In their own words
IntelliEXAMS
IntelliEXAMS is Mindlogicx’s digital assessment platform ecosystem, offered through IE Prime and IE NG. It covers exam design and authoring, delivery, evaluation, analytics, and result synchronization or download. Exams can run online, offline, or in hybrid form, with secure browser lockdown and resilience to network drops. Authoring includes AI-assisted blueprinting, version-controlled item banks, and collaborative workflows. Evaluation tools digitize physical scripts for on-screen marking, automatically evaluate objective questions, and distribute scripts anonymously. IE NG provides CLO/PLO mapping, attainment reports, and dashboards; its Max edition adds multi-campus analytics. Integrations include SIS student-data sync, LMS gradebook push, and automated result publication. Bespoke supports custom institutional integrations and workflows. Candidate data and question papers use AES-256 encryption on ISO 27001-certified security infrastructure. Biometric data is processed only during an exam session, and human proctors review AI flags. IE NG describes SaaS deployment, with most institutions going live within 4–6 weeks.
