Exactness in Malayalam
The noun exactness is കൃത്യത (kruthyatha), said kru-thya-tha, and it is the usual word for precision in work, timing or measurement. Engineers, teachers and officials all use it freely. A more literary alternative, സൂക്ഷ്മം (sookshmam), leans towards fineness and minute care.
