Assessment of Bangla Descriptive Answer Script Digitally

Answer script evaluation is an essential part of the student evaluation process in the education system. In an exam, students need to answer subjective and objective questions. In educational institutes, instructors need to evaluate the answer script manually to evaluate the students. In Bangladesh, the number of students and institutes are increasing day by day. For this reason, it is becoming hard to evaluate the answer script in a perfect way by the instructors. So it is necessary to find a way to evaluate the answer script automatically. Many techniques are proposed for the English language, but we didn't find any for Bangla language. Our paper proposed a way to evaluate Bangla subjective answer scrips automatically by keyword matching and linguistic analysis. Using our proposed model we have tested on answer scripts of 20 questions and found the minimum relative error of 1.8%. 15 teachers and 10 students volunteered to evaluate the answer scripts.
