In a major step towards digitization, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) uploaded 8,482-degree files to the 24/7 online storehouse of all academic awards, i.e., NAD (National Academic Depository).
Degrees, Diplomas and Certificates of BA, MA, M.Phil and Ph.D of JNU students from 2014-2018 have been uploaded on NAD till now. The administration feels that both the stakeholders of NAD i.e., the students and the institutions can access the academic records of students without compromising the confidentiality, authenticity and integrity of the database.

The main objective of uploading JNU degrees on NAD is to curb the forgery of documentation. The academic records of students are uploaded in a digital format consisting of photographs and other relevant information inscribed upon it. It also means the students cannot upload any detail pertaining to academics of degrees from their end.
Availability of academic details of a student will help stakeholders in various ways. For example, an employer can get authenticated information of a candidate while NAD will notify the candidate on his/her registered details.
