Proctortrack – Remote Proctoring
Proctortrack Remote Proctoring Solution (US Patent No. 8,926,335), which has been adopted in CII – iPATE 1.0 (2020) online Exam,
has been used by United Nations, Georgia Tech, Washington University, Purdue University, University of Norte Dame, Mississipi
State University, Wisconsin University and other reputed organizations.
Candidates are advised and warned against indulging in any kind of malpractice, digital or physical, during the remote proctored
exams. The automated online remote proctoring system will prevent all types of digital cheating through candidates' computers.
Physical cheating will be tracked through recording of audio and video. There will be highly trained professionals as level 2 human
proctors above the level 1 automated proctor, who will review the flags raised by automated proctor and assess the candidates'
behavioral pattern against the screen recordings. Thorough manual review will be done on each and every candidate. Candidates
found cheating in the exam will be penalized in their Score Card.

Onboarding Dummy Test
Attempting the Onboarding creates the profile of the candidates in the Proctortrack System. Often candidates are unsure whether
their specific hardware setup will allow them to use Proctortrack. While a detailed list of supported operating systems and browsers
is available on Proctortrack.com, candidates often prefer to test their system themselves. Keep in mind that Chrome and Firefox are
the recommended browsers. While Proctortrack will work in other browsers, the user experience is far superior in Chrome. The
onboarding process gives candidates the opportunity to make sure everything is working correctly during low-pressure
circumstances. It also gives candidates time to make any changes to their system well before the first exam.
Candidates can fail onboarding for the following reasons:

● Missing or insufficient facial scan.
● Missing or insufficient ID scan.
● ID scan shows invalid ID.
● Missing or insufficient knuckle scan.
● Insufficient environment lighting.
If a candidate fails the onboarding exam, they will receive a notification listing the specific reasons for failure and be asked to retake
the onboarding exam.
For candidates, onboarding appears exactly the same as a normal exam to help familiarize them to the testing environment.

1. Log in to CII - iPATE Exam Platform by entering a Username and Password (as per Admit card)

2. Navigate to My Exam at left pane and click Start.

3. Select the name of the quiz that you will be attempting and click “Attempt quiz now”.

4. Click “Attempt quiz now”. And then click on Launch Proctortrack Dashboard.


5. This is the Proctortrack Dashboard. On the top, you have the Onboarding status. The Actual tests cannot be attempted unless the
Onboarding profile is approved. Onboarding profile can be created by attempting the Onboarding test. The Onboarding test is a sample test.
Every Test-taker needs to have an approved Onboarding Profile, before attempting any actual Tests.

6. Read the “How it works” tab on the top, to further understand the steps required. Click the “Next” button to scroll through the steps.




7. This is the Download page. Proctortrack will attempt to automatically start the download. If it doesn’t, click “here” to download
Proctortrack manually.
If the App was downloaded during any previous exams/tests, the download page will detect the downloaded app and bring forward a pop-up
window to click on “open Proctortrack” to launch the application.

8. Open the Proctortrack.zip(for Mac)/Proctortrack.exe(for Windows) file that downloads.

9. Finally, launch Proctortrack from your download folder to continue.

10. Once Proctortrack has launched, check the box labeled “I agree to the terms and conditions”.


11. The system check will run to verify that the system is ready.

12. Make sure to fill the frame before clicking “SCAN”. After that, follow the on-screen prompts.

13. If dissatisfied with the scans, click “NO” to rewrite them by taking new ones. Otherwise, click “YES” to move on.

14. For the ID scan, please go through the instructions for a valid photo ID scan and click “NEXT.”

15. For the ID scan, hold a valid photo ID up to the camera and click “Scan”.

16. Make sure to fit the ID within the frame and hold it steady so that it’s clear. Click “NO” as many times as needed or click “YES” to
proceed.

21. Check the box next to “Yes, I have completed and submitted my exam.” Finally, click “END”.

22. The session data will be automatically uploaded to Proctortrack’s servers.

23. The test session is complete! Either button seen here will close Proctortrack. Proctortrack will have to be run before each proctoring-
enabled test. Click “Quit APP” to keep Proctortrack on your computer for use with later tests, and click “Uninstall” to remove Proctortrack from
your computer. Keep in mind that an opportunity to download Proctortrack will be given before each proctoring-enabled test.
Once you have completed the Onboarding quiz, you may check the status on the Proctortrack Dashboard.

24. Once the Onboarding is submitted, and is under processing it shows on the Proctortrack Dashboard as below.

Actual Test
25. Once the Onboarding is passed, the status on the Proctortrack Dashboard indicates the same. The Candidate will be able to
take the Actual tests (the tests become active) once their Onboarding is passed.

26. The Candidates can view their Onboarding scans data under the “Onboarding” tab. They can click the “arrow” to scroll
through the Face, ID and Knuckle scan. The Onboarding tab clearly shows the date of the Onboarding as well as the Expiration date
(each profile is valid for 1 year). The Candidates also have the option to take the Onboarding by clicking on the “Retake
Onboarding Test” link.

27. To attempt any actual tests, the candidates are required to click on the “Go To Test” button for that particular test. The steps
after that are the same as shown above (step 7 onwards).
