Fair results give motivation and encouragement to the students. So reforms in education are must not only in curriculum development but also in students' performance assessment. Proposed method is useful when questions in the examination are of subjective or objective type and total time duration is given to attempt all questions rather than individual question. This method considers importance and complexity of question into account. It makes use of fuzzy inference system (FIS) and fuzzy logic.
