The service will be made available to both prepaid and post paid subscribers.

These services can be accessed at a rate of one rupee per minute for which the user will have to subscribe to the "Exam Guru" pack, which is priced at Rs. 10 and carries a validity of 10 days.

These services are also available to the users at Rs. 3 per minute by simply dialing 53030303 for those who have not subscribed to the pack.

Krishna Durbha, Head of VAS Sales and Marketing of Reliance Communications said, "Thrust towards education is RCOM's contribution to take VAS beyond just entertainment. We have the reach now into millions of Indians and want to provide services critical to their daily lives. Education being the key aspiration and need for most Indians, we decided to use technology to advantage. Exam Results which were pioneered by RCOM about five years ago, revolutionized the way Indian students got access to results in their tense moments. The attempt is to provide not only exam results but also help students find the right course, seek admissions and provide all educational related information."

Students and their parents can access exam results of various educational boards instantly on their mobile phones any time, anywhere in India available on this educational portal.
