AI · Auto-Evaluation

Grade essays, code, and audio answers — overnight, with a paper trail.

Vacademy's AI Auto-Evaluation grades essays against your rubric, runs code against your test cases (and flags plagiarism), evaluates audio responses, and writes a justification for every score. Reviewers only audit the edge cases the system flags as low-confidence.

Why teams switch

The status quo is costing your team time and money

Manual grading is the bottleneck of every exam cycle

A 200-learner mock test with 5 essay questions is 1,000 essays. At 3 minutes per essay (optimistic), that's 50 hours of mind-numbing grading. Results slip; learners forget; feedback loops die.

200 essays graded overnight, reviewers audit edge cases only

Inter-grader variance erodes credibility

Different graders give different scores for the same answer. Learners catch on, contest results, lose trust in the certificate.

Same rubric, same scoring, every time

Feedback is generic when it lands

When grading takes a week, feedback comes back as a single number. Learners don't know what they got wrong — and they don't care anymore.

Per-criterion feedback within 24 hrs of submission

Inside the grader

Per-criterion scoring with confidence + reviewer audit

AI scores each criterion against your rubric, quotes the evidence, and flags low-confidence cases for human audit before publish.

How it works

Rubric → justification → reviewer audit → publish

The evaluation pipeline never auto-publishes a grade. The AI scores; the reviewer audits flagged cases; you decide when to release.

01

Define the rubric

List criteria (clarity, accuracy, depth, structure, citations), weight each, and define scoring bands (e.g. 0–4 scale per criterion). Save as reusable rubric template.

02

AI scores + justifies

Each submission scored per-criterion with a 1-paragraph justification quoting the relevant excerpt. Confidence score per criterion lets reviewers know what to audit.

03

Reviewer audits flagged cases

Reviewers see only low-confidence scores or score outliers. Inline override, re-grade, or accept. The system learns from overrides for future evaluations.

04

Publish + per-learner feedback

Branded report card with per-criterion breakdown and quoted feedback goes to learner + parent. Auto-trigger remedial content for weak criteria.

What's inside

Every submission type, one engine

Map these to your workflow →

Essay grading by rubric

Per-criterion scoring with quoted justifications. Supports any rubric structure — 4-criterion CBSE board paper, 12-criterion IELTS-style, or your custom one.

Code evaluation + plagiarism

Compiles and runs against your test cases via Judge0; flags time-limit / memory issues; runs cohort-wide MOSS-grade plagiarism detection automatically.

Audio response grading

Speaking tasks (e.g. language fluency, oral exams) transcribed and graded against your rubric. Useful for language schools and viva/oral exams.

Math + numeric answers

Numeric answers tolerate equivalent forms (1/2 = 0.5 = 50%) and unit conversions. LaTeX answers parsed via Mathpix.

Confidence per criterion

Each criterion gets its own confidence score. Reviewers can filter to 'audit only criteria with confidence < 80%' — typically 12–18% of total scores.

Learn from overrides

When a reviewer overrides an AI score, the system records the correction. Subsequent batches use the corrections to calibrate — your AI evaluator gets better over time.

Frequently asked

Common questions from buyers

Can we trust the AI's scores?+

The system never auto-publishes. Every batch goes through a reviewer-audit stage where flagged (low-confidence or outlier) scores must be approved. In production deployments, AI-vs-human inter-rater agreement is consistently above 92% — higher than human-vs-human agreement on the same essays.

Does the AI explain its scoring?+

Yes — each criterion score comes with a 1–2 sentence justification quoting the relevant excerpt from the submission. Reviewers see both the score and the reasoning; learners see the same in their report card.

Can we bring our own rubric?+

Yes. Define any number of criteria, weights, and scoring bands. Rubrics are reusable — define once for a paper, use across every cohort. You can also import IELTS, TOEFL, GMAT, CBSE board-paper rubrics from our shared library.

What about subjects where the answer is open-ended?+

Open-ended answers (philosophy, history, creative writing) are precisely where rubric-based AI evaluation shines — the rubric is the anchor, and the AI just scores against it. You're not asking the AI 'is this right?' — you're asking 'does this meet the rubric?'.

Will the AI learn from our corrections?+

Yes. When a reviewer overrides a score, the correction is stored as calibration signal. Subsequent batches use these corrections to align — without retraining the underlying model. Your evaluator becomes more 'your-style' over time.
