Devise way to verify documents: Manav Bharti passouts

Shimla, February 28

Around 110 pass outs of the Manav Bharti University have formed an association under the banner of “Justice for Manav Bharti Students’ Association, which has urged the government and the education regulator to safeguard the interests of genuine students, whose certificates and degrees are not being verified and authenticated due to the ongoing probe into the fake degree case. Association members urged that some interim mechanism be put in place to verify the documents.

“Whenever a person applies for any job or for higher education, his/her educational background and documents are verified by the employer or the institution. The pass outs of the Manav Bharti University are facing problems in doing so as their verification is being denied by the university,” said a member of the association.

“The university, where an administrator had been appointed, said it cannot verify the credentials of the students as the records of the students had been seized by the SIT investigating the fake degree scam,” he alleged. — TNS
