Subjective Grading. Automated.
The questions that reveal real understanding — long-form, analytical, multi-step — are also the hardest to grade at scale. Until now.
More Subjective Questions. Same Number of Teachers.
Every exam cycle, teachers spend hundreds of hours reading handwritten answers, applying rubrics, and assigning step-marks. It's the single biggest bottleneck in assessment — and it's only growing.
Policy shifts like NEP 2020 are pushing boards toward more competency-based, open-ended questions. That means the volume of subjective grading is increasing, but teacher capacity isn't.
GradeFoundry handles the heavy lifting — reading handwriting, applying the marking scheme, awarding partial credit — so teachers can focus on reviewing and teaching, not grading until midnight.
Grades open-ended, analytical questions
Reads handwritten long-form answers and evaluates them against the rubric — not just keywords.
Step-marking with partial credit
Awards marks for correct working even when the final answer is wrong — exactly how CBSE examiners grade.
NEP & competency-framework aligned
Configurable rubrics that map to NEP competency levels, CBSE marking schemes, and custom board patterns.
Built for Precision at Scale
Infrastructure that understands the nuances of subjective grading.
Smart Processing Queues
