Whatsapp has been the most used platform for assessments in schools amid the pandemic. This was found in the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) survey, launched to understand the possibility of internal assessment for SSC students, since the traditional exam was cancelled.

As the findings show different methods used by secondary schools to continue assessment amid the pandemic, WhatsApp emerged the winner with over 12,298 of 12,931 schools (no. of schools that participated in the survey) making use of it. This was closely followed by offline and online tests with 9,930 and 9,758 schools responding positively for it respectively. Workbooks and online sessions followed after, with 8,402 and 8,402 schools respectively. At least 7,352 schools also did assessments through home visits by teachers.
