What Is an OMR Sheet?

An OMR (Optical Mark Recognition) sheet is a specially designed paper form containing bubbles, circles, boxes, or other markable areas that are machine‑read. Addmen OMR sheets are used widely for exams, surveys, application forms, feedback, attendance, etc.
Key components of proper OMR sheets:

Three Major Types of OMR Sheets / Forms

Addmen supports three main types:

Addmen supports
Type Purpose / When to Use
Answer Sheet (MCQ / Test Answer Sheet) For examinations/quizzes where students fill in options. These are “test-oriented” sheets where answers are evaluated against an answer key.
Form / Data Collection Form (Application, Survey, Feedback, Admission) Used for collecting data: personal details, opinions, survey responses, etc. No grading, just data capture.
Hybrid Sheets (Answer + Data Form) Combination of both: some parts for data collection (name, ID, etc.), others for test answers. Useful in admissions/tests where anonymity or verifying identity matters.
