Abstract: Online examination can be referred to as a means of taking examinations in a digital form, either through a secured or an unsecured network. In this paper we propose an online examination system capable of returning answer corrections as feedbacks to its end users/ candidates. The proposed system is to allow students take examinations from home at their own comforts and time, but must be during the institution’s end or mid semester examination period. The proposed system is to allow the creation of course, which comes with the creation of examinations and its components, and does not allow the retaking of examination after the semester’s examination season. The proposed system is designed to work with “time countdown” during the examination and return the students marks and corrections of wrongly answered questions upon the completion of the examination. The time countdown auto-starts and auto-disables the take examination page when the examination duration elapses.
