PATCH - Exam

This API allows updating an existing exam. You can:

Mark an exam as final.
Upload associated documents.
Modify exam attributes such as examType.

Key Notes:

Only one type of document (pdf and jpeg) can be uploaded for an exam.
For jpeg files, multiple images can be uploaded sequentially, one at a time.
You can supply a PDF with fileUrl instead of uploading via documents.
fileUrl must be a public HTTPS URL, and the URL path must end with .pdf.
Use only one of documents, fileUrl, or isFinal in a single request (do not combine them).

Scenario: Finalizing an Exam and Triggering AI Extraction

This API allows a teacher to finalize an exam by setting the final attribute to true using the PATCH Update Exams API.

Outcome:

Finalizing triggers the AI extraction process to analyze uploaded documents (e.g., PDFs or JPEGs) and extract key details such as questions, marks distribution, and instructions.
The extracted data is stored for workflows like grading and reporting.

Note:

After setting isFinal to true, the AI extraction process is initiated. This process may take some time to complete.
To facilitate seamless integration, we provide a webhook feature. Once the extraction is successfully completed, the system will send a notification to the configured webhook URL.
Only one of documents or isFinal can be processed at a time.

Example Workflow:

Create an exam and upload the question paper.
Finalize the exam with { "isFinal": true }.
AI processes the content for automated and accurate extraction.
Receive a webhook notification upon successful extraction completion.

If both documents and isFinal are provided in the same request, a validation error is returned. Use either documents to upload, or isFinal to trigger extraction — not both together.
