Software services firm Infosys today said it has worked with UCAS on its busiest day of the year to place a record number of students at universities and colleges in the UK.
Infosys was appointed to support the technology system of UCAS earlier in 2014. A joint UCAS and Infosys team worked over a number of months to ensure the systems could handle the massive workload required on August 14, A-level results day.
“Five million exam results were successfully uploaded to UCAS systems from over 130 files supplied by 36 awarding bodies. Around one million student logins were received from countries across the globe on multiple different channels and devices and the highest load recorded was a peak of 239 logins per second,” Infosys said in a statement.
Months of advanced planning with Infosys enabled UCAS to deliver A-level results day Confirmation and Clearing service, meaning hundreds of thousands of students were able to log in that morning to see if they had secured their place at university or college, UCAS Director IT James Munson said.
