THE SUSPENSE is finally over. The result of senior secondary exam conducted by Central Bureau of Secondary Education is out. The board has announced the result for XII for the Chennai, Ajmer and Panchkula regions only, rest of the result will be announced on Friday (May 22). Schools can access the result by registering at the CBSE websites: Results.nic.in, Cbseresults.nic.in and Cbse.nic.in. The board is also offering result information through the interactive voice response system.

Regional officer of CBSE, N Nagaraju, revealed to media that this year as many as 55,224 students have taken the exam from the Chennai region, which includes Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Pondicherry and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

But as a good sign, they say, the students of class XII in the city seem ready for the result and not many of them are stressed.

Anita Sharma, a CBSE counselor, said, “Most students only asked me about when the result will be out or what are the different courses available. As compared to last year, the students seem more aware of career opportunities and there are few stress-related calls now.’” Meanwhile, the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations has also declared results of the Indian School Certificate (ISC) Class XII and the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) Class X examinations today.

Stephen Wolfram's search engine to take on Google

The inventor of one of the most widely used science programmes has given the most detailed demonstration yet of a new search engine that many experts predict could revolutionise the way information is used on the Internet.

Stephen Wolfram, whose Mathematical programme is widely used throughout the science world, gave the details of his new computational search engine, named Wolfram Alpha in an online presentation. The company says the technology will go public on May 18.

Unlike Google, which automatically indexes billions of web pages to answer users' search queries, Wolfram Alpha uses sophisticated algorithms to attempt to understand user questions, and then uses the resources stored in its expert-curated database to offer up answers and relevant information.

"The idea is to try and bring expert-level knowledge to everyone," said Wolfram.

The result is very different from Google, which primarily points users in the direction of web pages. Wolfram Alpha, in contrast, displays information that it calculates by itself and shows in useful formats, offering numerous options for users to dig deeper into the subject.

It can answer questions like how high is Mt Everest, what is the fish production in Italy, and what was the weather in London on the day John F Kennedy was killed. But because it relies on verified data in its system rather than an ad hoc search of the internet, there are big gaps in its knowledge, especially in pop culture and information that frequently changes, such as film showings.

"We are just at the beginning," said Wolfram, 49. "I think we've got a reasonable start on 90 percent of the shelves in a typical reference library."

Experts like Tom Simpson, on the blog Convergenceofeverything.com, said that rather than displacing Google, the new tool reflected the growing reach of emerging artificial intelligence and "a step towards a self-organising internet" that intuitively understands what users need from it.

The conference ended Thursday.The government appointed the vice-chancellors in February.The VCs met here for the first time to prepare a roadmap for making the 15 new central universities functional from the 2010-11 session.

College is Hard - Research is Easy


The new VCs have assured UGC that they would be able to start courses in their institutions.'Most of them have been given land. They are expected to start certain courses from the coming session,' said a UGC official.

The universities would offer under-graduate, post-graduate, M.Phil and Ph.D programmes, besides courses on regional issues, said the UGC official.The UGC has already sanctioned nearly Rs.2 crore to each of these universities to meet their operational expenditure. Most of the universities are expected to start with a temporary campus. Some already have temporary campuses, said the UGC official.
