TG BIE likely to release intermediate exam results on WhatsApp

The Board is planning to roll out a dedicated number on which the results can be viewed and scorecard downloaded; exam results may be released in the last week of April

Hyderabad: If the plan of the Telangana Board of Intermediate Education (TG BIE) fructifies, students can view their results on WhatsApp. The Board is exploring the option of making the recently held intermediate public examinations (IPE) results available on WhatsApp.

For this, the Board is planning to roll out a dedicated number on which the results can be viewed and scorecard downloaded. All that is required is the candidate’s hall ticket number.

This initiative is on the lines of the Andhra Pradesh government’s ‘Mana Mitra’, an initiative for WhatsApp governance. By sending ‘Hi’ message to Mana Mitra at number 9552300009, people can avail around 200 services, including download of the intermediate results that were released on Saturday.

According to sources, TG BIE is looking into technical aspects and arrangements before commencing the new service. If not for the IPE March 2025, the initiative is likely to be launched for the intermediate advanced supplementary results.

Meanwhile, the Board concluded the evaluation of the intermediate answer scripts. At present, codification is being done at the Centre for Good Governance that is expected to take a week or 10 days to complete. Results may be released in the last week of April.

This time, to ensure that there are no discrepancies in the results, the Board officials randomly scrutinised the answer scripts, particularly of the candidates who scored lowest marks i.e., zero. Under this exercise, the spot evaluation camp officials – examiners and scrutinisers – were given four slabs – 0 to 10 marks, 25-35 marks, 50-60 marks and 90-100 marks – for re-verification of the answer scripts.

A total of 9,96,971, including 4,88,448 first year and 5,08,253 second year students registered for the intermediate examinations that were conducted in 1,532 centres across the State from March 5 to 25.
