Many coaching institutes have years of valuable question papers sitting in physical folders or PDF archives, completely unavailable to students online. Digitizing this archive represents a massive value unlock — but it sounds like an enormous project. With PrepLab, you can realistically digitize a 5-year question bank archive in a single weekend.
Here is how.
Weekend Digitization Plan
Step 1: Friday Evening: Organize Your PDFs
Gather all your PDF question papers into a single folder organized by subject and year. If papers are physical, scan them at 300 DPI — even a phone scanner app works.
Step 2: Saturday Morning: Batch Upload to PrepLab
Upload all PDFs to PrepLab's document portal. The AI pipeline processes each one. Typically takes 2-5 minutes per 20-page PDF.
Step 3: Saturday Afternoon: Review Extractions
Go through the extraction results. Flag any questions that extracted incorrectly and quickly correct them using the question editor.
Step 4: Saturday Evening: Auto-Tag the Bank
Run the AI auto-tagging operation on your newly imported questions. PrepLab classifies each by subject, chapter, and difficulty.
Step 5: Sunday: Build Test Templates
Create reusable test templates for your standard test formats. Now you can assemble tests from the digitized bank in minutes.
