Integrity of Officers/employees and hard punishments are the only solutions
against fake degrees. Fake degrees did exist from time immemorial and shall
survive because of human nature! Money and political power play the key role.

a fake one may seem daunting. Checks need to be put in place to curtail the
crime."You can now apply for a job in any MNC in India or abroad. Get a diploma,
degree or a certificate from any major university today. Professional degrees
from top engineering, law, MCA, MBA or design institutes are also
available."This is an extract from one of the thousand advertisements blatantly
promoting counterfeit degrees in India. The country has received a notorious
label for having the highest number of cases of employment-related
inconsistencies, according to a recent background discrepancy survey done
globally by background screening firmFirst Advantage. "The survey was carried
out globally, and the data had been collected from the employment logs of
various industries. An alarming rate of 50 per cent of all the job aspirants
forging their previous job experience certificates were exposed during the
survey. In fact, the statistics of 2013 indicated cases with such irregularities
in some employment sectors to have been as high as 71.5 per cent."For a few
hundred dollars, you can buy a degree of any college in the world. .Identifying
fake degreesDifferentiating a genuine degree from a fake one can be a daunting
task. First, the forgers have been able to decipher what kind of stationery or
paper to use, the right kind of ink to use as well as identical stamps, making
it extremely difficult to spot a fake. Secondly, the broken system allows some
of the fake degrees to be issued with the help of university officials
themselves for the price of a few hundred dollars.This makes background checks
extremely hard for a corporate or any institution. The reputation of
universities and institutes under whose name the fake degrees are issued, also
gets affected. There are certain options that can help curtail this
problem.Employers and institutions have the option of using manual checking
systems, which typically entails a verification agency to do physical checks at
various locations to ensure that correct data is being submitted by job-seekers.
This is an expensive, lengthy and a cumbersome process, which may take days or
even weeks to complete. This is not always foolproof.Recently, a new solution is
being considered by institutions, which seems to be a quick and inexpensive
option. Authenticate, a global software company, has recently launched a simple,
yet highly secure solution to hasten and foolproof the verification process.
This can be implemented by educational institutions while issuing degrees and
certificates, and can be instantly verified at the user end by a simple and free
downloadable app on a smart phone. It can be implemented in no time and is
"counterfeit-proof." It can help deserving candidates get the right jobs,
besides enabling employers save millions in carrying out background checks and
verification process of the candidates.Educate, Empower, ElevateProf. Bholanath
