PUNE: The state board did not allow private players to host SSC results this year due to data privacy issues, leading to overloading of the board’s website and a six-hour delay before students could access their scores, Dinkar Patil, chairman of the board told TOI.
School education minister Varsha Gaikwad tweeted an inquiry has been ordered to find out the reason behind the technical problem and strict action will be taken against those found responsible for it.
Though the board declared the results on Friday at 1pm, as soon as the link went live, it crashed as lakhs tried to log in.
The board’s technical department made available two more links around 7pm. These too were inaccessible till late on Friday. “There were complaints of sale of data obtained from us for commercial purposes such as private classes. We were also concerned about the safety of data on girl students. From this year, only the official board website will give links to Class X and XII results,” Patil said.
