The exam timer is enforced on the server, not the browser. If a student
loses internet connectivity or closes the tab, the countdown continues. When
time runs out the platform automatically submits whatever answers have been
saved up to that point and displays: “Your time expired and the exam was
automatically submitted.” Students should ensure a stable internet
connection and a charged device before starting.
