Excelsoft Technologies has secured a strategic partnership with AQA Education, the United Kingdom's largest awarding body, to jointly develop a next-generation e-marking platform.
The engagement is expected to strengthen Excelsoft's position in the global assessment technology market while creating future commercial opportunities beyond the initial deployment.
The collaboration will combine Excelsoft's existing e-marking technology with AQA's extensive experience in managing high-stakes examinations.
AQA selected Excelsoft following a multi-stage evaluation process that assessed the company's technology capabilities, scalability and operational strengths.
The project will focus on building a unified digital marking platform designed for large-scale assessment environments.
Once implemented, the system will replace AQA's three existing e-marking platforms with a single integrated solution.
The scale of the engagement is significant. The platform is expected to process approximately 12 million student examination scripts annually and support around 40,000 examiners.
The solution is being designed to provide secure, reliable and consistent evaluation of handwritten examination papers while supporting the operational requirements of one of the world's largest qualification systems.
The contract spans multiple years and carries a multi-million-pound value, highlighting the strategic importance of the project for both organisations.
Doreswamy P, Chief Executive Officer of Excelsoft Technologies, described the partnership as a major milestone for the company, noting that the engagement reflects confidence in Excelsoft's technology, operational capabilities and long-term vision for digital assessment.
Justin Coombs, Chief Assessment Technology Officer at AQA, said the organisation selected Excelsoft's Saras platform to support the accurate and reliable marking of millions of examination scripts.
He added that Excelsoft's experience and technical capabilities positioned it well to deliver the next phase of AQA's digital marking infrastructure.
Beyond serving AQA's requirements, both organisations plan to explore opportunities to offer the platform to other awarding bodies and assessment organisations across the United Kingdom, Europe and international markets.
For Excelsoft, the partnership validates its existing e-marking technology and expands its presence in a specialised segment of the global education technology industry.
The company provides assessment and learning solutions to educational institutions, awarding bodies, governments and enterprises, with a focus on large-scale examinations, digital learning platforms, AI and cloud-based technologies.
As of 29 May 2026, at 11:48 AM, Excelsoft Technologies Ltd share price is trading at ₹89.52 per share, reflecting a surge of 2.39% from the previous closing price.
The AQA partnership gives Excelsoft a high-profile global deployment opportunity while creating a pathway for future expansion in digital assessment technology across international markets.
