AI-led Competency based assessments – School Education Department, Government of Rajasthan

AI-led Competency based assessments

Problem

  • Conventional school-level assessments lacked standardisation, placed a heavy burden on teachers for grading, and failed to provide timely, actionable insights for improving learning outcomes.
  • Large-scale standardised assessments were expensive and required external invigilation, making them infeasible for continuous implementation at scale.
  • Teachers struggled with identifying individual student needs and lacked immediate guidance on lesson planning and targeted intervention strategies.
  • Traditional report cards with numerical grades were difficult for non-literate parents to interpret, reducing their ability to support their child’s learning.
  • The initial assessment cycles recorded high instances of classroom-level cheating, affecting the integrity of competency-based evaluations.

Solution

  • Implemented an AI-integrated assessment system that digitizes student responses via a mobile app, reducing the burden of manual correction and ensuring real-time evaluation.
  • Integrated AI assessments within the existing academic framework, eliminating the need for expensive standardised assessments while maintaining assessment integrity.
  • Introduced star-based competency report cards to simplify performance tracking for parents, enabling more meaningful engagement with teachers.
  • Established dedicated district-level control rooms to monitor assessment implementation, handle logistical issues, and provide real-time solutions for technical challenges.
  • Integrated AI-based assessments into Shivira (state academic calendar) and Rajasthan’s Shikshak App and Shala Darpan MIS, ensuring long-term sustainability and scalability.

Outcomes

  • A measurable reduction in the percentage of students lagging behind by two grades, as observed across multiple assessment cycles.
  • AI-driven personalized insights helped teachers address competency gaps more effectively, improving remedial interventions for struggling students.
  • Over 50 lakh students across Rajasthan were evaluated without increasing teacher workload, as AI handled digitization and grading.
  • AI-led assessments were successfully institutionalized, undergoing seven cycles between April 2022 and January 2025, proving sustainability within the education framework.
  • Automated data collection and real-time monitoring strengthened education policymaking and accountability across all schools.
