## The Intensity of Admission Season
During university admission season (Medical, BUET, DU A-Unit, GST), coaching centers conduct 3 to 5 model tests every week. Managing negative marking (e.g. -0.25 per wrong answer), generating rank sheets, and notifying anxious parents before 9:00 PM requires military precision.
### How DocentBase Automates the Full Pipeline:
1. **OMR & Fast Marks Entry**: Teachers or data operators can upload batch CSV sheets or tap input scores in seconds.
2. **Instant Negative Marking & Percentile Computation**: Highest marks, median score, and batch-wise percentile ranks are automatically computed.
3. **Automated SMS Scorecard**: Parents receive an instant breakdown:
```
DocentBase: Shakil scored 84.75/100 (Physics Model Test 04). Batch Rank: 7/140. Highest: 96.00. Merit: Top 5%.
```
