The End of Writing Code on Paper.
Proctura gives Nigerian universities a real online coding exam platform — so students can write, run, and submit actual code instead of filling exam sheets by hand.
Students still write code on paper in 2025.
In most Nigerian universities, programming exams happen on paper. Students memorize syntax instead of learning to code. Lecturers grade subjectively. Everyone loses.
For Students
- ✕Write Python, C++, and Java syntax on paper from memory
- ✕Lose marks for missing semicolons — not logic errors
- ✕Can't test if code actually runs
- ✕Exam doesn't reflect real coding skills
For Lecturers
- ✕Manually read and grade handwritten code
- ✕Hard to distinguish logic errors from syntax errors
- ✕No objective standard for partial marking
- ✕Marking 200 scripts takes days
The Solution
A real coding exam environment, built for your campus.
Proctura gives students an actual code editor with a real execution engine. Code runs against automated test cases. Grading is objective, instant, and consistent — no matter who's marking.
From setup to graded results in three steps.
Proctura is built around how universities actually work — schools, lecturers, and students each get the right tools.
School Gets Onboarded
The Proctura team sets up your school's workspace. Your IT admin gets a school_admin account to manage lecturers and students.
- ✓Unique subdomain (yourschool.proctura.com)
- ✓School admin account created
- ✓Bulk student import via CSV
Lecturer Sets Up the Exam
Lecturers create exams with questions, set the time window, pick the programming language, and add test cases — visible and hidden.
- ✓Create courses and exams
- ✓Add questions with point values
- ✓Write test cases (some hidden from students)
Student Takes the Exam
Students log in during the exam window, write real code in the browser editor, and submit. Grading happens automatically.
- ✓VS Code-like code editor in the browser
- ✓Personal countdown timer per student
- ✓Code runs against all test cases
Everything a coding exam needs.
Built specifically for the way universities run programming courses — not a generic quiz tool bolted onto a code editor.
Real Code Editor
Students code in a full VS Code-like editor with syntax highlighting, line numbers, and language-aware formatting.
Instant Grading
Code runs against automated test cases via Judge0. Partial scoring per question based on how many tests pass.
Hidden Test Cases
Lecturers can mark test cases as hidden — students see sample inputs but not the full grading suite.
Anti-Cheat Built In
Tab switching and clipboard events are tracked. After 3 violations, the exam is automatically submitted.
Personal Timer
Each student gets their own countdown from the moment they start — not a shared class-wide timer.
Multi-School Support
Each university gets its own isolated workspace at a dedicated subdomain. Data is fully separated.
CSV Student Import
School admins upload a CSV to bulk-create student accounts. No manual registration per student.
Lecturer Results Dashboard
Lecturers see all submissions, scores, and per-question breakdowns the moment grading completes.
