Hello,

In NPTEL exams, your answers are typically autosaved as you progress through the questions, so you don't need to worry about losing your answers if you are suddenly disconnected or if the exam page refreshes. However, it is a good practice to ensure the following:

1. Submit Before Time Ends: Always try to submit before the exam timer runs out. The system usually submits whatever is saved, but manual submission confirms it.

2. Check for Saved Answers: Look for any indication on the exam interface showing whether your answer has been saved (often a checkmark or color change on the question number).

3. Avoid Browser Issues: Keeping your browser stable during the test can prevent issues. Avoid refreshing the page or navigating away, as this can sometimes interrupt the autosave.

While autosave is usually reliable, it’s best to double-check and submit manually to ensure all responses are recorded.

Hope it helps !
