In yet another step to make the varsity student friendly, Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) has introduced a system to provide exam results through SMS.
The university, to which almost all engineering colleges in the state are affiliated, has more than 3.25 lakh students writing exam every semester. This includes BE, MBA, MTech, MCA and PhD students.
With this system, the students will get the results instantly on the mobiles for both the regular exams and revaluation requests. The system for revaluation has already been put in place.
To receive regular results, the students have to send the message: RESULT USN youremail id to 5424204. To receive revaluation results, the format is: REVAL USN youremailid to 5424204.
If you do not specify your email id, you will get results only via SMS.
Marks will be displayed in the format - subject code, external marks, internal marks total marks. The students will be charged for the SMS Rs 1, 2 or 3, for the sms, depending upon the operator.
Also, students can take print out of provisional copy of certificate, which will be emailed to them.
"We realized that this facility is the need of the hour. There are many students in the rural areas, who have no access to internet. Once the results are out, they either have to depend on their friends or their colleges. We want to reach out to them. As a next move, we would also like to send announcements and news updates through SMS," said H Maheshappa, vice-chancellor, VTU.
