DeepGrade, the flagship AI-powered assessment platform developed by Smartail, is witnessing growing adoption across schools and educational institutions in India, with Gurukul High School emerging as one of the early adopters integrating the platform into its academic ecosystem.
Located in South Bengaluru, Gurukul High School follows the Montessori philosophy, encouraging self-directed, experiential, and collaborative learning. The institution has consistently embraced technology-driven innovations to meet evolving educational and assessment needs.
The school is led by Dr. Gowri Prabha Prasad, Principal and educationist, who also serves as Secretary of the Bangalore Sahodaya Schools Complex Association. With more than a decade of experience as a CBSE Resource Person and Master Trainer, she has played a significant role in curriculum development, teacher training, and institutional transformation initiatives. Her contributions to education have earned her recognitions including “Innovative Principal of the Year” and “Best Principal” at the Karnataka Educational Awards.
Under her leadership, the institution has adopted DeepGrade to strengthen and modernize its assessment framework. The AI-enabled platform evaluates handwritten and digital responses using structured rubrics, ensuring consistency, transparency, and accuracy in grading. It also delivers actionable insights that help educators reduce manual workload and focus more effectively on classroom teaching and student mentoring.
By integrating DeepGrade into its academic processes, the school has enabled faster evaluation cycles, data-driven academic monitoring, and improved visibility into student performance for teachers, parents, and school leadership. The platform also helps identify learning gaps early, allowing timely remedial interventions and personalized academic support.
Aslam Sherieff, Co-Founder and Chief Growth Officer of Smartail, said, “We’re working closely with schools and institutions to make assessment more meaningful, not just more efficient. With DeepGrade, the focus is on supporting educators with consistent evaluation and clear insights, enabling them to dedicate more time to teaching while institutions gain a deeper understanding of learning outcomes.”
Dr. Gowri Prabha Prasad added, “This has been a valuable addition to our assessment practices. It enables teachers to go beyond marks and analyse patterns in student learning, while also providing the institution with a structured and transparent framework to monitor academic progress.”
The collaboration reflects the growing shift toward AI-driven assessment in Indian education, combining strong pedagogical practices with advanced technology to enhance learning outcomes and create scalable models for future-ready schools.
