• 3 million students graduate from Indian higher education system every year and a Degree Certificate is their ultimate document for entering the job market or pursuing further studies
• A nation-wide survey of Graduates of the 2007 - 2010 batch conducted by MeritTrac reveals that around 81% of them faced an inordinate delay in getting the degree certificate and 86% of them had to pursue this repeatedly with their universities
• 92% of students felt that that usage of technology will improve the system and it is such a system that MeritTrac has created to distribute digital Degree Certificates in a secure, quick and student friendly manner
Over 3 million students graduate every year from our higher education system, ready to either plunge into the job market or pursue further studies. While applying for further studies or for their dream jobs, a graduate requires his degree certificate to manifest completion of required minimum qualification. Every year many of these just graduated candidates miss excellent opportunities due to inordinate delays in getting their degree certificate. At times making several rounds to their Institution or University, paying “extra” money finally gets them their well deserved due which has been earned by them.
On the other hand, large Universities in India manage a huge pool graduating students every year and it is not easy to distribute the final Convocation Degree certificate since they are not collected by all students on a particular day. On top of it, there are rampant practices of fake degree certificates which hit the headlines every year. As a result, Universities struggle to maintain the sanctity of their processes amidst the administrative pressures that they face.
A research by MeritTrac research team on 200 graduates passed out between 2007 to 2010 throws some interesting facts about this process of getting the degree convocation certificate.
• More than 81% of the students who have received their degree certificate said that there was a delay in getting their certificate, with 60% of them facing a delay of over 6 months
• About 86% respondents said that they had to do a lot of running around to get their degree certificate
• Around 23% of the students indicated that they faced problems with incorrect information (wrong spelling of names, etc.) in the final certificate that they got
• A whopping 92% respondent expressed their displeasure with the system thought that usage of technology like online application to be implemented by the Universities.
It is in this context that MeritTrac is bringing out another innovation from its stable - CertiTrac.
CertiTrac is India’s first technology-led solution for secure distribution of digital Convocation Certificates. It is a first-of-its-kind service that enables University Graduates to access their Certificate online, without having to personally visit either the Institution or the University.
Based on their University Registration number and a combination of their personal details, students have the option to pay the Convocation fees either online or by way of Demand Draft. The online payment of the certificate fees can be made either by Credit Card or Debit Card or through Net-Banking. Once the payment is successful, and the details are authorized by University officials, the e-Convocation Certificate will get generated in ‘preview mode’ for the students. They will then be able to preview the certificate and verify that the certificate is correct in all respects. Subsequently, post confirmation, the final e-Convocation Certificate is generated and available for the student to print or download. Immediately, a request is generated to print and dispatch the Original Degree Certificate. At every stage of the process, the candidate is kept informed of the status of his application via emails and SMSes. ...
