How to Create an Online Test in 2 Minutes (For Coaching Institutes)

If you run a coaching institute or tuition centre, you know the pain: typing out question papers takes hours, printing costs money, and collecting answer sheets is a nightmare. What if you could create a test in 2 minutes and share it as a link?

The Old Way vs. The Qallery Way

Old way: Type questions in Word → format → print → distribute → collect papers → manually grade → enter marks. Time: 3-4 hours per test.

Qallery way: Upload your existing PDF → questions extracted automatically → share a link → students take it on their phone → scores calculated instantly. Time: 2 minutes.

Step-by-Step: Your First Test

1. Sign up free — Just your phone number. No email, no credit card.
2. Upload your question paper — PDF, Word document, or even a photo. Qallery extracts every question, option, and answer key automatically.
3. Review and edit — Check the extracted questions. Fix any errors. Add or remove questions.
4. Create a test — Select questions, set a time limit, and hit create. You get a shareable link.
5. Share with students — Send the link on WhatsApp. Students open it in their browser — no app needed.
6. See results instantly — Auto-scoring, class average, question-wise analysis. Download reports.

Why Coaching Institutes Love Qallery

• Save time — No typing, no printing, no manual grading
• Reuse questions — Build a question bank over time. Mix and match for new tests.
• Students love it — Quick tests on their phone. Instant results. Leaderboard for motivation.
• Works with any subject — Physics, Chemistry, Maths, History, Law, Accounting — any MCQ-based exam
• No student app — Students just open a link. Works on any phone with a browser.

Convert Any PDF Question Paper into a Digital Test

You have years of question papers — previous year papers, chapter-wise tests, mock exams. They're sitting in PDFs or printed copies. With Qallery, you can turn them into a reusable digital question bank in minutes.

What Qallery Extracts

When you upload a PDF, Qallery's extraction engine identifies:

• Questions — with full text, including diagrams and LaTeX formulas
• Options — A, B, C, D separated correctly
• Answer keys — if present in the document
• Solutions — step-by-step explanations, if included
• Images and diagrams — preserved and linked to the right question
• Tables — data tables, match-the-column, etc.

Supported Formats

You can upload:

• PDF files — scanned or digital, any number of pages
• Word documents — .docx, .doc (auto-converted to PDF)
• Photos — snap your printed paper with your phone camera. Multiple photos are stitched into one document.
• PowerPoint — .pptx slides with questions

Building a Question Bank

The real power is in reuse. Every extracted question goes into your question bank, tagged by subject and topic. Over time, you build a library of hundreds or thousands of questions.

Need a surprise test? Just say "15 MCQs from Kinematics, 30 minutes" and Qallery picks questions from your bank, creates the test, and gives you a link.

Run Live Quizzes in Your Classroom (Like Kahoot, But Free)

How Live Quiz Works

5. See the leaderboard — live rankings after each question
