Conventional manual grading takes a lot of time and is frequently inconsistent. Using automated code analysis and artificial intelligence methods, the study suggests an Artificial Intelligence (AI) -assisted assessment system for programming assignments. Logical correctness, language syntax, readability, documentation, and code standards are all assessed by the proposed framework. The findings show that while retaining a high degree of agreement with instructor ratings, AI-assisted assessment can drastically cut down on grading time. According to the results, AI can be a useful tool for decision-making to assess a large number of programming assignments to save time. Copyright@ International Science Community Association
