Degree is Ready, It Will Be Uploaded on NAD: Students Can Track Status

Good news for students! The authorities have decided to simplify the process of accessing degrees by using the National Academic Depository (NAD). This initiative will ensure that students can view and download their degrees online as soon as they are ready. Furthermore, they can also track the status of their degrees. This development was announced recently and is expected to benefit students across various universities in India.

 

What is NAD?

The National Academic Depository (NAD) is a digital platform where academic institutions upload verified academic records. Managed by the Ministry of Education, NAD ensures safe, reliable, and quick access to educational documents. Students can access their certificates, mark sheets, and degrees without the hassle of physically visiting their institutions. This makes the entire process more transparent and efficient.

How Will This Work?

1. Degree Upload: Once a student completes their course and their degree is ready, the respective university will upload it to NAD.
2. Notification to Students: Students will receive a notification on their registered email or mobile number as soon as the degree is uploaded.
3. Tracking Status: Students can log in to the NAD portal using their credentials to check the progress. The system will display whether the degree is under preparation, under verification, or ready for download.
4. Download or Print: Once the degree is uploaded, students can download or print a verified copy of their degree from the portal. This copy will carry a digital signature to ensure authenticity.

Benefits for Students

This initiative comes with several benefits:

• Time-Saving: Students no longer need to wait in long queues at universities to collect their degrees.
• Transparency: The tracking feature ensures that students are informed about the exact status of their degree.
• Ease of Access: The degree is available anytime and anywhere, eliminating the need to carry physical copies.
• Verification for Employers: Employers can directly verify the authenticity of degrees through NAD.
