Why MonitorExam Uses a Prepaid Credit Model?

Running secure, reliable digital assessments is not just about proctoring—it’s about trust. Institutions trust us to deliver a smooth exam experience, protect academic integrity, and scale flawlessly on their most important days.

To keep that promise every single time, MonitorExam uses a prepaid credit model.

This post explains why prepaid is better for customers and how it ensures fairness, transparency, and uninterrupted performance.

1. Exams Are Seasonal — Costs Are Not

Most institutions run exams in cycles: monthly, quarterly, or semester-wise.

But our infrastructure—GPU servers, storage, AI inference pipelines, monitoring—needs to stay ready all year round.

A prepaid model helps us:

Reserve compute capacity ahead of your exam window

Ensure faster scaling during peak exam days

Keep high-accuracy AI models active without sudden cost spikes

In short: you get guaranteed performance during crunch time.

2. Simple, Predictable Budgeting

Many institutions prefer a clear upfront cost rather than a variable monthly invoice.

With prepaid credits:

You know exactly how many exams you can conduct

You can align with institutional budgeting cycles

No hidden fees or surprise invoices

It works exactly like topping up SMS/WhatsApp credits — simple, transparent, predictable.

3. Lower Prices Through Volume

Prepaid allows us to discount at scale.

Because we can forecast usage better, we pass savings back to customers in the form of:

Lower per-exam costs

Tiered discounts for larger purchases

Special academic pricing for schools, colleges, and NGOs

The more you commit upfront, the more you save.

4. Guaranteed Slot Availability

During peak exam weeks, cloud GPU resources across AWS/GCP/Azure get expensive and scarce.

Your prepaid credits allow us to:

Pre-allocate GPU/CPU resources

Run AI proctoring models without throttling

Maintain stable video pipelines and instant scoring

Ensure your exam “just works,” even if the cloud is busy

Think of it as reserving exam lanes ahead of time.

5. Zero Billing Stress for Admins

Admins already juggle enough on exam day.

A prepaid model means:

No invoices to reconcile during or after exams

No per-hour or per-minute calculations

No fluctuating usage bills

Just use your credits, run exams, and focus on outcomes—not accounting.

6. Encourages Responsible Exam Planning

Prepaid credits naturally create a smoother process:

Institutions allocate credits to departments

Departments schedule and manage exams within planned capacity

Unnecessary last-minute exams are avoided

This structure helps keep exam operations clean, organised, and predictable.

---

7. Credits Never Go to Waste

We understand that academic calendars change.

So we designed our prepaid system to be student-friendly:

Long validity (12 months or more)

Flexible exam types

Free upgrades if proctoring technology improves

Easy top-ups at any stage

You can use your credits across subjects, batches, and departments without restrictions.

---

In Summary: Prepaid Works Because It Works for You

We chose the prepaid model because it ensures:

Fair pricing

Predictable budgeting

High reliability during busy exam days

Discounts based on commitment

A smoother experience for both exam admin and students

It aligns our incentives with yours:

deliver great exams, consistently, at the best possible cost.
