Kerala University has launched a special cell to scrutinise degree certificates issued by other universities.
Created in the wake of the admission fraud involving a former Students Federation of India (SFI) leader at the MSM College in Kayamkulam, the ‘genuineness verification cell’ has also been tasked with verifying all degree certificates submitted for admission during the last 10 years.
The university on Saturday issued orders finalising the guidelines for the cell that will comprise an assistant registrar, a section officer and an assistant.
