Added dedicated support for internal question choices (OR / अथवा options) and structural exam sectioning (Sections A, B, C, and D).
The Prashnix Engineering Vision
Prashnix stands on three core engineering principles:
- 100% Offline Independence: Institutions must own their operational records and question banks without relying on internet access or cloud servers.
- Academic Ownership: Exam engines must reflect the teacher’s philosophy and curriculum rules, rather than enforcing generic question dumps.
- Zero Subscription Lock-In: School administration should not be gated behind monthly per-student SaaS bills.
