No more getting lost: QR codes on Telangana inter hall tickets to guide students to centres
As students find it stressful to navigate to the centres particularly on the first day of the exam, the TG BIE is integrating QR codes, which come embedded with the location of the exam centres, to hall tickets
Hyderabad: Students appearing for the Intermediate Public Examinations, commencing March 5, need not worry about directions or getting lost while finding their centres.
All that students need to do is scan the Quick Response (QR) code printed on the hall tickets with a smartphone. Once scanned, students can view a clear route map to their exam centre. In addition, they can ascertain how far is their centre and even the estimated time it will take to reach the venue, considering traffic.
As students find it stressful to navigate to the centres particularly on the first day of the exam, the Telangana Board of Intermediate Education (TG BIE) is integrating QR codes, which come embedded with the location of the exam centres, to the hall tickets.
Several corporate colleges, especially the ones in the city, have the same names, but with different college codes, and this often causes confusion among students. Now, these QR codes will come in handy for students to locate centres with ease.
Earlier, the Board had launched an exam centre locator application to help students find their exam venues. The Board also decided to print the entire address of the centres on the hall tickets. Earlier, there had been a word limit of 13 to print the address on admit cards.
“This time we have removed the cap on the word limit and the entire address will be printed on hall tickets,” said S Krishna Aditya, Secretary TG BIE.
Further, this time hall tickets will come with contact details of the chief superintendent departmental officer contact details besides the Board’s IVR number. Students can reach out the numbers if they face any issue.
The Board has already put out nominal rolls, asking students to verify their credentials and subjects they are appearing in the exams for are correct. In fact, messages have also been sent to students’ registered mobile numbers, informing them about the nominal roll corrections, if any.
A total of 9,96,541 students registered for the intermediate exams, which will be conducted from March 5 to 25.
