Kerala DHSE 2026 QR-App Launched to Monitor Higher Secondary Exams

The Kerala Infrastructure and Technology for Education (KITE) has launched a new QR code-based mobile application named KITE-QTrack to enhance the monitoring of the Higher Secondary (Class 12) exams 2026 conducted by the Directorate of Higher Secondary Education, Kerala. This initiative is aimed at improving security, transparency and accuracy in the conduct of public examinations starting 5 March 2026.

Real-Time Monitoring via QR Code Scans

The QR-based app will allow exam officials to track critical stages of the examination process:

• Opening of question paper packets using QR code scans
• Recording exam start and end times
• Updating dispatch details of answer scripts to valuation centres
• Reporting any irregularities or incidents instantly

The system will automatically flag errors such as incorrect packet scans and register them as incidents, helping ensure strict adherence to protocols.

Implementation and Login Requirements

Chief and deputy superintendents at all examination centres are required to download the KITE-QTrack app from the Android Play Store and complete login procedures before 4 March 2026. Regional deputy directors and state-level monitoring officials will also be given dedicated access to track progress and compliance across districts. The app’s real-time tracking capabilities extend from the start of exam operations at centres to the dispatch of scripts, with officials updating the system at each step of the process.

Broader Digital Integration Plans

Officials have indicated that this app is part of a larger effort to modernise and digitise the entire higher secondary examination system in Kerala. Future enhancements may include features for post-exam services such as revaluation requests, duplicate certificate issues, and secure online payments through an integrated platform. The introduction of the QR code-based monitoring tool underscores the state’s focus on using technology to uphold exam integrity and streamline administrative processes for one of Kerala’s largest student cohorts.
