INTRODUCTION
Automation has been increasingly used in the ranges of industries and has proven a notable impact to optimise productivity. Most of the developing countries now understand the importance of automation which aims to provide accurate and time saving results. In addition it decreases the rate of inefficiency on a program-based system to calculate and demonstrate results. Examinations are essential to universities since it organizes and integrates knowledge. Most of it generally falls in the objective category which is suited for the automated process. Information and technology has become a valuable, decisive and critical resource for individuals which is less risky than manual examination system. It is very critical in universities because it aims to qualify the learning capacity and evaluate the learning of an individual, therefore requires a careful evaluation. Once results are inefficient it could have a lasting effect on students, like mental stress since it is their way of defining their goals.
The role of ICT in supporting the curriculum has been extensively evaluated by some large, government sponsored projects. The ICT and attainment review in England (Cox, Abbott, Webb, Blakeley, Beauchamp & Rhodes, 2003) found positive effects in almost all subjects, but particularly with specific uses such as word processing in English, modelling in mathematics, or using simulations in science. The authors noted:
Researchers have often measured the ‘wrong’ things, looking for improvements in traditional processes and knowledge instead of new reasoning and new knowledge which might emerge from the ICT use (p. 34). Many similar
