MANGALORE: The advent of technology has ensured that students and parents have the SSLC examination results at their fingertips. Most of them use the Internet or mobile phones to know the results prior to its publication in their respective high schools.

Gone are the days when one rushed to school to see the results pasted on notice boards. With at least 10 websites posting the results as early as 1.30 p.m. on Saturday, most students preferred to log on to the websites to see the results prior to its publication in their schools three hours later. Results on mobile phones also came in handy.

Krithi K., a student of Chinmaya High School here, was more than overjoyed to know her results beforehand. She was thankful to a relative of hers, who had access to the Internet, as he broke the good news. Once sure of her performance, Krithi made the customary visit to her school to share her happiness with her classmates.

Like Krithi, her classmates Pavana S. Damle, Amith Kumar, Chethan, Karthik U. and Swathi were privy to their performance in the SSLC examinations once the websites started providing the results this afternoon. Despite this and other arrangements to announce their results, a few students preferred to go to their respective schools to know their results.

A.M. Kunjappa, Chief Executive Officer of the Dakshina Kannada Zilla Panchayat, said the Department of Public Instruction had made arrangements to collect the results and provide them to the Block Education Officers. Heads of educational institutions, in turn, collected the results from the officers and displayed them on the notice boards at the schools, he added.
