Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], May 16: Deepgrade, a flagship AI assessment platform by Smartail, is expanding across schools and education institutions in India. Gurukul High School, Bengaluru, is among the early adopters, integrating the system into its academic processes.
Gurukul High School, located in South Bengaluru, follows the Montessori approach, emphasizing self-directed, experiential, and collaborative learning. The institution also integrates technology to address evolving academic and assessment requirements.
The school is led by Dr. Gowri Prabha Prasad, an educationist and Principal, who also serves as Secretary of the Bangalore Sahodaya Schools Complex Association. With over a decade of experience as a CBSE Resource Person and Master Trainer, she has led initiatives in curriculum development, teacher training, and institutional transformation. Her contributions have been recognised through awards such as “Innovative Principal of the Year” and “Best Principal” at the Karnataka Educational Awards.
Under her leadership, the school has adopted DeepGrade to strengthen its assessment practices. The platform enables AI-based evaluation of handwritten and digital responses using structured rubrics, ensuring consistency and transparency in grading. It also provides actionable insights, allowing educators to reduce manual workload and focus more effectively on teaching and student support.
Through the integration of DeepGrade, Gurukul High School has embedded AI-enabled assessment into its academic processes. The platform supports faster evaluation cycles, consistent grading standards, and data-driven insights across student, classroom, and institutional levels. It also helps identify learning gaps, enabling timely academic interventions, while offering greater visibility into student progress for parents and school leadership.
Aslam Sherieff, Co-Founder and Chief Growth Officer of Smartail, said, “We’re working closely with schools and institutions to make assessment more meaningful, not just more efficient. With DeepGrade, the focus is on supporting educators with consistent evaluation and clear insights, enabling them to dedicate more time to teaching while institutions gain a deeper understanding of learning outcomes.”
Dr. Gowri Prabha Prasad, Principal of Gurukul High School, added, “This has been a valuable addition to our assessment practices. It enables teachers to go beyond marks and analyse patterns in student learning, while also providing the institution with a structured and transparent framework to monitor academic progress.”
The collaboration between DeepGrade by Smartail and Gurukul High School reflects the growing shift toward AI-driven assessment in education. By combining strong pedagogical practices with advanced technology, the initiative enhances teaching effectiveness and student learning outcomes, while offering a scalable model for schools across India.
