Case Study: IFIM Business School safeguards exam integrity with Mercer | Mettl’s secure, scalable online exam solution

How Mercer | Mettl empowered IFIM Business School to maintain its examination’s integrity

IFIM Business School, Bangalore — an AACSB‑accredited B‑School — faced the urgent challenge of running high‑stakes semester exams during the COVID‑19 lockdown and needed a secure, scalable, easy‑to‑use online assessment solution that supported varied question types and prevented malpractice. To address this, IFIM partnered with Mercer Mettl and selected Mercer Mettl’s Online Examination Platform (Examine) along with its proctoring suite and secure browser.

Mercer Mettl integrated the Examine platform with IFIM’s systems in two days, trained faculty, and deployed AI‑assisted human proctoring and the Mettl Secure Browser to ensure low‑bandwidth accessibility and exam integrity. As a result, IFIM kept its academic schedule, successfully conducted semester exams for 1,790 master’s students and 190 executive law students, used 26 question formats, applied Credibility Index reporting and AI flags (>95% detection accuracy), and gained scalable, real‑time analytics and credible results.
