PANAJI: Goa University (GU) has now made it possible for any individual to check at the click of a mouse the authenticity of degrees claimed by a student to have been issued by the varsity.
The university has provided a link on its website where an employer or an institute from outside the state can
upload a degree and verify if it is indeed one issued by Goa University.
"For a small sum that can be paid through the online mode, one can check the authenticity of a document. Recently, some cases had been reported to the police where fake certificates claimed to have been issued by the university were being used. The simple online authentication process will help employers a great
deal to identify such fake certificates," Goa University registrar Vijayendra Kamat told TOI.
Goa University recently sanctioned a 3.67crore ambitious project, under which work has begun on a integrated university management system.
Under the project, all Goa University data and that of affiliated institutes will be computerized and made centrally manageable through a linked system.
The system will make every detail under GU's ambit available at the click of a mouse to users for data on students, fees, course structures, university notifications, convocations, teacher trainings, alumni, varsity assets and finance.
After a rigorous process, a GU technical committee had finalized Kerala State Electronics Development Corporation (KSEDC) which is delivering the service along with its consortium partner, Expedeion.
GU is also slowly moving towards the online admission process, which will help it create a constant database of future students who register with it, and which will help in the process of checking the authenticity of certificates.
