  When an applicant files an online application, there is usually a requirement
to fill the marks in the online form and also upload the marksheet in the
portal for the verification. A system was built for reading the uploaded
marksheet using OCR and automatically filling the rows/ columns in the online
form. Though there are partial solutions to this problem - implemented using
PyTesseract - the accuracy is low. Hence, the PaddleOCR was used to build the
marksheet parser. Several pre-processing and post-processing steps were also
performed. The system was tested and evaluated for seven states. Further work
is being done and the system is being evaluated for more states and boards of
India.
