Why schools look past HackerRank.
- 1
You're teaching, not hiring
Practicals live in the course with the batch, the semester and the marks.
- 2
Labs are more than code
SQL, PHP websites, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, design apps and viva, one tab each.
- 3
Results need to land somewhere
Practical marks reach insights, result sheets and transcripts.
Online exams and proctoring
Watch the moments that matter, not three hours of video.
Students share their screen; it's kept on their device in a rolling buffer. Only the times they leave are cut, uploaded and summarised for you.
What you keep
- Code run against tests
- Several languages
- Integrity checks
- Instant results for students
Why SparkMentis wins
- Made for coursework: practicals belong to a course, a batch and a semester.
- SQL graded like XAMPP and whole PHP websites tested step by step.
- Office and design practicals in the same place.
- Marks flow into results and transcripts.
Where to start.

Where does the code run?
