BUILT WITH INSIGHTS FROM

Nigerian Tertiary Institution Examination Workflows

Examination Offices
Faculties & Departments
ICT Units
Institution Registrars

Tertiary institution examinations are trusted processes, but many workflows remain manual.

Missing Scripts

Paper scripts get misplaced during movement between departments.

Slow Marking

Manual processes and paperwork delay result release for weeks.

No Audit Trail

Difficult to trace who marked what, when, and what changed.

Physical Storage

Thousands of scripts occupy space and are hard to manage safely.

Our Approach: Technology that works with tertiary institutions, not against them

Markelo does not replace existing examination practices. Tertiary institutions continue using their existing answer booklets, procedures, and academic decision processes. Markelo simply adds better tracking, anonymous marking, digital records, and secure workflows on top.

  • Keep your existing academic decision processes
  • Add full audit trails and digital records
  • Improves accuracy and accountability
  • Speeds up result release

Powerful Features for Modern Examination Workflows

Institution Booklet Profile

AI learns your existing booklet layout once, at onboarding — no new answer sheets.

Script Integrity

Every script is confidence-scored; only exceptions need manual review.

Human Marking

Lecturers and TAs mark anonymised scripts online. AI never awards a mark.

Moderation

Compare marks, resolve discrepancies and ensure fairness.

Identity Protection

Names and matric numbers are stripped before any script reaches a marker.

Audit Trail

Every action is logged and tamper-evident, from scan to result.

Researching the Future of Tertiary Institution Assessment
