The Paatam workflow
From handwritten answers to learning that moves forward.
Students keep writing on paper. Paatam does the preparation; the teacher reviews and approves; and insight flows to students and parents.
How it works
From answer sheets to actionable insights.
Paatam fits into the assessment process your school already runs. The AI prepares suggestions; the teacher makes the decisions.
Step 1, School
Upload
Scan or photograph completed answer sheets and upload them as supported images or documents.
Step 2, AI suggests
Interpret
Document intelligence and OCR read the handwritten answers and organise them question by question.
Step 3, AI suggests
Evaluate
Subject-aware AI compares each response with your assessment criteria and suggests marks with a rationale.
Step 4, AI suggests
Discover
Concept-level strengths, learning gaps and class-wide patterns are drafted for the teacher to review.
Step 5, Teacher decides
Teacher review
The teacher checks every suggestion — editing marks, correcting feedback and approving what is final.
Step 6, School
Share
Only approved feedback reaches students and parents, including through WhatsApp where the school chooses.
Nothing is final until a teacher approves it. Suggested marks, insights and parent messages stay in draft until the teacher reviews them.
Connected learning
One assessment. Three people who understand it better.
Paatam connects what happens on the answer sheet with the people who can act on it — the teacher, the student and the parent.
For teachers
Less repetitive checking, clearer insight.
- Assessment evaluation assistance
- Individual student learning insights
- Class-level learning patterns
- Teacher-reviewed feedback
For students
Feedback that explains, not just a score.
- Understand their mistakes
- Receive actionable feedback
- See which areas to improve
- Build a clearer learning path
For parents
Understandable updates they can act on.
- Understand academic progress
- Receive meaningful updates
- Know where their child needs support
- Stay connected through approved messages, including WhatsApp
Updates parents can understand — sent only when the teacher says so.
Instead of a bare number, parents can receive a short, teacher-approved note on what their child understands, where they need support, and one practical way to help at home.
WhatsApp is one convenient way to deliver these updates, because it’s where many families already are. It’s a channel, not the product: the insight comes first, and the teacher approves it before it goes anywhere.

Message to parent
Namaste! A quick update on Sushmitha’s Mathematics unit test on fractions.
Doing well: equivalent fractions — she explained her reasoning clearly.
Needs practice: adding fractions with different denominators.
At home: ask her to show how she would add 12 + 13 by first finding a common denominator.
