Mailed you

Exactly what features are you looking for from the CBT software? What kinds of questions do you have in your question Bank? MCQ? Cloze? There are a ton of FREE production-grade CBT software available. I can point you to at least three, one of which was developed and is in use by a major university in the UK. You have to state your requirements for me to make a recommendation

Okay. And when you say offline, care to explain a bit? One that runs on a local server in your school (without access to the internet)? Where the students access the CBT software using computers on your local Lan? Do you know how to install web-based software on a local Lan? (web-based does not mean internet hosted)

Kindly drop your contact. I would like to reach out to you.

U can build a simple CBT by following simple quiz architecture in any language C# ,Java ,Dart(flutter),python, swift,kotlin or javascript to run offline on destop instead on local server (localhost) check youtube ,github and google for more resource . As a developer many research are needed

To add to this thread! I am cofounder of an edtech. One of our solutions is a cbte(Computer Based Test and Exam) software. It is accessible on desktop,mobile and web. Exams are not accessible on mobile only mock test or take home assessment. Questions could be text, picture, voice or video. You can also generate questions using AI,etc. It has a tons of features; monitoring,analysis,etc. It works offline and sync for organisation and educational institutions who have subscription account with us. To ensure exam takers don't exit the app(especially on desktop) it is fullscreen mode when the questions are set for exams. I believe the features I listed above should help you, even if you going to be a competition!

Am not against your solution but there are issues with it:
1. using a local host will mean investing in more hardware infrastructure over time
2. The same cbt solution will not be usable for other purpose such as home work assessment where student can practice at home
3. No single source of truth as data is scattered on different computers. The list goes on.........

Rather than using a localhost I will at worst use indexdb for offline storage and if questions are needed for future purpose the it should sync with an online database or convert the questions to a pdf file and make it downloadable

If you school is based in Nigeria we can come for a presentation so you see our solutions in the educational sector. Book a space and be listed among selected institutions for our presentations.

Local lan is different from localhost. You don't need to acquire new hardware to get started.

Who says the same CBT cannot be used for other purposes? Several VLEs have built in CBTs that can server that purpose. Moodle for example has excellent CBT as well as LMS functionality. Can be self hosted on a Local lan at almost no cost.

Finally, who said data was scattered across multiple computers. One server with a bank of questions. Tests available on local LAN or (with relevant port opening) Internet

For pure CBT, look at TCExam, Tao Testing, or Rogo from the University of Nottingham.

Destop, Web and mobile apps can be built on a local Lan server with unique IP address just like microsoft ,oracle or eTranzact software everything must be in a private client or server on in house database .

Na the reason why transaction dey stuck

What about Database Storage

Mysql ,Sql server , Sqlite or Oracle 19C u will make provision of the score to be sent remotely

Okay thanks, and there won't be possibility of data linking.

Can't the desktop app(exe) be extracted with even 7zip and all data exposed?

Yes , but you wont get the full code just the data . If you need the codes you can reverse engineer the software.
