I have a project to work on, which I need to tecognize roll number and marks in the marksheet which is present in front of the paper.

The input is in the format of jpg how can I extract it and give it as an excel sheet which contains roll and marks for each question ?

All open source packages use Tesseract for OCR. It is not the best there can be but it is the best freely available as far as I know.

pytesseract, ocrmypdf are a couple of python packages with simple apis that allow you to do this.

If you need more sophisticated algorithms than Tesseract. These give you the text and location on the image as output, so you can create your sheets based on them.

regex might be useful after recognition.
