Biography

Shilpi is working in the University since 2017. She has a PhD in Educational Assessment from International Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore. Prior to that, she attended Nagpur University for a Bachelor’s degree in Electronics Engineering and Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology, Bhopal for MTech in Digital Communication. 

Shilpi brings in an experience of teaching in various engineering colleges across the country and applied research experience in the area of educational assessment. During her PhD, she worked on Online Assessment and Evaluation System (OAES) project for National Institute of Electronics and Information Technology (NIELIT).

Her current research interests include development of feasible quality assessment prototypes for formative purposes, assessment design and statistical evaluation of large-scale assessment data. She is also involved in designing and offering courses in various aspects of assessment to teacher educators, education functionaries, practitioners, and MA Education students. She is part of various technical committees set up by state and national boards to strengthen the design of board examination and classroom assessments. 

Certificate Courses
