To tackle fake marks cards, Karnataka government makes digital academic documents for recruitments official

To avoid the menace of fake marks cards, the State government has decided to make digital marks cards and educational certificates official for recruitments.

The government has issued an order that recruiting authorities and institutions should consider the marks cards and educational certificates in the National Academic Depository (NAD)-DigiLocker as official during recruitment.

In addition, from the academic year 2023-24, subordinate departments under the Department of Higher Education, public universities, and all educational institutions have been directed to compulsorily store graduation and postgraduation marks sheets, certificates, and other academic documents in digital form on NAD-DigiLocker.
