History
Education verification
Confirms a degree with the university, board or professional body that actually issued it — not the certificate the candidate uploaded — matching the certificate serial against the registrar's own roll before it counts as verified.

University & Board Sources
Direct verification through university registries, national boards, and digital locker integrations.
DigiLocker
Cross-checked against the National Academic Depository where the institution has digitised its records.
Universities
Direct written or API confirmation from the institution that actually issued the degree.
State boards
10th and 12th marksheets confirmed against the board's own record, not the printed marksheet.
UGC
Institution recognition confirmed against UGC or AICTE's current list before anything else is checked.
Global alumni
International degrees verified through a local partner in the country of issue.
Every field, compared and verified
Every field below is checked against a named source, not inferred. Open one to see the declared value beside what the source actually returned.
Institution recognition
Confirmed against UGC, AICTE or the relevant state board before anything else is checked.
Where the answers come from
Registries and databases queried directly. Open a card to see exactly what it returns.
University and board registrars
Direct written or API confirmation from the institution that actually issued the degree.
DigiLocker / NAD
Cross-checked against the National Academic Depository where the institution has digitised its records.
College records offices
For affiliated colleges, the records office holds the roll the affiliating university doesn't.
Professional bodies
ICAI, ICSI, ICMAI and similar bodies confirm membership and standing directly.
Watch each education source answer, one at a time
A registrar, a depository, a records office and a professional body answer different questions in different ways. Pick one to watch that route run end to end.
From consent to a routed decision
Three stages, the first two running for every candidate, the third only when something needs a human.
Request the record
A written or API request goes to the registrar, board or professional body that actually issued the qualification.
Reconcile the response
The registrar's reply is matched line by line against what the candidate declared.
Close or escalate
A clean match closes automatically; anything else is reviewed before it reaches the report.
What a discrepancy looks like — next to what a clean pass looks like
Most cases close like the record on the right. The one on the left is a real failure mode, with the evidence attached exactly as an adjudicator would see it.
Certificate serial not in the registrar's roll

- Written confirmation: serial matches no student in that batch
Escalated
Flagged as a discrepancy, not auto-failed. The candidate was given the chance to submit a corrected serial or a provisional certificate; with no response after 5 working days, the case escalated to the client's own adjudication policy with the registrar's letter attached as evidence.

Questions HR and risk teams actually ask
There's a defined escalation ladder: a written request, a phone follow-up, and a DigiLocker/NAD cross-check where available. If none of that produces a response, the case is marked as an insufficiency with the reason documented — it is never silently closed as clear.
Through a verification partner in the country of issue, using the same registrar-first principle. It takes longer — typically 10–15 days — because there's no direct API or DigiLocker equivalent to speed up the request.
The check confirms the programme is recognised by the UGC's Distance Education Bureau before verifying it with the awarding institution — a correspondence degree isn't treated differently once recognition is confirmed.
Verification falls back to the affiliating university's records or the state's alumni/records archive, which typically still holds the roll even after a college shuts.
Primarily by matching the certificate serial against the registrar's own issued-certificate roll — a serial that doesn't appear in that roll is the strongest signal, stronger than any visual inspection of the uploaded document.
