School education department portal extends OTP validity to 3 days in TN

TIRUCHY: In the wake of complaints from schoolteachers of “practical difficulties” in verifying over one crore contact numbers fed in the Educational Management Information System (EMIS) through a one-time password, the portal since Friday has been upgraded to extend the validity of the OTPs.

The school education department has allotted the task of verifying the existing contact numbers of students’ parents in EMIS with the teachers. The teachers have to collect the OTP sent individually to the parents’ numbers and complete verification by entering it in the portal.
