How to download a topic-wise report
The topic-wise report breaks down each candidate's performance by question topic — useful for identifying weak areas, designing remedial content, or feeding back into placement / progression decisions.
Prerequisite
Topic-wise reporting requires that questions in the exam are tagged with topics. When creating a question (or via bulk upload), set the Topic field. Without topics, the report runs but every question rolls up under "Untagged".
Steps
- Log in as admin.
- Go to Result → Candidate Result.
- Select the exam.
- Optional: filter by batch, candidate ID, or date.
- From the Action menu, select Topic-wise Result.
- Click Generate.
- Click Export to Excel to download.
What's in the report
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|

- Per topic — one block per topic showing every candidate (toggle this from the report header).
- Batch summary — aggregate per-topic averages across the whole batch.
Common questions
Why does the report show many questions under "Untagged"?
Those questions were created without a topic tag. Go to Question Bank, open each question, set the topic, and re-run the report.
Can I email the topic-wise report directly to each candidate?
Yes — from Result → Publish, enable Email topic-wise breakdown to candidate before publishing. Candidates receive their personal report by email.
Can I view it as a graph?
Yes — in the report view, click Chart to see a per-topic bar chart per candidate, or batch-level radar charts.
