DPDP Act 2023 compliant online proctoring for higher education.

Kwilo uses the device camera for a one-time face check at exam start — it does not run continuous facial recognition during the exam. Audio and screen activity are recorded only for the exam duration. All recordings are stored in your institution's designated region. A learner-facing consent screen at exam launch itemises every data point collected, its purpose, and its retention period — satisfying DPDP Act Section 6 obligations for explicit, informed consent.

Exam cells need proctoring software that can be deployed without IT installing client software on each learner device. Kwilo runs entirely in the browser. IT administrators configure data residency (India region on GCP or Azure) and deletion schedules in the admin console. Vice-Principals get a per-exam flagging report: number of anomalies detected, type (phone in frame, second person, audio event), and severity. Flagged segments are reviewed by faculty, not acted on automatically.

Kwilo acts as a data processor under DPDP Act 2023. Your institution is the data fiduciary. The platform provides: (1) a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) ready for institutional signature, (2) configurable 90-day maximum retention with automatic purge, (3) a learner-accessible data log showing what was collected and when it will be deleted, (4) breach notification triggers that alert your designated Data Protection Officer within 72 hours. No proctoring data is used for model training.

Kwilo's proctoring module has been running across our first cohort of college partners, flagging genuinely suspicious behaviour rather than routine fidgeting or lag. Faculty reviewers tell us anomaly reports are quick to confirm, and every flagged segment comes with the recording attached, not just a score.
