During this brief period, I have come across at least six or seven cases of fake certificates.”- The Times of India (October) Degrees and certificates are available on sale. Open advertisements are posted on mediums which claim to provide degree certificates and marksheets from any varsity in no time. Economic slowdown has hit the job market hard and it’s becoming even harder to land the dream jobs. The wide and easy availability of forged certificates indicates towards an underground yet well-oiled machinery which is effectively catering to the rising desperation among the unemployed for to cash in on the leeway. Are universities aware of the issue? Is anything being done about it? At present, it takes around two years to deliver the degree certificate. Even verification takes more than a month.

Will your company lay lesser stress on education verification in the wake of such measures?
