This disclosure relates generally to a method and system for securely conducting a digital examination. The present disclosure uploads the question papers, OMR bubble sheet and question paper's color information specific to an examination to a server wherein it is encrypted, zipped into a bundle wherein a unique key is generated. The encrypted bundle is downloaded, decrypted and unzipped on an electronic device using the user provided key wherein the invigilator adds the required details and encrypt again. The encrypted bundle is distributed to the candidate device through the paper distribution adhoc protocol. The candidate downloads, unzip and decrypts the encrypted bundle on the candidate device and provides the response to the question paper. The candidate's responses are evaluated, and result is declared locally if the candidate device is configured with a master key or uploaded to the server for further processing.
