Abstract
Manual preparation of question papers is a time-consuming process, which may result in problems like repeated questions, imbalance in syllabus coverage, and incorrect distribution of marks. Automated question paper generation systems assist in minimizing faculty effort and ensuring uniformity in the preparation of examination question papers. In this proposed project, a syllabus-based question paper generator system is proposed, where the faculty member uploads the syllabus document, and the system automatically generates a formatted question paper based on the syllabus content. Based on the identified topics in the syllabus, the system computes unit-wise weightage and allows flexibility through Auto Weightage, Equal Weightage, and Custom Weightage options. The system also allows the inclusion of Bloom’s Taxonomy levels to develop questions based on various cognitive levels like Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyze, Evaluate, and Create. Finally, the generated question paper is formatted as per the required exam pattern and exported as a PDF file for printing purposes.

Conclusion
The Automatic Question Paper Generator (AQPG) is a system based on the syllabus that aids in reducing the amount of manual effort required to create exams and add consistency to the way they are prepared. The AQPG also analyzes the syllabus submitted to it by users, breaking it into manageable units and topics, and generating a question paper that meets a user’s selected weightage patterns: Auto Weightage, Equal Weightage, or Custom Weightage. Additionally, the AQPG will allow users to create questions that correspond with Bloom’s Taxonomy distribution to achieve cognitive balance within the questions created by the AQPG. After generating the question paper, the AQPG will create a single PDF that can be printed and provided to the faculty for use when preparing exams. In summary, the AQPG allows the user to generate question papers with greater efficiency, provides for an equitable distribution of marks, and provides a uniform and flexible method for automatically generating question papers.
