New Delhi: Delhi University (DU) has asked various school boards in the country to share the links of their Class XII examination results so that the documents of applicants can be verified online.
The university said this will help it to conduct a forensic examination of certificates and mark sheets as it was not feasible to ask the students to visit the varsity personally due to the coronavirus pandemic, news agency PTI reported.
DU already has access to CBSE results. However, since some papers are yet to be held, the final results of the CBSE board exams are yet to be declared while many state boards have announced their results.
“We did this exercise in May. We have sent a request letter to various boards across the country to share their links with the university so that verification of documents can happen online. Two boards have shared the links with us and we are hopeful that others will also do so,” said Shobha Bagai, DU’s Dean (Admissions).
Apart from CBSE, the two boards that have agreed to share their links with the university are NIOS and Jammu and Kashmir State Board of School Education (JKBOSE).
Last year, DU had made it mandatory for all its departments to carry out forensic checking of certificates and mark sheets submitted by admission seekers.
