In recent times, we have seen in the news, cases wherein individuals are indulging in procuring fake educational degrees\/documents to ensure better job opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>If you think we harp too much about screenings and verifications, then you would be alarmed to learn that &#8211; 1 in 10 candidates in India lies about their education on their resume. That\u2019s right!<\/p>\n<p>Early into the year we heard of the infamous fake degree racket operating in Delhi. It was unearthed that more than 50,000 students had procured fake certificates, mark sheets and degrees. These rogues were operating 27 fake websites which offered fake class X, class XII, graduate and postgraduate certificates\/degrees. It was revealed when the scam was exposed that students paid as high as INR 3 Lakhs for a degree.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a list of fake websites that had been created by them:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; bseap.org.in, pertaining to Board of Secondary Education Andhra Pradesh,<br \/>\n&#8211; alldunivpio.org, pertaining to University of Allahabad,<br \/>\n&#8211; upboard.in, pertaining to UP State Board,<br \/>\n&#8211; statecouncil.in, pertaining to Karnataka State Council of Intermediate and Higher Education,<br \/>\n&#8211; dcrusm.org, pertaining to Deenbandhu Chhotu Ram University of Science and Technology, Haryana,<br \/>\n&#8211; punjabboard.org, pertaining to Punjab State Open School,<br \/>\n&#8211; ncte.org.in, pertaining to Northern Council For Vocational Training,<br \/>\n&#8211; ksou.info, pertaining to Baba Sahib Ambedkar Institute of Technology Management,<br \/>\n&#8211; pcigov.in, pertaining to Para Medical Council (India) and<br \/>\n&#8211; cisceresults.org, pertaining to Council For The Indian School Certificate Examinations<\/p>\n<p>The fake websites generated such authenticate degrees that even you and I wouldn\u2019t be able to tell a fake one from a genuine one. What\u2019s alarming is that thousands of people have secured jobs through these forged certificates.<\/p>\n<p>I was reading not long ago, that this trend has trickled into the medicine world as well. The Maharashtra Medical Council suspended the licenses of around 20 doctors for furnishing fake medical degrees. Isn\u2019t this a terrifying thought! It gave me goosebumps reading it. Imagine having a fake degree holder administering medicines to your loved ones. In worst cases performing surgical operations on them. It\u2019s downright petrifying!<\/p>\n<p>Imagine the candidate you just hired, who boasted of doing well at university; who seems so confident and feels like the right fit \u2013 HAS A FAKE DEGREE! It\u2019s possible, let me assure you! Being in the business of verification and screening, we have time and again come face to face with instances where candidates have lied about their educational qualifications.<\/p>\n<p>Motive \u2013 to attain the job; Result \u2013 Being fired and in some cases even being blacklisted.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s give you some primary data from JantaKhoj to substantiate our case.
