboard ( Tests generated / stored / dispatched )

 

        #    Principal  Dashboard ( Aggregation of Test Histories , Teacher-wise / Class-wise / Student-wise ) with FORWARD TO PARAKH facility

 

        #    Online Payment module / Minimum Amount to start with / Recharge History / Balance History / Bank details

 

        #    STATISTICS counters ( separate for PUBLIC VIEWING and for PRIVATE VIEWING by me )

 

 

   As we proceed with development , there could be need to develop some more modules

 

    In a normal course , on my own , I would have :

 

Ø   Drawn a BLOCK DIAGRAM for CONTENT FLOW

Ø   User Interfaces for all pages

 

Unfortunately I do not think I have energy ( physical + mental ) to do this ( Manish Chauhan > Can you try ? )

 

Once I approve your estimates for TIME and COST , you could do this – wireline ? ( my attached chat with ChatGPT is quite comprehensive )

 

WHY IS THIS PROJECT SO VERY IMPORTANT ?

 

Ø   Under New Education Policy , final score for passing ( or failing ) , 12 th standard will NOT rely entirely on the marks obtained in the 12th standard exam BUT , will ALSO depend upon marks obtained in the earlier year exams of 9 – 10 – and 11th standards as well

 

{ Read > https://myblogepage.blogspot.com/2024/08/is-your-child-ready-for-new-12th-exam.html  }

 

Ø    Look up following links . Whereas Govt seems to have “ good intentions “ ( of taking into account results of 9-10-11 th standards with some weightage ), it has so far NOT delivered any MECHANISM for “ plug in “ . Surprise-Exam will provide precisely such a mechanism ! Since Education is a STATE subject , some states may like our service – and ask Principals to register !

 

 

Let me know when you will be ready for a face – to – face meeting
