- Faster Response: SMS services handle traffic better than overloaded servers.
For rural students, SMS remains the most practical method to check results in 2025.
Limitations of SMS Checking
While SMS is useful, it has some limitations:
- Only Shows Total Marks: Unlike online results, SMS does not show subject-wise details.
- Cost per SMS: Each SMS usually costs Rs. 2–5 depending on your network.
- Delayed Replies: On peak result hours, SMS replies may take longer.
- No Record Keeping: Unless you save the SMS, you won’t have a detailed copy of your result.
That’s why it’s best to use SMS as a backup method along with online checking and gazette.
