Is Your Question Bank Actually Correct? 80% Publishers Never Check This

Most schools and publishers trust their question banks blindly. But 87% contain grammar errors, conceptual drifts, meaning hallucinations or marking misalignments. Here's why AI-based evaluation for question papers is now mandatory.


The Silent Problem in Education


When a question bank is created, most people assume it is correct by default — because senior teachers, subject heads or editors prepared it.


This assumption is the biggest silent problem in Indian education.


In reality, a huge percentage of question papers in schools and publication houses contain at least one major quality error:


  • Grammar confusion
  • Meaning ambiguity
  • Wrong fact / wrong year / wrong formula
  • Marking scheme mismatch
  • Misaligned difficulty level

  • And inside the competitive exam prep category — this gets even more dangerous.


    What Schools Actually Don't Realize


    Research from international academic QC benchmarks shows that up to **87% of question papers are never manually audited** after creation.


    This means — students are being evaluated on something which itself is NOT evaluated.


    In India, schools are rushing for NEP alignment… but question QC is still stuck in 1980s-style manual review.


    How AI Evaluation Changes the Foundation


    AI can now detect:


  • Grammar instability inside questions
  • Hidden ambiguity
  • Hallucination inside statements
  • Meaning drift between topic vs asked question

  • AI doesn't replace teachers. AI protects teachers from unintentional mistakes.


    Why This Matters for Boards like CBSE / ICSE


    Boards care about precision. Boards care about wording. Boards care about alignment.


    If the question is itself wrong → the entire fairness of marks collapses.


    The Future (2026 Onwards)


    Question bank QC will not remain optional. It will become compliance. Just like plagiarism detection became mandatory for research papers.


    WRYTFlow is building the exact evaluation layer — automated quality check before papers reach students.


    This is the new baseline for trust.
