Evalezy vs checking copies by hand
| Evalezy | Checking by hand | |
|---|---|---|
| Who decides the final mark | The teacher. AI marks are a draft until released | The teacher |
| Time for 100 copies | About 2–3 hours of machine time, then a review | About 10 hours at 6 minutes a copy |
| Consistency across copies | One scheme per question, applied to every copy | Drifts with fatigue and between checkers |
| Feedback on the copy | A tick, cross or note on every answer, with the correct answer where it was wrong | Depends on the teacher's time |
| Half marks | 0.5-mark steps against criteria | Yes |
| Diagrams and drawings | Judged by labels and written explanation only | Fully judged |
| Cost | ₹1 per page checked | Teacher time, or ₹/copy to outside checkers |
| Unreadable handwriting | Flagged for review, never guessed, not charged | Teacher deciphers it |
Choose checking by hand when
- The paper is mostly diagrams, maps or drawings
- It is a small class and the teacher has the time
- The answers are in a language Evalezy has not been tested on yet
Choose Evalezy when
- Copies arrive in the hundreds after every test
- Several teachers or centres mark the same paper
- Students need written feedback, not just a score
- You want to test more often without adding checking load
It is not either-or
Evalezy is designed to keep the teacher in charge. The AI does the reading and the first marking; the teacher reviews, edits any mark and decides when results go out. A teacher's edit is never overwritten by a later AI run.
Where the time goes
By hand, most of the time goes into reading every line of every copy. With Evalezy, the reading is done for you: the teacher sees each answer as read, the marks, the reasons and the criteria, and spends their time on the answers where judgement matters.
What students notice
A checked copy from Evalezy looks like a teacher checked it: red ticks, crosses with the correct answer, a note where marks were lost, marks per question and the total circled on page one. Students get more written feedback than a rushed manual check usually allows.
| Q | Score | Remark |
|---|---|---|
| Q4 | 0 / 1 | Incorrect |
| Q5 | 0 / 1 | Incorrect |
| Q6 | 0 / 1 | Incorrect |
| Q21 | 1.5 / 2 | Partially correct |
| Q30 | 0.5 / 3 | Partially correct |
A number per question. The student never sees where on the page they went wrong.

Frequently asked questions
Will teachers trust AI marks?+
They do not have to. Every mark is a draft that a teacher can change, and the reasons are written next to each answer, so checking the AI's work is quick. Most teachers start by reviewing every copy, then focus on the ones flagged for review.
Is AI checking fair to students?+
It applies the same criteria to every copy, which removes the drift that comes with fatigue and multiple checkers. Fairness still needs a good marking scheme, which is why you can edit every criterion before you run the check.
