The increasing demand for flexible and interactive digital learning platforms has encouraged the development of systems capable of automatically generating assessments and evaluating student performance in real time. This project introduces a Terminal-Based Quiz Generation and Evaluation System, developed using Python Django, Xterm.js, and an integrated question-generation engine. The system streamlines the quiz creation process, delivers a command-line–style examination environment, and maintains accurate student performance records.

Students can log in and attempt quizzes through a fully interactive web-based terminal interface, implemented using Xterm.js to simulate the feel of an actual command-line console. The system automatically generates multiple-choice questions for various subjects, ensuring uniqueness in each quiz attempt. A built-in per-question countdown timer provides a disciplined testing environment by limiting response time and automatically skipping unanswered questions.

The backend, built using Django, handles user authentication, session tracking, quiz generation requests, timing logic, and score calculation. After a quiz is completed, results are securely stored in the database, including question count, correct answers, percentage score, and timestamp. Students can also download their quiz report in PDF format, while administrators can access a dedicated leaderboard panel that displays all attempts in descending order of scores, enabling performance comparison among users. This project highlights a modern, web-based approach to conducting quizzes, combining automated question generation, a terminal-like user experience, and structured performance management. The system provides an engaging, scalable, and efficient solution for academic institutions looking to digitize the assessment process.
