Crashing Concerns

Though this year was the very same as the last one for the UPTU-SEE organizing committee, all went cool and calm but concern that stirred me the most was their websites. There were just around two lac students giving the SEE, and I guess not more than a lac would've been opening their website at the same time. But as usual the amateur looking websites, woke up a bit late or I guess much too late, students weren't able to check their results up-to the very night of result declaration. Some even complained of pressing F5 every five seconds from the very morning, stuck all day to their screens, after-all their career depends on it. The problem is out there but no one cares, its like it happens every year, lets have it this year too. Later I came to know that they even helped each candidate stay on their website ten more seconds by putting a captcha, what the hell problem do they have with automated result extractors, that they traded precious bandwidth when it was needed the most!!

These websites of the state's Mahamaya Technical University(i feel so bad to link these sites that aren't even working when I am attaching them here. It is bearing a tag "Under construction", yes it is the most important thing to do when the students need your website the most) who until last year claimed themselves to be the "Asia's biggest technical university" can't even bear the load of 50K students checking their results, their pages so ill designed, who could have been so light, take a hectic much of time to open even on a considerably fast Internet connections. Don't these people bother to have a "Google Analytics" or "Google Webmaster" account(yes, these services are free, of course I don't expect them to pay for anything) or can't they host the results at more than one servers so that they can bear the load. Can't they check what happens to their websites every year when the results are declared. They call themselves a technical university. Huh!
And the amazing thing is that I found the much smaller state, Chattisgarh's website was more sophisticated and professional, but they had other kinds of problem. Like they dont even work on SEO(Search Engine Optimization), I think.... however particular you may try to be in your keywords on Google, you can't find their results page in there, you have to pick up the brochure for their website!

Please Wait

Huh I am sick of it, people are so interested in watching those fashion blunders in those actors whom we don't even know from a mile away. And they cant even see these technological blunders that lead to so much of problem to people. Some of their websites are still down on 29-05-11, only good thing they did was put the result to the root webpage of their website, making their other pages inaccessible with the main page itself. Its not just UPTU its all over there, I see sites with black text on black backgrounds, really I want a leave, please dear reader let me take leave of you!
And yes one more thing, check out what their webpage(unedited, click to read) reads out:

MTU, under conttruction

"Under Consttruction." Cant help it!!
*Amazing, their links which take the candidates to information regarding councelling are still showing up 404 error at the time of publish of this post!
