Gurugram-based AssessPrep expands global footprint amid growing focus on competency-based learning, AI-assisted grading, and digital assessment systems
As schools worldwide increasingly move towards competency-based education and continuous evaluation models, technology platforms focused on streamlining assessments are witnessing growing adoption. Gurugram-based education technology firm AssessPrep says it now serves more than 800 schools across 85 countries, reflecting a broader shift in how educational institutions approach examinations and student evaluation.
Founded in 2013 by Karan Gupta, Shikhar Sethi and Abhimanyu Jhajharia, the company claims to initially focus on helping schools manage examinations and grading processes. Over the years, it has expanded into a digital assessment platform that supports schools following curricula such as the International Baccalaureate (IB), Cambridge IGCSE, AP, A-Level and national K-12 systems.
AssessPrep says its platform seeks to bring these functions together within a single system. According to the company, educators can create assessments, conduct examinations, grade responses and analyse student performance using integrated digital tools.
“Schools are increasingly looking for ways to reduce administrative workload while improving the quality and speed of feedback provided to students,” the company said, highlighting a trend that has gained momentum with the wider adoption of educational technology.
Artificial intelligence is also playing a growing role in assessment practices. Across the education sector, schools are experimenting with AI-powered tools to assist in tasks such as question generation, grading support and feedback creation. AssessPrep has incorporated AI into several of these workflows, while maintaining that final evaluation decisions remain under teacher supervision.
The company says it has developed a repository of more than 60,000 curriculum-aligned assessment items across multiple international programmes to support educators in designing assessments while maintaining consistency with curriculum objectives.
Industry observers note that the evolution of assessment technology coincides with policy reforms in several countries, including India. The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 has placed greater emphasis on competency-based learning, formative assessments and the use of technology to support classroom instruction. These reforms are encouraging schools to move beyond rote-learning models and adopt systems that provide more detailed insights into student progress.
According to AssessPrep, its platform includes features such as controlled-access examination environments, monitoring tools and secure assessment workflows aimed at addressing these concerns.
