Over 30 million students across the country, who have appeared for Class X and XII besides other competitive exams, can view their results on Reliance mobile phones on its popular mobile portal R-World.

"R-World will post AIIMS, CET, CMT, CBSE, ICSE and various state board school exam results instantly as they get announced over the next 90 days," Mahesh Prasad, president (applications and solutions group), Reliance Infocomm, said at a news conference in New Delhi.

As part of this initiative, over 70 exam results, including class X and XII as well as engineering and medical entrance test results will be posted on R-World, Prasad said, adding the service would be targeted at 30 million students and parents, covering 100,000 schools.

The service will be free of cost as R-World is a free service till June end, he added.

"We have not decided on the pricing framework after June as yet," he said.

The exam results application was launched last year with CBSE, ICSE and Uttar Pradesh state boards, and is being taken up on a nationwide basis this year.

Explaining the procedure for accessing the results, Prasad said users had to access R-World through Reliance mobile phones and feed the individual roll number to view the result.

"A student can see his marks card with subject-wise break-up and also get multiple examinees' results too," he said, adding the same can be forwarded to another mobile handset as well.

"It can be forwarded to any GSM mobile phone but the message on such phones would not be formated like in Reliance phones," he said.

The company's subscribers can also access the results using Reliance Infocomm's 1234 SMS-based service.

Over seven million subscribers all over the country currently use R-World which is Java-based and hosts 100 services.

"It is the first time that the entire marks card with all details can be viewed by subscribers and not just specifics like pass or fail and the percentage," Prasad said.
