May 2017 - Better Oral Section / Offline Question Set
While most upgrade last year went on the back-end side, today I realized that its almost a year since I updated this page. Few updates worth mentioning
Surveyors independent of MMD
When we made MMD / MCA Orals section, listing Surveyors as per examination Centre made sense. However, when last year few surveyors got transferred to different MMD, it would not show his name for the new Examination centre ! Thanks to Manoj Jagadish for this feedback and same was corrected last year.
We did no stop there, we went a small step ahead. Now you can search complete question sets as per only Examination Centre or even only a particular Surveyor !
Offline Question Sets
Thanks to Rahul Prakash who wanted to download question sets. We decided that an ad free PDF download with complete Oral Questions and answers would benefit everyone. It would not only consolidate all questions for easier reference but also help in preparing offline.
We have added a paid version of this downloadable Question set. Converting from HTML to PDF takes huge amount of resources and we needed to upgrade our server for it. For continuous availability and better services we have kept a price for these PDF version of the Oral Question set.
We have protected these PDF copies. When we made jahajee.com we had a view of collaborative effort by all mariners to help each other, to a certain extent it also worked well. Recently we found our content copied by many websites and it was still OK but when I found our questions being sold by some, we did not like it ! We have password protected, copy protected and print protected these PDF files.
We had a tough time deciding whether to print protect the same or not on feedback of Samiran Saha, but we decided to print protect it primarily due to following reasons.
a) We want to move towards digital preparation ! Printing these questions make handling them difficult, while PDF files can be copied to any device laptop, tablets and even your mobile phones and study anywhere, anytime !
b) Making it more environment friendly.
c) To prevent selling of printed versions.
Server Upgraded
As told before, with more traffic and server heavy jobs like PDF creation and large file downloads, we needed to upgrade our system. While our cost is increasing, till now, we have been coping well with our available resources.
Upgrading resulted in not only better Server, but also updated Programs and faster code execution !
Some feedback were about our Mobile App too ! We still do not have plans to launch any Mobile App. While mobile apps may be seen as the future, we at JAHAJEE believe many websites which have jumped into this wagon never required to ! In near future we are trying to make the website more APPY, probably work offline too and you still do not need to install it !
With a hope that there will be more updates and services within a year, I will take your leave ! Thanks to all for your feedback !
