Proctoring an exam remotely using state-of-the-art technology may be a good idea amid the Covid-19 health emergency. Remote proctoring is the need of the hour, but it doesn't go well with a lot of people. There are misconceptions about the potency of remote proctoring. Some think it can prevent cheating during online exams and protects the integrity of the test. Others say it is a myth that remote proctoring works, which is not true.

It is not a news that India has an acute shortage of teachers at elementary, secondary and even at the higher levels of schools. According to the statistics given by the Human Resource & Development (HRD)Ministry of India in 2016, there is a shortage of 1 million teachers across the country. In case of Universities and Colleges, there is a chronic shortage of faculty and the problem of finding qualified people to fill this gap has become even more complicated. In such a scenario, how can India, a country which has the second largest population in the world would cope-up with the challenges of providing quality education to all. Several education experts are saying that our system needs a revolutionary technological intervention. An intervention that would make it more inclusive and accessible.
