Kerala University comes across 18 fake certificates in a month

October 3, 2013

Kerala_University Thiruvananthapuram, Oct 3: Kerala University has stumbled upon over half a dozen fake degree certificates and over a dozen fake pre-degree certificates in a month.

It's not the first time that the university came across such fake certificates. It receives a good number of applications for verification of various certificates every month and many such certificates prove bogus on detailed verification. However, it has not been able to identify those holding the bogus certificates or those operating the fake certificate rackets.

University pro-vice-chancellor N Veeramanikandan said, "I've just completed a month in my post. During this brief period, I have come across at least six or seven cases of fake certificates."

Most enquiries for certificate verification come from agencies and companies outside the state. "In some cases, even the fake signature of VCs doesn't match with their original term in the office. We have not been able to take any stern action as the chances of identifying fake certificate rackets and those who obtain the same are remote," he said.

Controller of examinations K Madhukumar said the university was not in a position to seek police action even though it has come across a large number of fake certificates. He said at least 15 pre-degree certificates that came for verification were found fake a few days ago.

"Whenever the university confirms that a certificate it received for verification is fake, we inform the applicant about the same. We also request them to pass the original address of the certificate holder so that we can initiate action. However, no agencies or companies have so far heeded our request. We can't approach the police without the real name or address of the fake certificate holder. We will have to find other options," he said.

The university had, two years ago, introduced an online system for certification verification. The verification is completed in 15 days if applied online while it could take a month in case of manual submission.

CBSE: Core objective of NEP will be translated into action through NCF

News Network

August 9,2020

The core objective of the new National Education Policy (NEP), which has given freedom for amalgamation of different concepts, will be translated into action through the National Curriculum Framework, CBSE director said on Friday.

CBSE Director Biswajit Saha made the comments during an e-conclave on the new NEP organised by the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

“The core objective of the policy will be translated into action through the National Curriculum Framework (NCF), which needs more participatory approach. The policy has given freedom for amalgamation of different concepts and multidisciplinary approach. The NCF will give a roadmap for implementation of reforms laid down in the policy,” he said.

Saha said the training required for competency-based education and learning outcomes can be achieved with progressive participation of stakeholders.

“There could be a debate about the training required for competency-based education and learning outcomes but once we have decided we want to do it, it can be achieved with progressive participation of stakeholders. It is a forward-looking policy,” the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) director said.

The NEP approved by the Union Cabinet replaces the 34-year-old National Policy on Education framed in 1986 and is aimed at paving the way for transformational reforms in school and higher education systems to make India a global knowledge superpower.

Choice between 3 or 4 year undergraduate courses, multiple entry and exit options in degree courses, adding 3.5 crore seats in higher education institutions, which will now have a single regulator, discontinuation of M.Phil programmes and fixation of fees are among the higher education reforms outlined in the new NEP.
