mcq generator

This is a web app that takes a document and automatically generates multiple-choice questions from it. You upload a .txt or .pdf, pick how many questions you want and at what difficulty (easy, medium or hard), and it produces a quiz from the content.

My original plan was actually more ambitious on the NLP side — I wanted to build the question generation myself using a T5 encoder-decoder model together with a BERT encoder to analyse the text and synthesise questions. I started down that path, but between the complexity involved and a few other constraints, I paused that approach for the time being.

For the working version, I took a more direct route and used the Gemini-1.5-Flash model to do the generation, wrapped in a simple Streamlit app. It’s intentionally lightweight at this stage. I still plan to come back and build out the original transformer-based pipeline, and to add more features to the webapp.
