Technology to detect the Fake certificates

Hyderabad April 12: In order to curb the fake certificates, TS govt is ready to start the online verification System. From this, we can find the original or fake certificate of Any Degree.

Going to details, Telangana State has become the first State in the country using technology with the database of its universities and potential employers giving open access to the latter to check the genuineness of the academic certificates of its students.

Any employer from any part of the world can now access the Online Verification system launched by the Telangana State Council of Higher Education (TSCHE) that created the database of students of the last five years passing out from its State universities. Five years' data previous to those five years will also be uploaded soon.

"We are the first State in the country (to do this) and the initiative was taken with complaints of fake certificates coming from various companies and embassies," said Tummala Papi Reddy, Chairman of the TSCHE.

"The Chief Minister was particular about creating this facility to keep Hyderabad's image intact," he said.

Potential employers and those checking the veracity of the claims can access the information by entering the hall ticket number, year of passing and the course studied. However, only the basic details on the genuineness of information like candidate’s name, parent’s name, university, duration of the course, marks scored and the division obtained are shown and not the total details so as to protect the privacy of the candidate.

City Police Commissioner M. Mahender Reddy suggested that the TSCHE link the Aadhaar number and also the student’s photograph to the information displayed.

"We are looking into those aspects. However, there are some challenges in attaching the picture as most of them are of poor quality and uploading them is a huge task," an official involved in the process said.
