Jain clarified that UGC has been, time and again, informing the students that it does not verify degrees and certificates. “The degrees and certificates are to be verified by the university concerned which has awarded them.

“It is, therefore, requested that the universities may please ensure that request or any other clarification regarding the verification of degrees, diplomas and certificates issued by them are responded timely in the interest of students,” he added.
