    The setting of exam question papers is an important part of the examination system. Previously, senior university members would set the papers but they may not have current knowledge of the topics. This can lead to confusing, poorly written papers that do not realistically assess students' skills. It is better for teachers, who have current knowledge of the topics taught, to set the papers. Question banks have been developed to facilitate the process of teachers setting papers. Modern question banks not only contain questions but also details about each question like the topic, skills tested, estimated time, question type, and marks. They also provide the difficulty and discrimination values calculated from student sample tests.

    The setting of question papers is one of the most significant aspects of our examination system.

    Senior
    members of the university used to set the paper in most cases. Many times, they do not have a current
    understanding of the issue and are out of touch with it. It is possible that they will not receive enough time from
    universities to set up the question papers. As a result, the documents are confusing, vague, poorly written, and
    poorly designed. All of this obstructs a realistic assessment of the kids' achievements.
    Our external examinations keep the instructor who teaches at arm's length from setting the paper, desp
    ite the fact that the philosophical reality is that he is the best qualified person to do so. A question bank serves as 
    a conduit between two people. N.C.E.R.T. developed the notion of a question bank at the school level, while the 
    Association of Indian Universities developed it at the college level (AIU). Question banks are a collection of ques
    tions/items gathered from various sources of responsible entities and individuals, organised in a logical sequence, 
    and supplemented with sufficient information to make retrieval of items meeting the specified criteria easier.
    The idea of a question bank is not new. Question banks have existed for a long time, generated by
    universities, boards of examination, and individuals working as teachers. The vast majority of these questions
    were not subjected to any "scientific method." The questions were chosen because they "looked right," but they
    provided no specific information on their nature or amount of use.   
              However, the concept of a question bank has modified recently. Currently, a question bank does not simply
    refer to a collection of a vast number of different types of question items relevant to a topic area. It consists of a
    set of questions/items as well as technical information on the questions/items gathered.
    The material comprises the item writer's assumption about the learning purpose of the question/items, as well
    as facts of behaviour gleaned through a pretest given to a random sample of the population.
    Each question/item comes with additional details, such as:
    1. The content area/ topic on which the question/ Item is based.
    2. The specific intellectual ability of the student that is being tested.
    3. Time required for answering the question/ item.
    4. The type of question/ item.
    5. Marks allotted for each question/ Item.
    6. The Difficulty Value (DV) and the Discriminate Value (DP) of the question/ item is calculated on the basis of
    the performance of sample population.
    7. The key to the question/ item.
