Exam governance · CBME ready

AQMS + AI for assessment integrity.

AQMS is the control system that sits between Question Banks and printed/online papers. It enforces blueprinting, parity, security, and audit trails across all disciplines— and is tuned for CBME 2024 & Competency Based Assessments (CBA) in medical and allied health colleges.

Blueprints

Outcomes / competencies · Bloom’s · difficulty · types.

CBME / CBA

Question-type ratios · competency codes · OSCE/OSPE.

Parity & security

Multiple sets, workflows, secure generation & printing.

Core exam-governance capabilities (all disciplines)

AQMS replaces ad-hoc paper setting in Word and spreadsheets with governed, traceable workflows.
Every exam that leaves the system can be defended on coverage, parity, and process.

Blueprint-driven exam design
  • Define blueprints at course/subject level for outcomes or competencies, Bloom’s level, difficulty, and question types.
  • No exam can be generated outside an approved blueprint.
  • Reusable templates for main, repeat, and supplementary exams.
Parity, security & audit trails
  • Generate equivalent sets (A/B/C, slots, centres) from the same blueprint.
  • Role-based workflows: setter → reviewer → approver → CoE/Registrar.
  • Secure generation, release, and printing with full traceability for audits.
Useful even for affiliated institutions and internal assessments

From Question Bank to governed exams with AQMS

Affiliated colleges can use a lighter governance version of AQMS to standardize internal tests and continuous
assessment components, enforcing institutional templates and quality standards even when final exams are controlled by the university.

Medical & Allied Health Institutions (NMC 2024 CBME / CBA)

For medical and allied health colleges, AQMS is tuned specifically to support NMC 2024 CBME guidelines
and Competency Based Assessments (CBA), while preserving flexibility for university-specific patterns.

Competency-based blueprinting

Blueprints on competencies & phases

Build blueprints directly on competencies and sub-competencies, mapped to courses and phases with horizontal and vertical integration. Every question carries a competency code, making coverage visible and auditable.

Enforced question-type ratios

CBA exam patterns as system rules

Configure NMC-aligned ratios for MCQ/SAQ/LAQ, case-based questions, and OSCE/OSPE/viva components. AQMS blocks paper generation when patterns, stations, or CBA components are missing or out of tolerance.

Case-based parity & analytics

Case-based exams without surprises

Treat clinical scenarios and problem vignettes as first-class objects. Ensure balanced distribution across systems and difficulty, and feed marks into longitudinal CBME / competency analytics for program review and NMC inspections.

How does AQMS interact with InPods.ai and Outcomes?
InPods.ai helps departments build mapped Question Banks (including CBME-specific items). AQMS governs blueprints, parity and secure exam generation from those banks. Outcomes / competency analytics then uses mapped marks to compute attainment and longitudinal views for programs and inspections.
Can AQMS be used outside medical and allied health programs?
Yes. The same blueprinting, parity, security and workflow engine applies to engineering, management, and other programs. CBME/CBA features are an extension on top of the core governance framework.

Testimonials

AQMS

We generate hundreds of university exam papers every year. Before AQMS, paper setting was done in Word files with no enforced blueprints and no audit trail. Over the past five years, AQMS has become our mission-critical system — every paper is auto-generated per NMC 2024 blueprints, with secure workflows from setter to registrar. We can now defend every exam paper we release.

AQMS

Across 2,000+ courses, we generate midterm and endterm papers every semester — up to five papers per course, each covering five to eight course outcomes. AQMS has enforced blueprint compliance across all of this for over five years. The fact that AQMS papers automatically feed into our OBE system for outcomes analysis means we have an end-to-end, defensible assessment process.
