The NIC State Unit of Arunachal Pradesh, operating from the easternmost part of the Country, has been engaged in a number of useful projects both for Central and State Government departments.
This State Unit of NIC has successfully completed a number of projects in the recent past. Prominent among them have been the computerization of the Billing System for the Department of Telecom, Itanagar. The total number of telephone connections in this sparsely populated State being presently limited to about 7,000, are monitored by the only District Manager, stationed at Itanagar. All the bimonthly phone bills are generated centrally at Itanagar, using the computerized billing system developed by NIC.
Another project which the NIC Arunachal Pradesh State Unit has completed recently is the Computerization of the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Merit list for the Directorate of Public Instruction (DPI), Arunachal Pradesh. A number of seats are reserved for Arunachal Pradesh in different educational institutions all over the Country. Candidates are selected through the common Joint Entrance Examination for various courses in diploma engineering, B.E./ B.Tech and MBBS/BDS, against the quota of seats available to the State.
In view of the sensitive nature of the work, it speaks volume of the confidence National Informatics Centre enjoys in this part of the Country.
