NIC has been successfully publishing various examination results on the Internet for many years now. The Results Portal ‘http://results.gov.in’ is a one-stop source to get online results of various academic, entrance and recruitment examinations conducted by various government agencies including CBSE, State Education Boards, Universities, Professional Institutes etc. The portal has become a household name with the students, parents and teachers alike who are keen on checking the results for various Central and State level entrance examinations for Medical, Engineering, MBA, etc., exams conducted by Staff Selection Commission (SSC) and other recruiting agencies. For some organisations, the portal also publishes Examination Schedules, offers downloading of Admit Cards, printing of Mark Sheets and online submission of Application Forms and Re-evaluation Forms. With a large number of exam related activities coming into the online arena, we are witnessing a paradigm shift in the delivery of service in the result announcement system. Millions of students, across the country appear for examinations every year and wait for the results with baited breath. Till a few years back, it was a common sight to see the students thronging notice boards & news papers offices trying to find their roll number in the list of successful candidates. In some parts of the larger States, it used to take days, even weeks to have a glimpse of the result leave alone having a copy of the mark sheet. The emergence of Internet has transformed the above scenario as it has made it possible for students to check their Exam Result in the comfort and safety of their own homes or Cyber Cafes. A click of a mouse not only gives them the result but also shows the details of the marks scored in different subjects. The portal also features important announcements, both prior to the declaration of the result and upon its launch on the Internet, informing students, who can then access their results using a simple browser based interface by entering their roll number at the requisite place. The students are ecstatic with the new system and the response overwhelming. Students can also avail the facility of receiving their results by Email, SMS or IVRS (Interactive Voice Response System). In 2006 itself, a whopping 40 million hits were received on this portal during the declaration of class X & XII results of CBSE alone.
