Photos, Aadhaar numbers must be in degree certificates: UGC

Posted on: 23/Mar/2017 4:05:17 PM
The University Grants Commission (UGC) has announced a sensational order to all the Universities and colleges throughout the country.

The Secretary of the UGC, Mr J. S Sandhu, has issued an order to all Universities that all the degree certificates and mark-sheet certificates given to the students must contain a photograph and the Aadhar card number of the student.

Further, the name of the institute where the students studied must also be entered in these certificates.

It has been explained that this sudden order is a measure to curb the issue of fake certificates by introducing some safety features as above giving more details of the student. It will also be much easier to check the validity of the certificates.

This decision had been taken during a recent meeting conducted by the UGC.
