Question papers

Question Papers builds a draft question paper from the school's own syllabus. You upload or type the syllabus, confirm its chapters and topics, say what the paper should look like (sections, question types, marks, difficulty, language), and the ERP generates a draft. The draft opens in a preview where you edit it, then save it to the register and print it. The generator, JPRAXC Local Question AI, runs on the school's own ERP: the syllabus is not sent to any internet service, and it works on the Offline edition too.

• Teachers can also use it from the staff portal or Staff app when their account has Question Papers ticked (see Staff and HR).
• The syllabus as a PDF, Word (.docx) or text file, or ready to type in. Text-based PDFs work best; a scanned image of a page cannot be read, so type or paste that text instead.
