OMR CBSE Sheet

Instructions

Follow the guidelines below on using, customizing, and reading the CBSE exam form with Aspose.OMR.

Filling out the CBSE sheet

It is desirable to take the CBSE practice under the same conditions as the final exam. Thus, candidates must follow precise instructions during the training tests to familiarize themselves with the actual test expectations:

• The examinations would take from 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the pattern of the examination.
• 15 minutes reading time is given to the students to read the question paper.
• Only one bubble should be filled per question.
• The bubble’s circle must be completely filled with a blue or black pen.
• Avoid any stray marks, especially those that cross the bubbles or a barcode.
• Once the examination ends, students are required to submit the answer sheets regardless of the number of answered questions.

Customizing the CBSE sheet

CBSE sheets cover multiple subjects – from science and mathematics to music and literature. For training and practice purposes, each form can be adjusted, so the student not only remember the correct answers, but catch important ideas in the long run. With Aspose.OMR, you can easily modify the form to focus on certain areas of the test.

The customize the CBSE sheet:

• Open the CBSE form’s source code (CBSE.txt) with any plain text editor.
• Change the source code according to the [guidelines.](https://docs.aspose.com/omr/net/design-form/)
• Customize the paper size, bubble color, font, and other [global page settings.](https://docs.aspose.com/omr/net/generate-template/page-setup/)

Once complete, run the following code to [generate](https://docs.aspose.com/omr/net/generate-template/) a printable template for the CBSE form:

    
    Aspose.OMR.Api.OmrEngine omrEngine = new Aspose.OMR.Api.OmrEngine();
    Aspose.OMR.Generation.GlobalPageSettings globalPageSettings = new Aspose.OMR.Generation.GlobalPageSettings() {
	    PaperSize = Aspose.OMR.Generation.PaperSize.Letter,
	    BubbleColor = Aspose.OMR.Generation.Color.Red
    };
    Aspose.OMR.Generation.GenerationResult generationResult = omrEngine.GenerateTemplate("CBSE.txt", globalPageSettings);
    generationResult.Save("target-folder", "template");
    

Then simple print out the template.png file from the target folder and handle the papers to your students. You will also get the file with .OMR extension. Do not remove it – it will be required during recognition.

Recognizing the completed CBSE sheet

To recognize a hand-filled CBSE sheet, digitize it in one of the [supported formats](https://docs.aspose.com/omr/net/supported-file-formats/#filled-forms). There is no need for expensive hardware reader, such as Scantron. For best results, a basic office scanner or multifunction copier will suffice. If you do not have a scanner, you can simply take a picture of the form with any modern smartphone and upload the photo to your computer.

To read the completed CBSE sheet, use the following code:

    
    Aspose.OMR.Api.OmrEngine omrEngine = new Aspose.OMR.Api.OmrEngine();
    // Load the recognition pattern for CBSE sheet template
    Aspose.OMR.Api.TemplateProcessor recognitionEngine = omrEngine.GetTemplateProcessor("template.omr");
    Aspose.OMR.Model.RecognitionResult recognitionResult = recognitionEngine.RecognizeImage("scanned-sheets/Sandeep-Vaishya.png");
    string result = recognitionResult.GetCsv();
    

template.omr is so-called recognition pattern – a special file that is used to produce highly accurate results with the Aspose.OMR recognition engine. It is generated alongside the printable CBSE template, make sure you do not delete or replace that file.
