The CoCubes assessment platform has video proctoring feature as well.
• Hence the computers provided to candidates are expected to have webcam as a mandatory requirement.
• If not, students are expected to bring their laptops (with integrated webcam) and connect to college Wi-Fi for better connectivity.
• As last option, if students do not have laptops, they can use cell phones for the assessment and take the assessments in campus. (However, we do not encourage taking the assessment on mobile devices as the system is designed for better effectiveness and minimal errors when taken on laptops.)
