Kerala Infrastructure and Technology for Education (KITE) has launched a QR code-based mobile application to enhance security, transparency, and accuracy in the conduct of higher secondary examinations in the State.
The ‘KITE-QTrack’ is designed to provide real-time tracking and monitoring of the entire higher secondary examination process – from opening of question paper packets at exam centres to dispatch of answer scripts to valuation camps.
The higher secondary examinations are set to get under way on Thursday (March 5, 2026).
All chief and deputy chief superintendents have been directed to install the ‘KITE: QTrack’ app from the Android Play Store and log in before March 4.
On examination days, updates have to be provided at every stage using specific buttons on the app, starting from the moment question paper packets are taken out from storage. If an incorrect subject packet is scanned, an error message will appear, and the information will be immediately reported as an ‘incident’ to the exam wing.
Specific logins readied
The status regarding the start and completion of exams must also be recorded within the specified timeframes. Specific logins have been readied for all higher secondary regional deputy directors (RDDs) to monitor the process at the State level.
Details such as track ID, weight, and dispatch time must be entered into the app when answer scripts are sent to the camps. The app also facilitates the immediate reporting of any malpractice or technical issues encountered during the examination.
A video tutorial is available on the KITE Victers YouTube channel (itsvicters). Online training for officials will be conducted by KITE master trainers at the district level.
KITE chief executive officer K. Anvar Sadath said the system was part of KITE’s initiative to develop a revamped portal aimed at completely automating the entire examination process, from admissions to the publication of results. Post-examination services, including the distribution of duplicate certificates, revaluation, and scrutiny applications, will be implemented through this integrated digital system. With the inclusion of secure online payment facilities, students will be able to submit all applications entirely through this digital platform.
