At BlinkExam, we’ve always led the way in secure, reliable, and scalable online examination solutions. And now, we’re stepping it up another notch. Introducing Room Sanitization & 360° Live Scan Proctoring, The Future of Secure Online Exams, a breakthrough feature designed to make cheating nearly impossible and honest exam-taking the new gold standard.
Let’s dive into what this feature is all about, why it matters, and how it redefines what secure online exams should look like.
Why BlinkExam Introduced This Feature Now
Cheating has become a serious problem since online examinations have grown significantly. Since today’s students are more digital than ever, many may simply figure out how to get around the standard webcam-based invigilation. For this reason, we questioned ourselves:
“How can we go beyond basic proctoring and truly safeguard online exams?”
The answer: Room Sanitization + 360° Live Scan Proctoring.
It’s not just a feature — it’s a fortress.
What Is Room Sanitization & 360° Live Scan Proctoring?
This dynamic duo works together to eliminate hidden aids, unauthorized devices, & suspicious setups before the exam even begins.
Room Sanitization (Pre-Exam Check)
Before the exam starts, the student is required to sanitize their environment:
- Clear the desk of all materials except the permitted ones.
- Show under the table, behind the monitor, and around the entire space.
- Proctor approval is mandatory before moving forward.
The student can only start the exam once the room is approved as “clean.”
360° Live Scan Proctoring (During Exam)
Once the exam begins, 360° scanning doesn’t stop working. It works live and continuously.
- Candidates are prompted to show a full panoramic view of their room via webcam or phone camera.
- Our live proctors or AI-backed algorithms monitor the feed in real-time.
- Any suspicious movement, whisper, device usage, or unexpected objects? It’s flagged instantly.
You’re not just watching the student — you’re watching the whole room.
How Does It Work on BlinkExam?
BlinkExam is designed to be powerful yet simple for students and proctors alike.
Here’s the typical exam flow:
- Student login and identity verification.
- Prompt for Room Sanitization — Student is guided step-by-step to clean their environment.
- 360° Live Scan begins — Either via webcam or mobile device (student choice).
- Live proctor joins to approve or request re-scanning.
- Once cleared, the exam starts.
- Throughout the test, the live 360° feed continues to monitor and flag any irregularities.
Why This Feature Is a Game-Changer
