Examify - Hack Your Exams!

Tuesday, July 30, 2013
Hacking and the first thing that comes to my mind- Abhishek Bachchan in Om Jai Jagadish - the movie with Anil Kapoor, Fardeen Khan, the Cinthol girl and a lot of cast! Well, if you don't remember, let me take you to a flashback. Om (Anil Kapoor) who was a man of morals who was honest, self-dependent, never cheated anyone and a god-fearing person. Jagdish (Abhishek bachchan), Om's younger brother, liked playing with websites and all, so to help his friends, he hacked their college website and stole the exam papers!

 Now obviously Om got angry
and killed Jagdish! 

LOL just threw him out! :P Kuch yaad aaya?

Well, there is a guy who does the same work and nobody throws him out! In fact, he was featured on the  TEDxgateway event which was held in Mumbai in December 2012 partnered by the Franklin Templeton Investments. Surprised? So was I! But apparently, what he does is called social service and what Jagdish did was fraud! I am still confused - Either Om's morals were wrong or our society's are! Actual answer is Nobody's!

What this guy, Angad Nadkarni, does is that he hacks into universities, schools and colleges website, gets their last years exam papers and makes a database - EXAMIFY! Now according to the database, they compile which questions are most probable to come in the exam - be it school level or graduation! Now, as they are not really telling you exactly which question will appear in the exam, they aren't cheating, right? 

They also take your feedback as to how you rate each question - easy, medium or difficult? Their logic is - if everybody thinks a question is difficult, then you definitely don't need to study it. Cool?

I wonder if they could create such softwares which could directly hack into professor's mind and know the questions directly. Whatsay?
   
Times like these aren't too far! :D
