An Indian English adverb meaning 'in terms of questions' or 'question by question,' formed using the highly productive '-wise' suffix common in South Asian English. Typically used in educational contexts — exam debriefs, study sessions, or academic discussions — where someone analyzes performance or content on a per-question basis. While '-wise' compounds are used in standard English (e.g., 'otherwise,' 'likewise'), Indian English extends this pattern more freely to create ad-hoc adverbs like 'questionwise,' 'subjectwise,' or 'topicwise.'
