Union human resource development minister Prakash Javadekar has mentioned that all the degrees and diplomas will be given in a digital format to the students from next year. p a national academic depository to provide degrees and diplomas in a digital format was a step towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi`s Digital India vision
Degrees, diplomas, mark sheets, migration certificate, skill certificate, etc., will be digitized and put in the national academic depository
The depository will share students� information with anyone like an employer or background screening firms only after getting consent from a student. But companies have been complaining about frauds in job applications, including academic frauds, and because of the lack of a national system that can help them verify academic records online by paying a nominal fee.
