The HRD ministry has directed all universities to issue degree certificates with photographs of students, HRD minister Prakash Javadekar announced on Saturday.
Speaking at the 20th convocation ceremony of Bharati Vidyapeeth, Javadekar said this was being done to avoid any misuse of degrees. He also spoke about a National Academic Depository and said universities can upload students’ documents on it free of charge till September. He, however, did not give any time frame for implementation of the directive.
“Students tend to lose their important documents, and when they go abroad they want authenticated certificates. Hence, we have started electronic depository called National Academic Depository. Degree certificates and marks lists will be on this depository. The institutes can upload their 10 years’ data free of cost till September,” added Javadekar.
Taking a jibe at Bharati Vidyapeeth University, which still continues with the tradition of convocation gowns, Javadekar said, “I had written a letter to all universities requesting them to switch to Indian dress, designed by their own students, for convocation. I hope Bharati Vidyapeeth, too, will follow this directive from next year.”
