The NIC Tamil Nadu State Unit undertook the exercise of Information Dissemination, Web Publishing and Auto Mailing of the Tenth Standard(SSLC) Results in the State. The entire exercise, the first of its kind in the Country, benefitted lakhs of students who were keen to know their Board Results. The Results were disseminated in three distinct modes :
Through World Wide Web
A web site was specially created for result dissemination through the WWW and the URL was announced in the local newspapers. For this purpose, four web servers were set-up at the NIC building, which were maintained round the clock for four days to allow maximum access. More than 4,00,000 students obtained their results through this facility.
Through Local Databases
The data was also loaded on Local Servers in NIC Centres located in different parts of Chennai and all the State Districts. These centres disseminated information to about 2,50,000 users.
Through Auto Email
Email facility was extensively used for result dissemination . The User could send a request to two specified mailboxes with the Roll Number in the Subject column and the result was automatically sent back to his/her mailbox. More than 18,000 users obtained their results through this facility.
