Automatic Question Generation Using Software Agents for Technical Institutions

In the attempt of producing quality graduates, a major factor that needs a considerable amount of attention is the institutions evaluation system. Now, in order to produce quality result their examination system must be very effective, questions must be able to assess students in every domain. Preparation of question paper with high standard that really kindles the student’s thinking ability is very challengeable task that need to be performed by the academicians. There arises a need for automatic question generation. For all the existing automatic question generating systems, the problem lies either in eliminating the user’s role or in developing factual questions based on Bloom’s taxonomy. To overcome these issues, in the proposed system, the focus is to take input in form of a text file from user which contains of the text upon which the user desires to fetch questions; the output is produced in form of a text file containing questions based on Bloom’s taxonomy. The entire process is carried out by software agents, which eliminates the major problems of existing systems.
