How to assign an exam schedule to an individual candidate
For: institute admins and exam administrators
Use this when one or a few specific candidates need an exam, for example a make-up exam or a late registration.
Steps
- Make sure a schedule exists for the exam: Exam Management → Exam Scheduler → New. For a personal slot, create a separate schedule with the times you need.
- Go to Candidates → Assign To Exam.
- Pick a From/To date range and click Go, then select the Exam and Schedule Date Time.
- Search for the candidate by name, email or roll number.
- Tick the candidate (or several candidates).
- Choose Actions → Assign To Exam and confirm "Are You Sure You Want To Assign Selected Candidate(s) To The Exam Schedule?".
- To notify the candidate, keep them ticked and choose Actions → Email.
For many candidates at once, use Assign By Batch or Assign in Bulk. See Assign a schedule to one or more batches.
Extra time for a candidate
Use Candidates → Add Time to give extra minutes to selected candidates, or Add Time for PH Candidates for candidates marked as having a disability. See End, resume or add time to a candidate's exam.
Remove an assignment
In Assign To Exam, tick the candidate and choose Actions → Remove. This is not possible once the candidate has started the exam.
Common questions
The candidate says they did not receive the email.
Check Communication → E-mail Records: search by the candidate's email ID to see whether it was sent and its delivery status. Ask the candidate to check Spam and Promotions. See Sending exam schedules to candidates.
Can I assign several different exams to the same candidate?
Yes. Repeat the steps for each exam and schedule. The candidate's dashboard lists all assigned exams.
"Exam Has Already Been Started By The Selected..."
The candidate already began this schedule. Use Resume Exam or Add Time instead.
