This study examined the current practices, needs, and preferences of institutions in Pakistan regarding electronic assessment methods. The researcher conducted surveys between October 2006 and March 2007 using three questionnaires targeted at institutional staff, faculty, and students. The surveys aimed to identify current e-assessment activities and discuss implications regarding identified issues. The study concluded that while e-assessment allows testing to be done anytime and anywhere, widespread implementation in Pakistan faces challenges of reliable technology infrastructure and supporting unreliable power and network systems across testing centers.
