Eklavvya

Overview

Eklavvya is a remote-assessment platform for institutions and businesses running exams, coding challenges, voice assessments, or AI interviews. It is best suited to organizations that need configurable exams, proctoring, and connections to existing systems. Its breadth is a strength; the free plan is capped at 25 exams, and customers cannot host the service on their own servers.

Key features

Question design and exam controls

Question banks accommodate image, audio, objective, and subjective questions. Administrators can set passing marks, arrange questions by topic, choose difficulty levels, and apply negative marking. That flexibility can support varied assessment formats and scoring rules, though exams are delivered through a browser rather than a native desktop exam application.

Proctoring and audit trail

Eklavvya offers remote proctoring to authenticate and authorize candidates and control online exams. Image-capture, video, AI proctoring, and screen-sharing exams are supported on Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS devices. Administrators can also review activity by candidates and administrators, adding an audit trail to the proctoring workflow.

Results and integrations

Result tools include rankings, individual and batch question-attempt analysis, and score and group-performance analysis. Integrations with ERP, LMS, CRM, and custom applications use options such as SSO and REST APIs. Documented APIs cover candidate and exam workflows, scheduling, results, face verification, proctoring image analysis, and code grading, making the platform more suitable for organizations that need assessment workflows connected to other systems.

Eklavvya states that it is CERT-IN certified for software security and ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certified for information security management. These certifications may matter to organizations assessing security governance, but they do not change the product's managed-SaaS delivery model.

Pricing

Eklavvya uses a freemium model. The Free plan costs 0.00 USD per free and includes 25 exams and 1 GB of storage, with technical support by email only. Usage is counted in exam credits based on candidate exam instances, so an exam allowance should not be assumed to mean an unlimited number of candidate sittings.

Standard has custom pricing and includes 500 exams and 5 GB of storage. Professional also has custom pricing, with 500 exams and 10 GB of storage. Enterprise has custom pricing and 20 GB of storage; it lists an account manager for technical support. The listed plan details do not state exam allowances for Enterprise. The paid tiers therefore require a pricing conversation, and organizations should compare the exam quotas and storage against their expected candidate volume before choosing.

Platforms

Platforms include Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, web, and API. Exams are delivered through a browser; supported Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS devices can be used for the listed proctoring modes. Eklavvya is managed SaaS and cannot be hosted on a customer's own server, ruling it out for organizations that require self-hosting.

Who it's for

Eklavvya fits institutions and enterprises that run remote assessments and want exam setup, proctoring, analytics, and integrations within one service. Its question formats and API coverage are useful for teams with varied assessments or existing business systems to connect. Organizations that require customer-hosted deployment should look elsewhere; small-volume users should also check whether the 25-exam free allowance matches their candidate-instance usage.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Broad question and scoring controls: Image, audio, objective, and subjective questions combine with topic structure, difficulty settings, passing marks, and negative marking.
• Proctoring with activity records: Multiple proctoring modes and administrator-and-candidate audit logs support remote exam oversight.
• Integration coverage: SSO, REST APIs, and documented workflows can connect exams and results to organizational systems.
• Free starting tier: The Free plan includes 25 exams and 1 GB of storage, allowing limited use without a subscription charge.

Cons

• Free usage is capped: The 25-exam limit is counted through candidate exam instances, which can constrain cohorts with many candidates.
• Paid-plan pricing requires a quote: Standard, Professional, and Enterprise have custom pricing, making direct cost comparison harder.
• No customer hosting: Managed SaaS is the only delivery model, so self-hosting requirements are a disqualifier.
• Browser exam delivery: The exam delivery mode is browser-based, even though supported devices cover several operating systems.

Alternatives

SpeedExam is worth comparing for teams that want a free plan with a monthly allowance: its free tier includes 25 exam attempts per month, 2,000 questions, and 100 MB of storage. Choose between that monthly attempt quota and Eklavvya's 25-exam allowance based on how each usage measure fits your assessment volume.

ThinkExam offers a free plan and a free trial, and its Standard plan is 3125.00 USD per month billed annually for 100 users and unlimited quizzes. It may suit buyers who prioritize a published user allowance and quiz quota.

ClassMarker has a free plan and free trial; its Professional 2 plan offers up to 1,000 credits per month and AI exam proctoring, with custom certificates. Consider it when those stated plan terms align better with your credit volume and proctoring needs.

Wheebox is a paid alternative.

Synap is paid, has no free plan, and offers a free trial. Its Standard plan is 1200.00 GBP per year, with the platform and the first 500 credits included; it may suit buyers who prefer a stated annual starting price.

Gauge Online is paid, has no free plan, and offers a free trial. Its Professional plan starts at 750.00 USD per year, plus $250, for buyers comparing paid options with an entry price.

IntelliEXAMS is a paid alternative with a self-hosted platform option, making it a relevant comparison for organizations that cannot use managed SaaS.

Digiexam is paid and offers a free trial. Its Digiexam Lockdown plan is 1496.00 USD per year, with a stated 25% discount for Year One against a regular $1,995 per year; it may suit buyers seeking a lockdown-focused option with a published annual price.

Verdict

Eklavvya is a strong fit for institutions and enterprises that need configurable remote exams, integrated proctoring, result analysis, and APIs in one managed service. Its 25-exam free tier offers a bounded way to start, while broader use calls for custom-priced plans. Choose another platform if customer-hosted deployment is essential or if you need paid-plan pricing to be clear before engaging a vendor.
