Leveraging AI for Instant Essay Grading

The biggest bottleneck in scaling an IELTS, TOEFL, or GRE coaching institute isn't getting students—it’s grading their essays.

A single instructor can reasonably teach 50 students in a Zoom class. But if those 50 students submit two essays a week? That’s 100 essays. At 15 minutes per essay, that’s 25 hours of grading.

This is why most institutes cap their feedback. "One essay per week" or "Feedback within 5 days." This frustrates students who want to practice daily and improve fast.

Enter AI Grading. It’s not about replacing the teacher; it’s about removing the lag time between "doing the work" and "knowing if you did it right."

How It Works (Technically)

ProQyz uses Large Language Models (LLMs) fine-tuned specifically on official scoring rubrics (e.g., the IELTS Band Descriptors).

We don't just ask the AI "Is this good?". We force it to evaluate the essay against four specific criteria:

• Task Achievement: Did the student answer the prompt fully?
• Coherence & Cohesion: Do the paragraphs flow logically?
• Lexical Resource: Is the vocabulary varied and precise?
• Grammatical Range & Accuracy: Are there sentence structure errors?

The "Instant Feedback" Loop

When a student submits an essay on ProQyz, they get a detailed report in under 30 seconds.

Is It Accurate?

This is the #1 question we get. We ran a blind test comparing ProQyz AI scores against certified human examiners.

• Correlation: 94% alignment with human scores.
• Consistency: The AI never gets tired, hungry, or bored. It grades the 100th essay with the same rigor as the 1st.

While AI might miss the "soul" or "creative nuance" of a poem, for standardized tests like IELTS/PTE which rely on strict structural rules, AI is arguably more consistent than a tired human.

Implementing This in Your Institute

You don't need to build this yourself. ProQyz comes with the AI Grading engine pre-integrated.

1. Create a Test: Enable "AI Grading" in the settings.
2. Assign to Batch: Send the link to your students.
3. Review the Dashboard: You (the admin) see all scores. You can verify them and add your own "Human Touch" comments if you wish, but the heavy lifting of grammar checking is done for you.
