Consider providing degrees online with digital signatures: Delhi HC asks DU

The Delhi High Court Wednesday directed Delhi University to consider the feasibility of making a special interface for providing degree-certificates with security features to students through an online mode with digital signatures.

The High Court said that “there is no reason as to why DU should not be adopting technically advanced methods to ensure that students are not inconvenienced.”

“Students ought not to be forced to approach courts for issuance of their mark-sheets, transcripts, degree-certificates etc., which ought to be issued in the natural course within a reasonable time,” Justice Prathiba M Singh said.
