ExamOnline

ExamOnline is an India-based B2B online examination and remote proctoring platform. Its parent company, Diversified Business Solutions, was founded in two thousand and nine, and its predecessor was the proctoring product Dr. Proctor. It is "AI-enabled" rather than AI-first: AI sits only in the proctoring perception layer, and there is no generative capability.

Core capabilities

• On-device proctoring inference: six open-source models (MediaPipe face and landmarks, EfficientDet-Lite2, YOLOX-S, InsightFace MobileFaceNet, Silero VAD) run local inference in the candidate's browser through ONNX Runtime Web.
• Threshold-based rule decisions: no large model, just thresholds plus a sliding window plus cooling: phone zero point four, book zero point two, laptop zero point four five, face cosine zero point four three, frames captured at three hundred and twenty by two hundred and forty, and an alert fires only once the hit count reaches the mark.
• Seven alert types: no face, wrong person, multiple people, book, phone, gaze off screen, and sound, aggregated into a proctoring report.
• Full workflow and integrations: registration, scheduling, question-bank sampling, delivery, grading, and certification in one chain; paper assembly follows predefined rules and subjective questions go to human graders; LTI connects Moodle and Canvas.

Where it fits Best suited to universities, certification bodies, state-owned enterprises, and government recruitment departments in India, South Asia, and the Middle East and North Africa: high-stakes exams with large candidate volumes, tight budgets, and a need for dual-camera plus human fallback. Teams that want self-serve signup, public pricing, or AI question generation and AI grading should look elsewhere.

Distinct advantage Most competitors send video to the cloud for inference; ExamOnline runs the models inside the candidate's browser, so video never has to go to the cloud for AI analysis and the privacy surface is cleaner. The moat is its delivery credentials for Indian government and enterprise recruitment exams: the full workflow, offline test centres, and custom development sold together.

Editorial assessment The reputation is solid but the sample is small: Capterra four point eight (fifty-three reviews), SoftwareSuggest four point nine (thirty-one reviews), G2 four point six, and Trustpilot only two. The weaknesses are clear: no free trial; Chrome only, and passing the compatibility check often means switching on GPU acceleration by hand; a fifty-one MB model sits in the candidate's browser download; DPDP and biometrics are not mentioned at all, the data is said to be in Milan while the storage bucket we tested is in Mumbai, and ISO 27001 exists only as a badge with no certificate number. Best suited to B2B buyers willing to go through a quote and training.
